Peruvian television host Silvia Cornejo celebrated the baby shower for her second child on her social media, in a gathering that included close friends and family but not her husband, businessman Jean Paul Gabuteau.
Cornejo, 39, confirmed in her posts that she is expecting a boy and will name him Antoine. She had revealed weeks earlier that she was pregnant and six months along, an announcement she made shortly after Gabuteau was caught meeting his ex-partner Analia Jimenez.
Friends rally around Cornejo
The gathering was also marked by support from figures in Peru's entertainment world, including Maju Mantilla and Olga Zumaran. Mantilla, a close friend of Cornejo's and fellow native of Trujillo, shared her own photos from the celebration on Instagram.
At the party, Cornejo wore two green dresses that showed off her baby bump, which guests gently touched during photos taken in front of the main decorations.
Gabuteau's infidelity scandal
Gabuteau's latest infidelity episode sealed the end of his marriage to Cornejo, who confirmed the couple's separation shortly afterward following 11 years together. The host is now shown surrounded by her closest circle as she begins this new personal chapter.
Mantilla, a former beauty queen, dedicated warm words to Cornejo in her post, writing that a baby was on the way and that she was accompanying Cornejo through the sweet wait, calling them special, beautiful moments that stay in the heart, and wishing that God would always be with her.
Followers react online
Comments quickly followed on Mantilla's Instagram, with several followers highlighting the support Cornejo is receiving during a pregnancy she is going through without Gabuteau, something she confirmed after the encounter was exposed by television host Magaly Medina.
Among the reactions from users were comments calling her friends worth more than gold, telling her she looked beautiful and radiant, saying no one should hurt her heart because she is beautiful inside and out, and encouraging her to always shine for her children.
