Luis Fonsi and Adamari López have been separated since 2009, but judging by the excitement they generate every time their names are mentioned together, it seems like it was yesterday.
They had been divorced for almost five years when she published her book, Living, in which she shared their love story and how he was the one who discovered she had a lump in her breast that eventually led to breast cancer. In promoting this book, it was also implied that Fonsi had abandoned her during her illness.
But nothing could be more uncertain. López herself told how they got married when her cancer was already in remission.
During this time, the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter remained silent, except for a statement after the attacks against him in the press and online sounded dangerous.
That is, until now. In an interview with Puerto Rican YouTuber and radio host Molusco, Fonsi spoke for the first time about what happened, how he experienced the divorce and the attacks. The reason? The excitement that his new song “Turn the page “Panamá”” caused again.
A wound that still hurts
“Turn the page, you’re not the victim for them to love you, there’s no reason to feel pity, you’re living a story that’s already over,” the song’s chorus goes. In the video, the model has green eyes and it was quickly assumed that it was dedicated to Adamari López.
Although Fonsi has insisted that it is not aimed directly at anyone and that “a lot of people haven’t turned it around yet,” it’s not absurd to imagine that his marketing team has exploited the morbidity that the disconnect between them continues to generate to advance the song.
The fact that Fonsi has decided to speak on the subject even though he has never done so does not seem to be a coincidence either. Whether it was intentional will probably never be known, but it has become clear that the artist suffered the attacks in silence in the years that have passed since his divorce, and that perhaps the one who did not turn around did so he was. .

It’s not for less. The false versions about the breakup and the image destruction that Fonsi suffered would have hit anyone hard. He suffered not only personally but also professionally. Even more so because his actions were exactly the opposite.
The Truth by Luis Fonsi
In his interview with Molusco, Fonsi talked about the end of their relationship and how he experienced the entire breakup. Here are some of the most important phrases:
“I didn’t speak at all, I was silent for 14 years and the reason I was silent is because I could say anything and anyway people didn’t listen to me or didn’t believe me or.” I would be like the villain look.” So I said, look, you know what, I’d rather keep my mouth shut.
It was difficult because we met and it was a whine for both of us every day. And who was to blame for the breakup with Adamari López? I will never come here to reveal details or air dirty laundry. I will never say a negative word about her, I never have and I won’t because I have decided to keep the beautiful moments that I have experienced and I have experienced many very, very beautiful moments .
When I hear the word “abandonment” it is a word that is not part of the real story, it is part of a narrative that has been drawn and created, cool for a novel, but it is not real life. “There was never any abandonment here.”
Luis Fonsi’s career faded after the divorce and only regained momentum with “Despacito” and Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images.
In 2013, following the furore caused by Adamari López’s interviews in connection with his book Viviendo, the artist released a statement saying:
I endured it and remained silent. For being a gentleman, out of respect for her and what we experienced, out of respect for myself. Cover after cover, interview after interview, insensitive and cruel things are said that never happened.
Together we won. I was by his side throughout the entire treatment. I took care of her and cleaned her wounds. We fought this war and won it together. With love, patience, dedication and respect. A year later, in 2006, I married her. In love with a beautiful woman who was already cancer free at the time. “I do not desire you as a woman.”… Those words NEVER came out of my mouth. The times and dates do not match what is said publicly. How is it possible for a man to tell his partner, the woman? he loves that he doesn’t want her, and months later he marries her? Am I the only one who realizes this doesn’t make sense?”

A surprising generosity
The artist summarized the reasons that led him to ask his now ex-wife for a divorce with a simple “He was not happy” and preferred not to elaborate on the accusations of infidelity and rejection of intimacy . However, she said that López only asked her to give her the embryos that were fertilized before she underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Fonsi ignored the advice of his family and legal advisors and decided to grant the request. “During the marriage, the family conversation never came up because she went to Mexico for work. When we separated she said, ‘The only thing I’m going to ask you for is my embryos, I want them,'” Fonsi said.
“I think she thought I was going to tell her ‘no’ to her face, which maybe my lawyer and a lot of people recommended,” but he confessed that he couldn’t “live knowing” that she would “accept.” gone” López’s big dream of having a child because it could be “his only chance”: “I told him ‘yes’, not only that, but also that I have to be the father, I have the same rights “That’s not it.” “A donation, I have the same rights and I will be there,” he added.
Today Adamari López is the mother of Alaïa, the result of her relationship with her now ex, the Spanish dancer Toni Costa.
Luis Fonsi and his wife Águeda López have two children, Mikaela and Rocco. The artist declared himself “extremely happy”.
Turn the page
The attention that Fonsi’s interview with Molusco received was enlightening in many ways, but above all it showed how the stories that surround famous people often take on a life of their own. The truth about a breakup never lies with just one person.
Hopefully Adamari López’s fans, who have never stopped attacking him, can really turn the tide now that he has said his word.
