It's official! Just three months after welcoming their son Justin, María Karla Castro has broken her silence to confirm what many suspected: her relationship with El Chulo has ended. The announcement came in a straightforward Instagram story: "Abelito and I parted ways a while ago, and we get along great because we share a child. Everyone deserves to live their own life."
The confirmation followed a recent stir caused by El Chulo, who declared himself "officially single" in another Instagram story. However, what truly fueled the gossip mill were recent images showing the reggaeton star in the company of Cuban singer Hallel Génesis and other Cuban celebrities. These pictures, shared by content creators like Un Martí To Durako, led to a flood of messages for María Karla, prompting her to set the record straight with her own social media post.
Notably, the couple had already unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted all shared photos, including those from their emotional gender reveal party before Justin's birth in June. This digital cleanse didn't go unnoticed by their followers, who are often quick to pick up on signs of relationship changes with just a scroll.
What could have spiraled into a celebrity drama instead showcased maturity. There were no passive-aggressive posts, breakup songs, or public spats. María Karla made it clear that despite their separation, mutual respect and a healthy co-parenting relationship remain priorities for their son's well-being.
While El Chulo continues his extroverted lifestyle—juggling interviews, new music, controversies, and even a boxing challenge to Charly from the duo Charly y Johayron—María Karla has embraced a more private approach, focusing on herself and her new chapter as a mother.
Thus, the singer and the model have definitively closed their love story, each moving forward separately, but with a shared commitment to their son and mutual respect.
