Chilean host Rafael Araneda, who for several years shared the screen with Ana Patricia Gámez on UniMás’ “Enamorándonos USA”, spoke out for the first time about the recent separation of his former hostess and her husband, Luis Carlos Martínez.
Both hosts formed one of the most beloved duos in Hispanic television, and their work together on the hit reality dating show consolidated them as a reference among the U.S. Latino audience. However, since the end of the show, their professional paths have taken different directions.
While Ana Patricia Gámez confirmed that she is no longer part of Univision, Araneda has maintained a busy schedule of commitments, including her participation in the organization of the Viña del Mar 2025 International Festival and her recent attendance to the Billboard Latin Music Awards, where she offered statements about her friend’s personal situation.
During his visit to the blue carpet of the Billboard Awards, Rafael Araneda was approached by several media, among them Mezcal TV, who asked him directly about his opinion on the divorce of Ana Patricia and Luis Carlos Martinez, news that was made public days before and that caused great impact among the followers of the former beauty queen.
The Chilean presenter responded with words of empathy and respect, highlighting his friendship with Gámez and the prudence with which he has handled the situation.
“I have been in constant communication with her. She is my friend, I love her very much. Unfortunately her separation was made public. I hope she is well, that Luis is well, that the children are well, that everyone is well and that life continues in peace and harmony,” said Araneda.
His statements reflected the closeness he still maintains with his ex-partner and his willingness to provide emotional support at this complicated time.

When asked by reporters if he had offered any personal advice to Ana Patricia, Araneda was clear in assuring that these conversations belonged to the private sphere.
“Those tips I share with her privately,” the driver pointed out, avoiding going into details.
However, the journalist rephrased the question in a more general tone, seeking a reflection on how to deal with difficult situations such as a separation. It was then that Rafael shared a more universal thought: “For this type of situation… always think with the heart, not with reason. That’s what I think. And don’t listen to a lot of advice; follow your heart and your instinct.”
These words were interpreted by many as a sign of the life philosophy of the driver, who has stood out for his positive and empathetic approach to personal challenges.
After the cancellation of Enamorándonos USA, a show that for years aired on UniMás and became one of the network’s most watched shows, Ana Patricia Gámez decided to step aside from Univision and focus on new projects, including her work as an entrepreneur and her role as mother of Giulietta and Gael, her two children.
Rafael Araneda continues to be active in the world of entertainment. In addition to his collaborations with Telemundo and his role in the organization of the Viña del Mar Festival, the presenter has kept in constant contact with his followers through social networks, where he shares reflections on his career and family life.
Araneda’s reaction to Ana Patricia’s separation has been seen by the public as a gesture of solidarity and respect, in a media context where breakups are usually a reason for speculation. His reserved posture demonstrates his commitment to friendship and discretion, values he has maintained throughout his professional career.
Meanwhile, Ana Patricia Gámez is going through a stage of personal and professional reorganization, focused on her children and new work challenges. Her former partner, Rafael Araneda, continues to be a close figure, showing that the bond built in front of the cameras has remained solid outside them.
