The worlds of entertainment and soccer have crossed paths once again in an unexpected romance that's already generating repercussions. According to revelations on LAM (América TV), Lucía Celasco, the granddaughter of Susana Giménez, is reportedly beginning a relationship with Boca Juniors footballer Nicolás Figal.
The rumor gained traction during the latest broadcast of the show hosted by Pepe Ochoa, who replaced Ángel de Brito. During the program, Ochoa presented the enigma of a love story between "a model who is wealthy because of her family" and "a top-tier player."
After some clues and the interventions of Yanina Latorre and Julieta Argenta, Figal's name emerged as the male protagonist. The woman behind the mystery turned out to be Celasco, who, despite her low media profile, couldn't avoid the panelists' interest.
La pareja mantendría su relación en privado
According to details shared on the program, the relationship is said to have started between June and July, and both were seen at bars in the city of Buenos Aires. "It's a romance that doesn't bother anyone because both are single," explained Yanina Latorre, who took the relationship for granted.
All the evidence of the relationship
Pepe Ochoa provided more details and confirmed that last Monday they were seen on a date. "They were together; he has this approach that didn't surprise me. He arrives, then she arrives. They sit at a table, they're kissing, everyone saw them. Then they leave together," he recounted, confirming that the couple apparently didn't make much effort to hide the chemistry between them.
The daughter of Mercedes "Mecha" Sarrabayrouse and Eduardo Celasco, Lucía has always chosen a discreet profile despite the weight of her last name. As the owner of her own clothing store, she avoids giving interviews and manages her social media with caution, where she has over 270,000 followers on Instagram. She only shares fragments of her private life on specific occasions, which generates even more interest when she's linked to public figures.
On the other side of the story is Nicolás Figal, 31 years old, current defender for Boca Juniors, a club he joined in 2022 after playing for Independiente, Olimpo, and Inter Miami of Major League Soccer (MLS). Although he didn't get to play alongside Lionel Messi on the American team, he was part of the squad before the arrival of the Argentine star.
On a personal level, Figal was married to culinary influencer Florencia Fernández, with whom he had his daughter Felicitas in January 2020.
