It’s been a tumultuous few months for 28-year-old producer Andrés Tovar, who has been caught up in an alleged love triangle involving extortion allegations, lawsuit threats, and chaos. On June 1st, Tovar confirmed on ‘Sale el sol’ that he was divorced from 32-year-old actress Claudia Martn, whom he married in 2019. Hours before his announcement, TVNotas reported not only their separation, but also the involvement of another woman: 38-year-old actress and singer Maite Perroni. In his statement, Tovar denied that she had anything to do with the end of his marriage, and Perroni’s lawyer confirmed that they would take legal action against Martin to clear her name. Four months later, on October 20th, Perroni made her relationship with Tovar official, addressed the rumours and how they have impacted their safety, and shared her version of how their love storey began.

“When life gives you the opportunity to start over, do not hesitate to ask from the deepest part of your heart what your soul longs to find; this will never cease to surprise you,” Perroni wrote in her caption in Spanish. “A few months ago, a magazine published a series of lies about us, defaming and caricaturing us.” We didn’t talk about it before because we were acting legally, but our lawyers allowed us to do so today,” she wrote in response to reports that she was the “third” in their relationship.

The “Dark Desire” actress went on to say that she was the victim of blackmail, referring to a series of audios released by her lawyer in which Martn was accused of “extorting” Tovar. “We have been subjected to harassment, blackmail, and manipulation, and our safety and that of our families has been jeopardised.” Furthermore, she requested to be excluded from the’media circus,’ saying, “Things were not as they were told, and we do not want to be part of this media circus (which it appears we must endure as people dedicated to the show business because limits are broken in which people’s lives are violated and destroyed under the guise of “freedom of expression”).” “This is why it is critical that we clarify the situation,” she wrote.

Finally, Maite Perroni explained how their love storey began. “We have been friends for 20 years and this year we discovered that we were going through the same process: each of us was in mourning for having ended a sentimental relationship,” she wrote. As a result, for the first time since we met, we allowed ourselves to discover each other from a different perspective, to see each other through different eyes, and we are now very happy together.” “We ask you to respect our storey, and whoever wants to be a part of it, from love, will always be welcome,” the happy in love star concluded her statement.
