Peruvian television personality Mario Irivarren has rejected claims that he tried to approach his ex-partner Onelia Molina at a recent wedding. Speaking on a recent broadcast of his podcast La Manada Galactica, the former reality television star expressed frustration over suggestions that he attempted to initiate contact with the dentist during the ceremony held two weeks ago.
The controversy emerged after Molina and her current partner, Venezuelan influencer Kevin Diaz, gave ambiguous answers when asked by reporters about an alleged approach by Irivarren. Irivarren criticized both of them for leaving open the possibility of an event that he insists never took place.
During the podcast episode, which he co-hosts alongside Laura Spoya and Gerardo Pe, Irivarren stated that reporters asked Molina and Diaz about a situation where he supposedly tried to make contact. He asserted that no such approach occurred, adding that both Molina and Diaz knew it had not happened.
Irivarren added that leaving the door open to speculation was contradictory and created an unnecessary situation where he felt forced to clarify the facts. He maintained that he made no attempt to seek contact, make eye contact, or speak with anyone at the event.
Reactions From Podcast Co-Hosts
The situation also drew criticism from podcast co-host Laura Spoya, who expressed her own discomfort with how Molina and Diaz answered media questions. Spoya questioned why the couple chose to play with ambiguity rather than providing a direct answer.
Spoya noted that watching their response left her with the impression that an approach had indeed occurred. Both Spoya and co-host Gerardo Pe admitted that after seeing clips on social media, they were shocked and initially believed Irivarren had attempted to contact his ex-partner.
Clarification On Future Contact
Addressing claims of indirect communication, Irivarren emphasized that he never spoke to a third party or requested anyone to intervene to facilitate a conversation with Molina. He stated that crossing paths with anyone was never in his plans.
The model affirmed that no contact happened and none will happen in the future. He added that he understands and respects Molina's relationship with Diaz, emphasizing that he holds no desire to cause even the slightest annoyance.
Background And Relationship History
Irivarren is a prominent figure in Peruvian entertainment, having risen to fame as a long-time contestant on the reality competition television series Esto es guerra. Molina, a practicing dentist, gained widespread media attention through her television appearances and relationship with Irivarren.
The former couple separated following a widely reported tabloid scandal, known locally as an ampay, which occurred while Irivarren was in Argentina. Molina has since begun dating Diaz, a Venezuelan digital content creator and social media influencer.
La Manada Galactica is a Peruvian digital entertainment program and podcast hosted by Irivarren, digital creator Gerardo Pe, and model Laura Spoya, who represented Peru at Miss Universe 2015.
