DUM Writing - Rumors about a possible separation between Eugenio Derbez and Alessandra Rosaldo have caused a stir on social media and entertainment media in recent days. The absence of public appearances together and the fact that they currently reside in different countries raised the alarm among their followers, but the Mexican actor and comedian himself took care of clarifying everything.
During his participation in the Media Summit 2025 organized by the National Association of Latino Producers, Derbez explained that there is no sentimental breakup, but rather a temporary distance for work reasons.
"Yes, we are physically separated because she is working in Mexico and I am here, but we will see each other again soon. Then we will separate again because that's how it is, we are always working. But we are still together, as was seen in the march where we were both," the actor declared to Ramón Áviles.
Speculations gained momentum after the psychic Mhoni Vidente stated that she saw an "end of cycle" between the couple, which unleashed a wave of theories about a possible breakup. However, Eugenio was forceful: there is no separation, only complicated schedules.
For her part, Alessandra Rosaldo also recently spoke about difficult moments in her relationship with Derbez. In an interview with Martha Debayle's podcast, she recalled the emotional process she went through when he was not willing to get married or start a family, something that was fundamental to her.
"I cried for months. I loved him with all my soul and let him go. Neither of us was doing well at that moment. It was a painful process, I made hard, but necessary decisions... and in the end, yes, we had our happy ending," Rosaldo said.
Despite past differences, the couple has managed to consolidate over time and raise their daughter Aitana together. Today, although their professional commitments keep them apart at times, "the love between Eugenio and Alessandra is still alive", as both have stated.
