Argentine actor Pablo Heredia has publicly addressed a past relationship with Peruvian model Milett Figueroa, contradicting Figueroa’s recent claim that Marcelo Tinelli was her “first Argentine.” Heredia’s comments came during an interview on the streaming program Bondi Live OK, hosted by Pepe Ochoa and Santiago Riva Roy, according to reports from Peruvian media outlets Infobae Perú and ATV.
Heredia, known for his roles in Argentine telenovelas including Verano del 98, Rebelde Way, and Floricienta, recounted a moment during a previous appearance on the Peruvian television show El valor de la verdad, where he was subjected to a lie detector test. When questioned about his relationship with Figueroa, the machine indicated he was telling the truth when he confirmed they had been involved. “I said, ‘Yes, it happened,’” Heredia stated, adding, “And I spoke very well. Yes, we had something very nice.”
The actor described the encounters as “ampays” – a Peruvian term for paparazzi shots of public figures – noting that he and Figueroa were photographed together on multiple occasions. “In Peru, when they uncover you with someone, for example, having dinner or walking down the street, it’s called an ‘ampay’,” he explained.
Heredia expressed fondness for Figueroa, stating, “I really liked Milett, I liked her a lot and we were very good friends… I had a good time, I don’t recognize how she had it. But I had a good time and it was a nice experience.”
When asked by Riva Roy if he would pursue a relationship with Figueroa should she finish her current relationship with Marcelo Tinelli, Heredia firmly responded, “No, no. If there’s one thing I know is how to close cycles. If it didn’t work, don’t go back. What are you going to do there? If you already know how it is. Are you going to waste time when there are eight billion people in the world?”
Responding to Riva Roy’s remark that Figueroa had stated Tinelli was her “first Argentine,” Heredia playfully countered, “No, no. I am Argentine. In 2016, I was also Argentine. Maybe I have Peruvian residency and that doesn’t count. It’s a gray area. Point for Milett, let’s say.”
Heredia’s statements have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with users expressing surprise at Figueroa’s previous denial of the relationship, as reported by ATV.
