The brother in the middle: Ernesto D’Alessio talks about divorce
Things are complicated in the D’Alessio family. As Jorge and Marichelo navigate their separation after 14 years and three children, there is a third voice that tries to maintain balance: Ernesto, the brother.
And his position is clear. He doesn’t take sides.
“Actually I accompany them both because Marichelo is the mother of my nephews; obviously Jorge is my brother and I am with him, but I also understand that Marichelo must be going through a difficult time. I keep saying ‘cuñis’ to him.”
That word says it all. ‘Cuñis’. An affectionate nickname that she refuses to retire, even when the legal title of sister-in-law could be at risk. It is their way of affirming that family ties go beyond a role or a breakup.
The outside noise and the family silence
While the networks boil with speculation – from deleted photos on Instagram to rumors of infidelities – Ernesto puts up a wall. Remember the old saying that your brother Jorge already used: dirty rags are washed at home.
And about the media circus, he doesn’t mince his words.
He is honest saying that “it’s worth it” and regrets that today, in order to monetize, atrocities are said. He and his brother are hardened against that gossip, but that doesn’t make him any less tired.
His role now is that of bridge. He assures that his children will continue to see their cousins ”because they love each other very much.” And for the adults involved, it has the same message:
“The day he needs me or she needs me, I will be there to give them a hug, a word of comfort.”
Does not reveal causes. It does not point out culprits. It only offers comfort. In the midst of public drama, his stance is a rare reminder of humanity: sometimes, all you have to do is be present.
