A Separation That Sparked a Media Storm
Julieta Prandi surprised her social media followers last weekend by announcing her separation from Emanuel Ortega, just 27 days after their civil marriage and following six years as a couple. Early reports suggested the singer-songwriter had been unfaithful to the TV host with another woman, initially identified as writer Mariana Marx, who is close to Ana Paula Dutil, Ortega's ex-partner and mother of his children, Bautista and India. Marx denied the claims on the program SQP (América TV), stating that the whole story was a complete lie.[S1]
Days later, another name surfaced publicly: Josefina Lynch, a 27-year-old singer and model who previously dated Joaquín Levinton, the leader of the band Turf. On the program LAM (América TV), panelist Karina Iavícoli claimed that Lynch was the trigger for Prandi's divorce and noted a strong physical resemblance to Prandi. Iavícoli said Lynch had gone to the studio on Friday to record and that Prandi allegedly found messages between Ortega and the young woman, leading to a scandal that erupted that same day.[S1]
Lynch's Public Denial
On Thursday, October 15, after her name began circulating, Lynch defended herself through her official Instagram account (@josefinalynch_), where she has more than 35,000 followers. She stated clearly that she had absolutely nothing to do with the relationship or the separation of Emanuel Ortega and Julieta Prandi. She confirmed that her connection with Ortega was always strictly professional, related to a music project she is working on, and that there was never a romantic relationship between them, nor did they exchange messages of a romantic or intimate nature, as had been publicly claimed.[S1][S2]
Lynch expressed sadness at being drawn into a story that is simply not true, especially when it involves people going through a difficult personal moment. Out of respect for everyone involved, she said she had no intention of fueling speculation or publicly commenting on others' private lives. She concluded by wishing the best to all: to Emanuel, to Julieta, to those who spread the story, and to herself, hoping everyone can move forward with affection, respect, and peace.[S1][S2]
