After nearly 10 years together and weeks of rumors, Valentina Ferrer confirms her separation from J Balvin

Valentina Ferrer confirmed her breakup with Colombian singer J Balvin this Wednesday through a statement posted on her Instagram stories, bringing an end to a relationship that lasted nearly a decade and was one of the most publicized in Latin entertainment.

The 32-year-old Argentine model and entrepreneur, announced the separation in a calm message from her account: “After sharing so many years and important moments together, José and I have decided to go our separate ways.”

In the text, Ferrer emphasized that the decision was made jointly and without conflict: "It has been a decision made out of love, respect, and the desire to do what is best for our family."

Both are parents of Río, born in June 2021, whom the model explicitly mentioned: "Our priority will always be to support Río with all our love."

The statement concluded with a request for discretion: "We are going through this process calmly and we deeply appreciate the understanding and respect towards this very personal moment for us."

J Balvin, whose real name is José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, had not made any public statement at the time the news was announced.

The confirmation comes weeks after rumors of infidelity that rocked the couple's environment. At the beginning of August, Mexican model and influencer Melanie Pavola publicly accused the singer of being unfaithful to Ferrer during her pregnancy, in a supposed meeting that took place in New York between 2020 and 2021. According to Pavola's account, after that encounter, the artist allegedly revealed to her that Valentina was pregnant. The accusations included photos and an audio recording, sparking widespread media debate.

Neither Balvin nor Ferrer responded to those accusations at the time, which fueled speculation about the true state of their relationship.

The couple met in 2017 during the filming of the music video "Sigo Extrañándote" and formalized their relationship in 2018. The relationship had already gone through a crisis in 2019, with a temporary breakup before they reconciled. In January 2025, J Balvin performed the song "Río" in Paris, dedicated to his family, and Valentina cried with emotion during the concert, which at the time was seen as a sign of family strength.

The separation marks the end of nearly 10 years of a relationship that experienced public ups and downs, a child together, and, in its final weeks, the burden of accusations that neither of them wanted to address in front of the cameras.
