WHERE: Univision.com (keyword: Vidas Cruzadas) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: “Vidas Cruzadas” is a story that takes you on a journey of a lifetime. Meet Mariana, a writer at L.A. Mujer magazine. With her good looks and zest for life, most would say she gets exactly what she wants, but what Mariana wants most is a family. After putting an end to a long fruitless relationship, she swears she’s done with love but is torn because she still longs to have a baby. In the process of making life changing decisions, she meets Daniel, her ideal soulmate.
Daniel is an irresistibly single, handsome businessman. Despite being a great catch, he hasn’t had a serious relationship since he discovered his ex-fiancée’s infidelities, which have left him somewhat skeptical about marriage and commitment. But all that changes when Mariana stumbles into his life in an unexpected manner and helps him discover true love.
Find out what happens when the lives of these two people collide, and what ensues as a secret threatens to keep them apart. “Crossed Lives” is the result of a partnership between Univision Interactive Media, the interactive division of Univision Communications Inc., the premier Spanish-language media company in the United States; Endemol USA, the leading producer of digital and television programming specializing in reality and non-scripted genres for network and cable television; and Amistad Productions.
