Gabriela Herrera and Diego Chávarri announce breakup with conflicting accounts
Dancer Gabriela Herrera and former soccer player Diego Chávarri announced the end of their two-month relationship on October 10, 2026, publishing simultaneous statements on social media that differed on whether the breakup was a mutual decision or initiated solely by Chávarri. The couple originally formed a romance in early August 2026 following their appearance on the reality television program La Granja VIP Perú.
The public split arrived just weeks after the pair formalized their relationship, which had initially sparked controversy during their time together on the reality show while Chávarri was still linked to his former partner, Thalía Bentin, according to the sources. Following their exit from the program, Chávarri and Herrera launched a podcast together where they confirmed their status as a couple.
Conflicting Statements on the Breakup
The public announcements issued by both personalities presented contrasting accounts of how the relationship concluded. Chávarri shared a brief statement declaring that he chose to end the romance, writing that he preferred to keep the reasons private while thanking the public for their support, as detailed in the sources. In contrast, Herrera stated in her own message that the separation was an agreement reached by both parties, describing their brief time together as a positive chapter filled with learning experiences, according to the sources.
Journalist Samuel Suárez reached out to Herrera via social media platform Instarándula to question the discrepancy, specifically pointing out Chávarri’s phrasing that he decided to end things, as reported in the sources. Herrera chose not to respond to the inquiry, leaving the exact catalyst for the separation unaddressed. Suárez noted on his platform that the dancer elected to ignore the tag and maintain silence regarding the matter.
Past Relationships Draw Attention After Separation
The separation drew renewed public attention to Chávarri’s past relationships. Shortly after the announcements by Herrera and Chávarri, Thalía Bentin shared a video on Instagram reflecting on finding happiness in everyday moments, such as staying in with a series and pajamas, which media outlets noted coincided with the timing of the split. Bentin did not mention either individual in her post.
During Chávarri’s participation in La Granja VIP, his growing closeness with Herrera created friction with Bentin, leading to their subsequent separation amid public disputes. Days prior to his latest breakup announcement, on October 6, 2026, Chávarri had warned that he might take legal action against Bentin if she failed to substantiate claims regarding an alleged encounter between him and Herrera at his apartment, as noted in the sources. Neither Herrera nor Chávarri has provided further clarification regarding the reasons behind their separation.
