Personal life
In 1994, Sancho had a son with actress Silvia Bronchalo when he was 19 years old.[1][13] According to Sancho, previously self-described as a golfo ("rascal"), fatherhood made him a responsible person "all of a sudden".[14]
In 2005, he entered a relationship with Xenia Tostado, with whom he had a daughter in 2015.[13][15]
In August 2023, Sancho's son, Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, was indicted in Thailand on charges which included premeditated murder and concealment of a body, relating to the death of Edwin Arrieta Arteaga, a Colombian plastic surgeon, when both were on vacation in the country.[16][17] His trial commenced in April 2024 during which he pleaded not guilty,[18] and in August 2024 he was sentenced to life imprisonment.[19]
