The closeness between Daniela Parra and the Guatemalan influencer Pablo Villagrán within MasterChef México 24/7 escalated to a new level of tension. Marianela, Villagrán’s girlfriend, visited the set to express her discontent, while Daniela, in tears, apologized to her partner, Diego Hopster.
Diego had already confessed to feeling “primitive jealousy” upon seeing the coexistence between his girlfriend and Pablo, although he claimed to trust her. But the situation worsened when Marianela, who has been with Villagrán for four years, was disappointed by his behavior. During his visit to the program to bring him t-shirts, he made it clear that he was not happy at all.
Daniela, affected, reflected on how Diego would feel, who in her absence takes care of the tamale business and visits her father Héctor Parra in prison. Looking at the camera, he said:
“The only thing I wouldn’t want is for Diego to feel the same way. Diego, I want you to know that you know me, I feel like I don’t even have to explain this, but obviously nothing happens, Pablo is my friend, but I also understand if it bothers you, if you don’t like it, I promise to set limits; nothing has happened and nothing will happen, we are in a place with a thousand cameras.”
On social networks, users criticized both contestants for their approaches, considering that they have stable partners outside of reality. Daniela has indicated that Pablo is her “safe zone” within the program, but the media pressure and Marianela’s visit have highlighted the fragility of the limits in coexistence under 24/7.
