The Cuban singer Charly, member of the popular duo Charly & Johayron, publicly confirmed his romantic relationship with the Cuban influencer Esmeralda Deulof through a video on Instagram that set social media ablaze.
What finalized the confirmation was the exchange of comments between them. Esmeralda wrote, "I love you, my daddy," and Charly responded from his verified account: "@esmeralda_deulof I love you more, my girl."
The fans' reactions were immediate. Supportive and celebratory comments flooded the post, with followers expressing their joy at seeing the artist finally open up emotionally, something he had kept strictly private until now.
The confirmation arrived almost a week after rumors exploded on social media. Last Wednesday, Charly had posted a video in which he was seen carrying a young woman on his shoulders with the description I’m crazy to tag you @, without revealing her identity. However, fans immediately identified her as Esmeralda thanks to details such as a distinctive anklet, recognizable heels, and her square-shaped nails. "Look for a post on @esmeralda_deulof's profile from November 28, 2025, and in those photos, she has the same heels and the same dress with the bottom open like that. You’re welcome," wrote a follower in the comments of that post. Another added, "How lovely the anklet is, just like the one on @esmeralda_deulof."
The rumors, however, had been circulating for much longer. In late January 2026, several fans claimed to have seen Charly and Esmeralda together at the airport headed to Puerto Rico, suggesting that their relationship has been developing discreetly for several months.
Esmeralda Deulof is a Cuban influencer based in Miami with over 300,000 followers on Instagram. Her personal life has garnered significant media attention over the past year: her ex-partner, content creator El Kende from Cayo Hueso, proposed to her at a concert in December 2024; the couple announced a pregnancy but experienced a loss after an accident in April 2025, and they subsequently separated. In February 2026, Esmeralda also faced the hacking of her Instagram account, from which manipulated images were spread that she publicly refuted.
Charly, whose real name is Carlos de Jesús Coronado Chirino, is part of one of the most popular Cuban urban music duos at the moment, alongside Johayron. They have hits like "Cupido" featuring El Taiger, which has surpassed 14 million views on YouTube, and the recent collaboration MAGIA with Nicky Jam, released in January 2026, which features a music video filmed in Rome and Miami. Unlike his partner Johayron, who became a father for the first time in February 2026 with Dane Batista, Charly has always kept quiet about his romantic life.
This discretion makes this confirmation particularly celebrated by their followers, who are already noting that Charly and Esmeralda make "a beautiful couple", as summarized by one of the most praised comments on the post that started it all.
