- The Couple Was Together for Over 10 Years
Actress and singer Angélica Vale has publicly confirmed her separation from Otto Padrón, her husband of 14 years, revealing that she learned about the divorce filing online — at the same time as the public.
During a broadcast of her show “La Vale Show Live”, the artist spoke for the first time about the situation, visibly emotional and in tears, explaining that she is going through a difficult but necessary process.
The news of her divorce was first reported by Argentine host Javier Ceriani, who leaked court documents from the case filed in Los Angeles.
“First, I have to tell you that yes, it’s true, I’m getting divorced,” Vale said at the beginning of her show, adding that the separation occurred in April and that she no longer lives with the father of her children.
“I Found Out Just Like You Did”
The actress explained that, although Otto Padrón had called her days earlier to discuss legal arrangements, she didn’t know the lawsuit had already been filed.
“I found out that the father of my children had filed for divorce just like you all did — yesterday, while having dinner with him, our kids, and some friends,” she confessed.

She said that during the dinner, a notification appeared on Padrón’s phone about Ceriani’s post revealing the court filing.
“He had called me days earlier to begin the process, and I agreed,” she added, clarifying that the official filing still caught her completely off guard.
“It Doesn’t Matter What Happened Between Us”
According to Vale, her ex-husband was also surprised to learn that lawyers had filed the paperwork a week before his birthday.
“He didn’t even know they had submitted the papers… but I guess that doesn’t matter anymore,” she said.
Despite the emotional pain of the breakup, Vale emphasized that her top priority is the emotional stability of her children, Angélica and Daniel.
“It doesn’t matter what happened between Otto Padrón and me, because we have two kids I want to see grow up healthy and strong,” she said. The actress made it clear that she is prioritizing motherhood above all else: “I’m not putting the woman first — I’m putting the mom first, because before anything else, I’m a mother.”
A Process Guided by Maternal Love
During the broadcast, Vale revealed that she had to talk to her eldest daughter before she learned about the situation through social media. “I had to tell her what happened last night — it’s a very delicate moment for her,” she shared.
Despite the separation, Vale said she is striving to maintain a cordial relationship with Padrón to ensure her children’s well-being.
She also mentioned that the family has continued to take trips together to minimize the emotional impact of the separation on their children.
With composure, she expressed her desire for a peaceful, drama-free process, focused on emotional healing and her family’s future.
“Love Ends”
Vale did not reveal the exact reasons behind the breakup but admitted that the relationship gradually wore down over time. “There’s nothing to hide. As my dear José José would say, ‘Love ends’ — and that’s what happened to us,” she stated.
She added that routine and lack of mutual attention were key factors in the separation. “We forgot to water the plant,” she said, using a metaphor to describe the neglect that ended their love story.
With honesty and grace, Angélica Vale closed one of the most significant chapters of her life, thanking fans for their support and emphasizing that her strength lies in her children and moving forward.
