Peruvian television presenter and model Natalie Vertiz has spoken candidly about her 11-year relationship with Yaco Eskenazi, reflecting on their contrasting personalities and their shared commitment to family life.
Speaking during an appearance on the podcast La Manada, the former beauty queen acknowledged that while her personal dreams and aspirations do not always match those of her husband, the couple remains aligned on their core goal of staying together and raising their children.
Vertiz explained that she consistently chooses to focus on the positive aspects of her husband. She emphasized that building a lasting marriage requires recognizing that two people can possess entirely different ways of thinking and living. Vertiz acknowledged that every couple experiences good and bad days, but noted that the essential factor is understanding that despite being completely different worlds, both partners still want to walk the same path.
Family remains the central focus for both figures. Vertiz stated that although her individual projects and ambitions may differ from those of Eskenazi, both are determined to keep their family unit intact for their children. She noted that she is certain her dreams are not the same as Eskenazi's, but stressed that at the end of the day they both share the fundamental desire to remain united for their children and their family bond.
Navigating differences and public exposure
After more than a decade together, Vertiz was emphatic about Eskenazi's place in her life, stating that she cannot imagine a life without him despite any differences that exist between them. She confirmed that their shared family project continues to be a top priority for both of them as they move forward.
Vertiz, who is active in digital broadcasting and streaming, also opened up about the challenges of managing personal privacy when both partners work in the public eye. She admitted that she initially became upset when Eskenazi shared personal details and family anecdotes on his own digital broadcast, the podcast El Loco y Yaco.
The model revealed that on more than one occasion she confronted her husband after episodes aired, asking him why he had shared specific stories or why he felt the need to reveal intimate aspects of their private lives to his audience.
A prominent Peruvian entertainment couple
Vertiz and Eskenazi represent one of the most recognizable and enduring couples in Peruvian show business. Vertiz rose to national prominence after winning the Miss Peru title in 2011 and representing the country at the Miss Universe pageant, later building a career as a top fashion model, digital creator, and television presenter on major networks in Peru.
Eskenazi gained widespread television fame as a reality show personality and team captain on the popular competition series Esto es Guerra, before transitioning into acting, sports broadcasting, and hosting entertainment programs. The couple married in 2015 in a widely televised ceremony after meeting on national television, and they have since built a family with two sons.
Commitment to a shared future
Despite the differences in their personal goals and media projects, Vertiz emphasized that mutual understanding and acceptance remain key to sustaining their long-term union. She reiterated that as long as both partners share the same goal of supporting their children, their marriage will remain strong.
As both personalities continue to expand their work across television and digital streaming platforms, Vertiz confirmed that their joint commitment to their children and family project remains firm for the future.
