The Confession That Set Social Media on Fire
Lali Espósito once again became the center of media attention after her appearance on Martín Cirio's stream, where she answered without hesitation about her exes and left a phrase that has already gone viral: 'With Mariano, no. Honestly, what a drag. What a drag!'
The host's question was direct: Would she work with any of her ex-boyfriends again? The singer and actress, true to her style, didn't hesitate to differentiate. While with Peter Lanzani, Benjamín Amadeo, and Santiago Mocorrea she maintains a cordial relationship and would have no problem sharing a professional project, with Mariano Martínez the answer was a resounding no.
'I get along great with everyone. With Mariano, no. Honestly, what a drag.'
The History with Mariano Martínez: A 'Tormentous' Relationship
The relationship between Lali and Mariano began in 2015, when both starred in the soap opera Esperanza Mía on El Trece. The romance transcended the screen and became one of the most talked-about couples in Argentine showbiz, but it lasted only about six months. The breakup was confirmed in March 2016, after reports of a heated argument at Miami airport.
In a 2017 interview with Gente magazine, Lali described that bond as 'a tormentous relationship' and revealed that her inner circle noticed the deterioration: 'My loved ones told me: You're not yourself anymore, you lost your laugh.' She also confessed that 'I was always tense, making sure he was okay.'
The distance had already been marked in 2020, during an Instagram live with Cris Morena, when the producer said 'we won't name that one because he doesn't amuse us at all', in clear reference to Martínez. Lali responded with irony: 'We send him a warm hug from the internet ether.'
The Controversy with Eial Moldavsky
During the same stream, Lali also addressed the speculation generated by statements from Eial Moldavsky, who had said that a famous person invited him to travel to Spain with all expenses paid. Although he didn't name her, many linked the comment to the closeness they had shared.
The artist questioned that interpretation and clarified: 'One ends up looking like an old sugar daddy, like: Come, I'll pay for everything, I'll pay for your trip. No, I'm not the kind of person who does those things.' And she set her limit: 'At most, as a gesture, I'll invite you to dinner or something.'
An Unstoppable Artistic Present
Beyond the clashes, Lali is going through a great professional moment. With three shows scheduled at River this year, the artist continues to demonstrate her enormous drawing power. The stream host also joked about the criticism from Marcelo Polino, to whom Lali had already responded harshly on other occasions.
