A day after Ana Patricia Gámez’s divorce was announced, the topic was discussed in the morning show “Despierta América”, a Univision program in which the host worked for eight years and which today has among its members her ex-sister-in-law, Karla Martínez.
The separation of Ana Patricia and Luis Carlos Martínez, Karla’s brother, has generated great media interest, both because of the family relationship and the professional relationship between the two.
On October 21, the entertainment portal Las Top News, led by journalist Mandy Fridmann, reported that Ana Patricia had filed for the dissolution of her marriage after 11 years of marriage to Luis Carlos Martinez.
The couple, who married in 2013, have two children together, Giulietta and Gael, ages 10 and 7, respectively.
The news came as a surprise to many fans, who considered the former beauty queen and her husband to be a stable and exemplary couple. As a result, expectations were especially high as to how “Despierta América” – the program where Ana Patricia developed a large part of her television career and which she described as her “second home” – would react.
“Despierta América” shares the official message from Ana Patricia Gámez
On the October 22 broadcast, it was host Jessica Rodríguez who unveiled Ana Patricia’s official reaction, reading the message that the presenter posted hours earlier on her Instagram Stories.
Rodriguez introduced the subject carefully, saying, “I will now read Ana Patricia Gamez’s first reaction to her divorce.
He then read the statement that Gámez herself wrote to confirm their separation: “Over time, people and stages change, and with them also the paths. Our relationship as a couple has come to an end; roads separate, but there are bonds that are eternal: that of being parents of two precious children”.
Ana Patricia emphasized in her message the importance of maintaining family well-being above all else, emphasizing her role as a mother: “You have witnessed many stages in my life, and as always, I will continue to strive to get ahead, focused on my children’s well-being, my own and to work. Thank you for so much love and respect.
After reading the statement, Jessica Rodriguez publicly expressed her good wishes to the ex-conductor and her ex-partner: “And well, we wish them both the best for the welfare of the children”.
The tone of the segment was one of respect, empathy and prudence, avoiding rumors or details about the causes of the separation. The program’s stance was applauded by several viewers, who highlighted the sensitivity with which the topic was treated, considering the personal ties that unite the “Despierta América” team with Ana Patricia and her family.
So far, Karla Martínez, main host of the morning show and sister of Luis Carlos Martínez, has not made any public statements about the separation. However, in her social networks she has remained active, sharing reflections, thoughts and biblical passages, interpreted by some followers as signs of the difficult family moment she is going through.
Although he has avoided direct involvement in the controversy, his publications reflect a desire for peace and serenity for both parties. Sources close to her assure that her priority is to maintain family harmony, especially for the well-being of her nieces and nephews Giulietta and Gael, Ana Patricia and Luis Carlos’ children.
Since her triumph in “Nuestra Belleza Latina” in 2010, Ana Patricia Gámez has built a solid career in Hispanic television, characterized by her professionalism and closeness with the public. Her departure from “Despierta América” in 2019 marked the beginning of a stage more focused on her family and personal projects, such as her boutique Beashion.
The way in which the presenter has handled her separation -with a calm and family-centered statement- reflects a mature and respectful attitude in the face of a complex personal process. For its part, “Despierta América’s” gesture of sharing the message without speculation reaffirms the affection and consideration that the program has for one of its most beloved former members.
