During the beginning of the CNN en Español program Encuentro on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, Arduino stated:

"Two days ago it was the nineteenth anniversary of the death of my mother, a sudden cancer that she endured with unwavering stoicism; she said that when I died I wouldn't know what would become of my Father... and he left, only months later."

After 22 years, Guillermo Arduino left the American network CNN en Español in 2021.[9][10]
