Cuban actress Livia Brito confirms that she is in love, but issues a warning: “They get too involved.”

The Cuban actress Livia Brito has once again captured the attention of her followers, this time not for a new television project, but for a personal revelation accompanied by a firm boundary: her private life is not a public matter.

During a social media interaction, the star of several Televisa telenovelas honestly answered a question that had been asked some time ago: do you have a boyfriend? The actress confirmed that she does, but immediately made it clear that she is not willing to share details about her romantic relationship.

“I have decided not to share anything about my private life. Because people interfere too much, and I am a human being just like everyone else, I have the right to my privacy and I have the right to have a life that is mine”, Brito stated in a calm yet firm tone.

In her message, the Cuban-Mexican actress explicitly differentiated the areas that make up her daily life. “My life is mine. My professional life is for you. Everything I do professionally is to share with you. Outside of my profession, which is being an actress, it is mine. And I'm not going to share it with anyone because that's how things last longer,” she concluded.

These statements come at a critical time for Brito, whose personal life has been at the center of public debate for five years, following a legal incident that brought him face-to-face with a member of the press.

In June 2020, the actress and her then-partner, Mariano Martínez, physically assaulted the photographer Ernesto Zepeda on a beach in Cancun after he took pictures of them during their vacation. The altercation left the paparazzi with injuries that required medical attention, as well as the destruction of his equipment.

The situation quickly escalated to the courts, and after several years of litigation, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) recently issued a final ruling that obligates Brito to pay compensation for moral damages.

The actress defended her right to privacy during the proceedings and questioned the ethical boundaries of journalistic work. At the time, she argued that her case should serve as a precedent to define how far the press can go in covering the lives of public figures. However, the ruling by the SCJN was clear: in situations that occur in public spaces, the right to information and freedom of expression prevail over individual privacy.

Now, with the case closed and the verdict finalized, Brito seems to have taken a new stance. Rather than confronting the media, he has chosen to shield himself. His words on Instagram reflect a conscious decision to protect his private life, distancing it from the constant scrutiny that comes with fame.

The gesture can also be interpreted as a form of self-care amidst a career that has been successful but also marked by controversies. With this new phase, Livia Brito seems to be drawing a line between her work as an actress— which she continues to share enthusiastically— and a private life that she claims she wishes to keep to herself.
