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 getting close to one of her exes, Nico Occhiato. The story generated strong reactions on social media, and the versions immediately pointed to the host, who had a relationship with the singer for several years.

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 told happened the other way around. The whole trip 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 pursued 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 ask 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 hardly remembers that situation and expressed disbelief at the attention 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 clarifying the facts, Cande aimed 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 heard and complicated Flor Vigna's original account. While the singer had pointed to a closeness between Ruggeri and 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 expressed their views on what happened, although the conversation on social media remains active.
