For more than thirty years, María Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos formed one of the most iconic news couples in U.S. Hispanic television, co-headlining Noticiero Univision from the late 1980s until 2017.
Their chemistry, professionalism and commitment to the Latino community made them iconic figures. After 8 years of not working together, they finally reunited and through a podcast they had the opportunity to talk.
María Elena Salinas and Jorge Ramos reunion
The long-awaited meeting between the two came – not on television, but on the podcast Cinco Preguntas, hosted by Salinas.
The new season premiered on Thursday, August 14, 2025 and its episode opened with the return of Ramos as a special guest.
In a teaser shared by Salinas, she invites Ramos to relive their beginnings together:
“Let’s pretend we’re starting the newscast. Ready?“
“And how was it?” he jokes.
“How are you? This is María Elena Salinas…”
“And Jorge Ramos,” he replies.
“Welcome to our new life,” she concludes excitedly.
From newscast to podcast
In her Instagram post, Salinas expressed the emotion of the moment:
“After 8 years Jorge Ramos and I together again. But not presenting news, but talking about the past, present and future in my podcast @cincopreguntaspodcast. So many memories, so many experiences together”.
The news anchor has already started to do the same on his Instagram account reporting on the most important events of each day.
Voices celebrating a new chapter
The reunion generated applause on social networks.
Gloria Estefan described it as “fabulous”, Raúl González called them “referents, pioneers and irreplaceable”, Lili Estefan expressed: “The MAXIMUM”, and María Celeste Arrarás summed up her feelings with a simple but sincere “I loved it”.
This reunion not only awakens melancholy, but also underscores the legacy that both journalists left in Spanish-language journalism.
Their conversation promises to be an intimate journey through their career, experiences, their friendship and the impact they had on the Hispanic audience.
