The influencer, who had won the public's affection for her charm and commitment in every challenge, decided to end her participation in order to return to Europe and reunite with her partner, footballer Enzo Fernández, and her daughter, Olivia.
The news was confirmed by Ángel de Brito on LAM (América TV). "Valentina Cervantes resigned from MasterChef Celebrity. Today she informed the production and it was confirmed to me by Telefe," the host said, leaving the audience in shock.

He also specified that the model will record her last appearance on Monday, November 10, leaving the competition at a key moment.
Regarding the reasons, De Brito clarified that her decision is not related to the media clash she had weeks ago with Wanda Nara, the show's host. "She resigned because Enzo Fernández can't take it anymore, he asked her to get on a plane and come back, and she agreed," the journalist explained.
The family reasons behind Valentina Cervantes's decision to leave MasterChef Celebrity
Despite the rumors, everything indicates that Valentina's choice is purely a family matter. According to Yanina Latorre on the same show, the distance between family members had become difficult to sustain.
"The arrangement was that she would stay in Buenos Aires with the baby and the girl would be with him in Europe because she was going to school. The girl came here for Mother's Day and didn't want to go back because she misses her. The family was very separated and they're all going back to Europe," the panelist detailed.

This way, the model prioritized family reunion and her daughter's well-being. Enzo Fernández, who currently plays for Chelsea FC in England, had expressed to those around him that the distance was becoming increasingly difficult, especially because of his young daughter's growth, whom he sees less frequently due to both of their work commitments.
