Cande Ruggeri denied a romance with Nico Occhiato and turned around Flor Vigna's version

Cande Ruggeri found herself at the center of an unexpected controversy after Flor Vigna recalled an old anecdote and pointed her out for having approached one of her exes, Nico Occhiato. The story generated strong repercussions on social media, and the versions immediately pointed to the host, who had a relationship of several years with the singer.

In light of the numerous comments circulating, the model decided to break her silence and give her version of the events. Ángel de Brito shared on his streaming program that he contacted her directly to ask about the issue.

According to the journalist, Ruggeri was emphatic in denying that she had tried to seduce Occhiato. “Everything that was said happened the other way around. The whole trip he was behind me, and I didn’t get into any bed; it was the other way around,” Cande explained, according to what De Brito reported.

The model emphasized that she knew Nico was in a relationship and asserted that she would never have advanced on that situation. “I knew he was in a relationship, and I am very respectful of those things. Nothing ever happened with Nico,” she stated, according to the host's account.

Nico Occhiato's response

In this way, Cande completely turned around the version that had been established based on Flor Vigna's account and denied having had a romance or an intimate encounter with Occhiato. However, the story had a third protagonist.

Ángel de Brito also mentioned that he decided to consult Nico Occhiato directly about the situation. The host and producer's reaction was a mix of amusement and surprise, especially given the number of years that had passed since that episode.

“Hahaha. I can't believe it, I was 19 years old, and that happened 15 years ago. I don’t even remember what she’s talking about. Ha, ha, ha. Crazy, ha, ha, ha,” Occhiato responded. Thus, while Cande Ruggeri categorically denied having had anything with Flor Vigna's ex-boyfriend, Nico claimed that he practically does not remember that situation and expressed disbelief at the repercussions it garnered so many years later.

The episode highlighted how an old anecdote can resurface strongly in the current media landscape and generate new interpretations. By coming forward to clarify the facts, Cande sought to cut off the speculations that directly involved her.

A controversy that doesn't seem to close

Ángel de Brito's intervention allowed for the voices of both parties involved to be added and complicated Flor Vigna's original account. While the singer had pointed to an approach by Ruggeri towards Occhiato, the model maintained that it was exactly the opposite and that she kept her distance precisely because she knew about the couple's relationship.

Occhiato, for his part, downplayed the matter and placed it in a very distant time when he was only 19 years old. His response, filled with laughter and disbelief, contrasted with the seriousness with which Cande faced the circulating versions.

The exchange of statements brought old connections from the entertainment world back to the forefront and demonstrated that, even after more than a decade, certain episodes can resurface and spark debate. For now, the three parties involved have already expressed their views on what happened, although the conversation on social media remains active.
