A Long-Awaited Announcement
The news her followers were waiting for has finally arrived. Sofía Clerici, 38, confirmed on Thursday, August 20, 2026 that she is pregnant. In a video posted on her Instagram account, where she has more than two million followers, the media figure shared her joy and revealed that she will embrace motherhood alone: "I'm going to be a single mom", she stated.
In the video, Clerici appeared smiling and direct: "Do you see me prettier? Do you know why? Well, I confirm it: I'm pregnant". The model also said she had just returned from the United States, where she underwent fertility treatment, and is still processing the news: "I arrived a few days ago from the US, so I'm processing everything".
"I know you want to know everything and you'll ask me a lot of things, but I won't tell them now. I just wanted to confirm that."
The influencer said she will choose "a very special date" to share more details, photos, and moments from this new stage. "I'm going to pick a very special date for me to show you photos and things you want to see", she added.
Legal Context: Acquittal in the Yategate Case
The announcement comes days after the courts acquitted Clerici in the case investigating Martín Insaurralde for alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering, known as the Yategate scandal. Clerici was investigated for the same crime, but an expert report determined there is no evidence that the former Lomas de Zamora mayor gave her the nearly US$600,000 found in her home.
However, prosecutors Sergio Mola and Diego Velasco appealed the decision by judges Ernesto Kreplak and Luis Armella, so her legal situation is not yet final. The prosecutors considered the acquittal "premature and arbitrary," as it was issued on the last day of Judge Armella's involvement in the case.
Key Details of the Case
- Yategate: A trip to Marbella in September 2023 with Insaurralde that led to his resignation.
- Acquittal: Ordered by judges Kreplak and Armella, appealed by prosecutors Mola and Velasco.
- Expert Report: Found no link between Clerici's assets and Insaurralde's funds.
Reconciliation with Insaurralde?
While Clerici celebrates her pregnancy, journalist Yanina Latorre surprised viewers on the show El Observador with a revelation: the model reportedly rekindled her relationship with Martín Insaurralde. According to Latorre, the couple "got back together," though she clarified that the baby Clerici is expecting "is from treatment" and would not be his.
However, Clerici herself denied being in a relationship. When asked by followers about her love life, she replied firmly: "I'm not dating anyone. I don't have the head for that right now. We'll see later". In another post she emphasized: "I just wanted to clarify that at this point in my life, I'm only dedicated to ME".
So far, neither Clerici nor Insaurralde has officially confirmed the alleged reconciliation.
The Desire to Be a Mother: A Long Journey
Clerici's wish to become a mother is not new. In an interview in March 2025 with Mañanísima (El Trece), the model had confessed: "It's a project I've been thinking about for quite a while. I did a treatment and froze eggs, but not because I can't get pregnant—because I haven't found the ideal father for my child. I'm very demanding in that sense."
In April 2026, Clerici gave hints by posting a photo of an exclusive baby stroller from the brand Gucci, a limited edition piece imported from the US. "We already have the ride", she wrote then, drawing congratulations from fans.
Born in San Nicolás, Clerici gained notoriety in 2012 when she appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine. Since then, she has built an image associated with travel, fashion, and luxury, and also developed her own lingerie line.
