This Saturday, Pampita Ardohain took part in the traditional pilgrimage to Luján, a demonstration of faith that brings together thousands of people every year.
From her social media, the model shared an emotional post that did not go unnoticed among her followers.
In an Instagram story, she posted an image in front of the Basilica with a friend, accompanied by the phrase: "Always with us and always with you".

However, this year, the walk had an even deeper meaning for Pampita: it marked exactly one year since the day when, during the same journey, she met Martín Pepa's mother, who is now her partner. That encounter, full of symbolism, marked a turning point in her personal life.
At that time, Pampita had just separated from Roberto García Moritán and was going through a period of personal introspection. It was during the pilgrimage when, almost by chance, she ran into Pepa's mother, whom she had known since adolescence, when both lived in La Pampa.
That moment was key for what would come next. In a recent interview on the show she hosts on eltrece, Pampita recalled that moment with humor and tenderness.

While she was talking about her physical preparation to walk more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) again, one of her fellow judges joked:"You ended up with a boyfriend and everything", alluding to the unexpected turn her life took after that experience of faith.
Quickly, the model tried to dodge the romantic reference, but her colleague exposed her without filter:"That's where you ran into your mother-in-law".
Faced with the insistence, Pampita did not deny it and ended up admitting:"You're right. I talked to Martín's mother and she told me her son was single, and I was single…".
Thus, it became clear that the spark between her and Pepa was ignited thanks to that casual conversation, in a context where faith and spiritual connection seemed to align the pieces of destiny.
How did Pampita prepare for the pilgrimage to Luján?
Days ago, the model had already announced on television that she had been enthusiastically preparing to participate in the pilgrimage again. "I'm already training. It's just 15 hours, something like that more or less", she commented with a laugh, showing that beyond the physical effort, it is an experience she lives with commitment and emotion.
