Benjamín Vicuña revealed what started his fight with China Suárez

The peace between Benjamín Vicuña and Eugenia "la China" Suárez appears to have come to an end. After years of cordial agreements regarding the upbringing of their children Magnolia and Amancio, a series of social media posts by the actress sparked a new phase of public tension between them.

Everything began weeks ago, when la China shared a post in which, ironically, she referred to Vicuña as "father of the year" and accused him of being an absent father, in addition to insinuating that he had addiction problems. The post caused a major stir on social media and in the press, and although it was deleted some time later, the controversy had already taken hold.

Vicuña's response: "It was food for social media"

Until now, Vicuña had avoided speaking directly about his ex-partner's statements. However, in a recent interview given to the Chilean magazine Velvet—shared in Argentina by the program LAM—the actor broke his silence and referred to the conflict as "regrettable."

"With her, while separated, we had for years a harmonious, flexible arrangement, based on understanding, affection, and respect", he began. According to his explanation, what broke that harmony was precisely the public exposure of differences that had previously been solved in private.

"Today we have to go through this painful situation... but I'm going to keep betting on understanding between adults, for the sake of the children", assured the Chilean actor, making it clear that his priority remains the emotional stability of his children.

When asked about the content of la China Suárez's post, Vicuña avoided responding with direct confrontation. Instead, he chose to focus on his role as a father: "I want to be the father my children need. A father with good days and bad days, with mistakes, real and close."

He added firmly: "I know who I am and my children know who I am". With these words, the actor sought to dismiss the accusations and reaffirm his commitment to fatherhood beyond the conflicts with his ex-partner.

Finally, he downplayed the scope of the controversy: "This was just food for social media. That's where it came from and that's where it dies", he stated, making it clear that he doesn't intend to escalate the conflict publicly.
