Mercedes Funes's reaction after Nicolás Vázquez and Gime Accardi's separation

Amid the controversial separation of Nicolás Vázquez and Gimena Accardi, an unexpected post by Mercedes Funes sparked speculation and comments on social media. The actress, who was Vázquez's partner almost two decades ago, shared an image on Instagram that many interpreted as a gesture full of meaning.

It all began when, during the July 9 holiday, Mercedes posted a selfie to her stories taken during her gym workout. In the photo, she appears smiling, looking relaxed and focused on her exercise routine. Although for many it was simply a snapshot of her daily life, the image took on another dimension when journalist Guille Barrios reposted it on his X account along with a spicy message: "Her face says it all."

That simple comment was enough for users to start launching theories about the actress's expression and her supposed "enjoyment" regarding her ex-partner's breakup. "Hasn't she let go after 18 years?" one user asked, insinuating that Funes might still harbor some resentment or satisfaction over Vázquez's situation.

The messages quickly multiplied, with dozens of people commenting on Mercedes's smile and directly associating it with the recent media scandal. However, other users came to the actress's defense, emphasizing that it had nothing to do with the couple's separation, who had been together for more than 15 years.

"Poor Mercedes! There's no reason to associate a photo of her smiling with what's happening. She suffered and moved on, mentioning this is revictimizing her and it's not right," wrote a Twitter user, recalling that Funes went through a painful breakup with Nicolás Vázquez at the time, but that over time both moved on with their lives.

Nicolás Vázquez broke his silence after separating from Gimena Accardi

After 18 years together, Nicolás Vázquez confirmed his separation from Gimena Accardi in an intimate conversation with Ángel de Brito, who called him live during the broadcast of LAM (América TV). Without avoiding the subject, the actor answered on air and shared his testimony for the first time.

"Eighteen years is no joke. One always tries to hold on to the best, but sometimes you have to take different paths and see what happens individually," he expressed honestly.

He also assured that they tried to save the relationship with therapy, trips, and a lot of communication, but that was not enough: "Love alone is not enough."

Vázquez explained that he decided to make it public because his theater colleagues and closest friends noticed his anguish: "It was hard for me to talk about it, but they saw me crying, locked away... I needed to speak. I couldn't pretend."

He said that those who found out first were his friends and his sister, whom he described as "his emotional support and a guide." About the image they projected as a couple, he was clear: "People saw us as the perfect couple, but nothing is perfect."

The actor concluded his testimony with a deep reflection on this moment in his life: "For a long time, I needed to focus on myself. There are things I have to heal. Sometimes life doesn't go in the same direction, even if love exists."
