Nicki Minaj and her controversial greeting to Trump with AI

Patricio Cabezut lived a Father’s Day marked by the absence of his two daughters. For four years, the driver has not had contact with them, following the lawsuit for alleged aggravated sexual abuse filed by his ex-wife, Aurea Zapata, in 2024.

The song of absence

Instead of family photos, Cabezut shared a song he wrote on social media: “Invisible wounds”. He accompanied the topic with a video in which he appears with glassy eyes and talks about the silence that separates him from Lucía and Fátima – names of his daughters, minors.

“I have discovered a new way of inhabiting the world, it is like when you dive to the bottom of a pool and the water creates a bubble that isolates you from everything,” he expressed in the clip.

The presenter linked his emotional state to the legal process: “Depression flirts with you all day, especially in the mornings when you get up, if you manage to do it before noon.”

The daily emptiness

Asked by the program Venga la joy, Cabezut clarified that pain is not exclusive to special dates: “Many more days where these girls have not been with their father. It is understanding that it is the life we are having to live, with the hole in our stomach.”

He remembered the closeness he had with them: “We were dad and two girls who did all the activities together. Having a two-hour program allowed me to be absent only in the morning when they were at school.”

He stated that his daughters also miss him: “Their dad continues to fight for them, he continues to raise his voice for them. I know that they love me and miss me.”

So far, Aurea Zapata has not issued statements regarding Cabezut’s words. On her networks, she shared an image with phrases like “I never learned to hate” and “I sleep peacefully with the certainty that I have a huge heart.”

The challenges of motherhood in acting

With 30 years of experience, Verónica Merchant confesses that her biggest challenge has not been playing characters, but rather balancing her profession with motherhood. Married to actor Daniel Martínez and mother of Alexis and Valentina, the actress recognizes that the pressure to comply on all fronts was constant.

“It was not easy. One of the challenges of being a woman trying to fulfill yourself in a career like acting is also being a mother. You must learn texts, take care of your image, be emotionally available for the characters and respond to the media. But at the same time you come home and continue being a mother. There are many roles happening at the same time,” she says in an interview.

Merchant points out that, although she had the support of her husband, the responsibility for the household fell primarily on her. “I had a great partner and a lot of support from him, but even so I was the one who was on top of everything. It is an enormous responsibility,” he says.

The actress also reflects on gender double standards. He explains that for years he felt the need to prove that he could succeed without neglecting his family, a requirement that is rarely applied to men.

“If we have children we are judged, and if we don’t, too. If we focus on our career, we are questioned for not being mothers. And if we decide to be mothers, then we are questioned for continuing to work. We must do everything perfectly,” she points out.

That personal experience connected her in a special way with the themes of her most recent work in the telenovela “Doménica Montero”, where she played Pilar Rivas, the villain’s mother.

“I didn’t see the other versions, but Doménica is a strong woman from the beginning, someone who falls, gets up, makes mistakes and finds redemption. Not everything is based on anger; there is also compassion,” she says.

Support from the stands

Shakira lived the World Cup from the stands. The Colombian singer attended the Argentina-Austria match in Dallas, Texas, accompanied by her children Milan and Sasha. Although he does not have Argentine nationality, he showed a clear inclination for the Albiceleste team.

The artist was caught on camera during the second half, around the 56th minute. Messi had just scored his first goal of the night, and would later add another to become the top solo scorer in World Cup history.

Shakira greeted excitedly when she noticed the approach. He waved his hands and blew a kiss to the audience. Her enthusiasm reflected the affection she has for Argentina, a country to which she was linked for years due to her relationship with Antonio de la Rúa, son of former president Fernando de la Rúa.

Message to the captain

After the victory that qualified Argentina to the round of 32, Shakira turned to her social networks. He posted a photo of Messi celebrating and wrote:

Very proud of you, Leo and of everything you are achieving for your family, for your country and for all Latinos, your dedication and dedication is an example for many, keep shining!

His children, Milan and Sasha, share a passion for soccer. Not only because of the legacy of their father, Gerard Piqué, but because they themselves play in the minor forces of FC Barcelona Escola.

Shakira closed the day happy, celebrating the Argentine pass and Messi’s record. The connection with the South American team is still valid, although she is Colombian by birth.
