The actor is best known for his telenovelas like Sortilegio and La Tempestad. He has also appeared in American movies like Girls Trip, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and Tyler Perry‘s The Single Moms Club. In 2012, he competed on season 14 of Dancing with the Stars and came in third place.
Levy’s arrest comes almost a year after his ex-wife, Elizabeth Gutiérrez, confirmed that the two had separated after 20 years together in May 2024.
“I always bet on my relationship. I loved William, I think it’s no secret that he was the love of my life as I always bet and wanted to show us as we were,” she began while reflecting on the various moments they lived throughout their 20-year relationship.

“I loved William, I think it’s no secret that he was the love of my life as I always bet and wanted to show us as we were,” she told HOLA! at the time. “Currently, we are not together. On my part, it was never for lack of love. I think I’m not the same girl I was 20 years ago when he met me. What we want at this moment is different.”
The news of their breakup came two months after Florida police were called to their once-shared residence over a suspected domestic disturbance. Since January 2024, the couple had reported multiple incidents to law enforcement, per police incident reports obtained by PEOPLE, with one taking place in March of that year and involving their daughter, Kailey.
