Luis Fonsi Breaks Silence on Divorce and Attacks in Recent Interview
Luis Fonsi and Adamari López, who separated in 2009, still continue to make headlines whenever their names are mentioned together. Despite being divorced for almost five years, their relationship continues to captivate the public’s attention. In her book ‘Living,’ López revealed that Fonsi was the one who discovered her breast cancer, leading to speculation that he left her during her illness. However, López herself clarified that they got married when her cancer was already in remission.
Fonsi, who had remained silent all these years, recently opened up in an interview with Puerto Rican YouTuber Molusco about his side of the story, coinciding with the release of his new song ‘Turn the Page “Panama”.’ The lyrics of the song sparked rumors that it was about López, although Fonsi denies it. Nevertheless, it is likely that his marketing team used their highly-publicized separation to garner attention for the song.
The reason behind Fonsi’s decision to speak out now remains unclear, but it is evident that he has faced attacks and public scrutiny since their divorce. False narratives about their separation and the damage to his image undoubtedly took a toll on Fonsi’s personal and professional life. Despite this, he chose to remain silent for years.
In the interview, Fonsi discussed the end of their relationship, emphasizing that he would never divulge negative details or speak ill of López. He adamantly denied any accusations of abandonment, stating that it was a fabricated narrative.
Fonsi’s career faced a decline following the divorce, but he made a powerful comeback with his global hit “Despacito.” In 2013, amidst the controversy surrounding López’s book, Fonsi released a statement in which he rebutted the false claims made about their relationship.
The artist also revealed that during the divorce, López had requested to keep the embryos they had fertilized before her cancer treatments. Despite the advice he received from family and legal advisers, Fonsi agreed to her request, stating that he couldn’t bear to take away López’s dream of having a child.
Today, López is the mother of Alaïa, from her relationship with Spanish dancer Toni Costa, while Fonsi and his wife Águeda López have two children, Mikaela and Rocco. Fonsi expressed his immense happiness with his current family life.
Fonsi’s recent interview brings attention to how stories surrounding celebrities often take on a life of their own. He hopes that by sharing his side of the story, the fans who have attacked him will finally be able to move on.
