The Cuban reggaeton artist Velito the Clown recently broke his silence regarding his former partner Thalía during an interview with La Familia Cubana. Despite the opportunity to delve into the details of his personal life that's been under scrutiny for months, he chose to keep his comments brief, avoiding any controversy.
The conversation took place as the artist arrived at a venue in Havana, where he was set to perform for his fans that night.
When questioned by the reporter about his private life and his relationship with Thalía, who is the mother of his two children, Velito offered a succinct yet seemingly conciliatory statement: "I am super happy, super content. And my ex is super happy and super content."
He declined to elaborate further, concluding the topic with a definitive remark: "Our private life... is private."
Before closing the subject, he acknowledged the inevitable chatter from fans and media: "Of course, I can be brief in that regard. Fans talk, you know? They will always talk. And so will the pages, that's their job."
His sole promise to the public was related to his music: "The only thing I can offer the public from my side is lots of music. Lots of music and lots of music."
A Breakup Surrounded by Controversy
The context of his words is particularly fraught. Velito and Thalía made their separation public on February 20, just days after the birth of their second child, Thiago, on February 9. The artist had left Cuba three days following the birth, sparking an initial wave of criticism on social media.
Thalía confirmed the split on Instagram with a surprisingly mature message: "His well-being is the well-being of my children, so I will never wish harm upon him." The actual breakup, however, had occurred months before the public announcement.
Since then, the drama has only escalated. In March, Velito was seen in Spain with Paula Martínez, a flight attendant, and on April 13 — coinciding with Thalía's 21st birthday — he made their relationship official with a romantic video featuring the phrase "I love you."
Thalía responded assertively to the situation: "I am a single woman, my children are not looking for a dad," she declared in a message that left no room for doubt regarding her stance.
Nicknamed the "Shakiro of Cuba" for his post-breakup songs, Velito also released a teaser for "Te echo de menos," a track with lyrics about jealousy, further fueling the online debate about their separation.
