Before her first public appearance with Martín Pepa at Margarita Barrientos's charity gala, Carolina Ardohain spoke in depth about her relationship with the businessman and detailed how she faces the challenge of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
After several weeks of rumors and speculation, the host acknowledged that the reconciliation came after a period of silence. "We talked after a month and realized that we missed each other a lot. That it was worth trying again," she confessed.
Although the distance had created difficulties, Pampita assured that both are committed to finding a balance: "We're going to try to see each other more often than every three weeks, because that was too little for both of us. We'll both travel. We have to find a way."

The model explained that, unlike other stages of her life, she decided to take a more mature approach: combining her media profile with the discretion her partner prefers. "I'm not going to give many details because he's not in the media. I've been doing this for 25 years, but I'm going to try to find a combination where I don't let you down, because I know you're interested in my personal life," she said.
She also revealed that the initial intention was to keep the reconciliation private until October, when Pepa settles in Argentina for the season. "The idea was not to talk about it until October. But well, when it's out, it's out," she remarked with a laugh.
When asked about reports suggesting Pepa was supposedly uncomfortable with the media exposure, Pampita was clear: "He does something else, he hasn't lived in Argentina for 20 years, and he has nothing to do with this."
Regarding rumors of third parties in the relationship, the model was blunt: "Many things were said with malice and they're lies. I don't understand why someone could hate me enough to say such awful things. Both his circle and mine know what we're like: really good people, really calm, without malice."
Despite media pressure and the complexity of sustaining a long-distance relationship, Pampita assured that what drives her is the authenticity of her feelings. "If I weren't in love, I wouldn't be doing all this. I always put my heart first above everything else. I don't care what people say, I always act according to what I feel, and I'm brave," she concluded.
