The Cuban digital ecosystem was taken by surprise this weekend with the announcement of the separation of influencers Gabriela Sofía, popularly known as La Pitón, and her wife Sheila Fraguela.
The news was confirmed by Gabriela herself through her Instagram stories, where she sent a direct message to her followers, whom she affectionately refers to as "pitones."
The end of the relationship comes just five months after Sheila, a resident of Miami, traveled to the Cuban capital to marry Gabriela in a ceremony that was celebrated on social media as a symbol of love and unity despite the geographic distance.
That wedding, widely discussed in the Cuban digital entertainment scene, marked one of the most media-highlighted moments for the couple, who often shared humorous content, music, and dance, showcasing their camaraderie.
“Yes, my relationship with Sheila has ended. It has been a chapter that I am going to close, and I sincerely ask that respect be part of this phase of my life,” Gabriela expressed in a brief statement, in which she thanked for the support received during this process. The influencer assured that, although the pain persists, she trusts that with time she will be able to speak about the breakup with greater calmness.
"Thank you for so much love, thank you for the constant support all these days… At some point, the pain will pass and it will be very easy to talk about this. I LOVE YOU, and I know that we will start together, you and I, to live new paths," she added.
Staying true to her direct style, Gabriela also addressed those who often criticize her on social media: “And well, to the haters: THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, WELCOME BACK.”
The relationship between them began in 2023 and quickly garnered followers both in and outside of Cuba. However, after the wedding, rumors emerged about a possible move of La Pitón to Miami, a plan that never came to fruition.
In the past few hours, Gabriela shared a selfie with a red flower in her hair and a thoughtful message on Instagram, while Sheila Fraguela deleted all the posts from her account, which caused even more reactions among her followers.
