Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez, the super middleweight world champion, recently succeeded in retaining his four belts after defeating fellow countryman Jaime Munguía at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, by unanimous decision. While he experiences a high point in his sporting career, his personal life tells a different story. Canelo finds himself embroiled in controversy concerning his marriage to Fernanda Gómez.
An entertainment show revealed online interactions between Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Peruvian actress Verónica Montes, famed for her role as “La Condesa” in the series “El Señor de los Cielos”. The program aired the message along with the number of followers on Álvarez’s Instagram account to verify its authenticity. Montes disclosed that she received a private message from Canelo, sparking widespread speculation about the athlete’s private life.
The actress, Verónica Montes, spoke with the program and stated she would never respond to a married man. “Especially me, I would never respond to a married man,” she declared, emphasizing her principles and values. Montes explained that her decision not to interact with married individuals is rooted in her personal beliefs. “I wouldn’t like it if it were done to me when I’m married. I would never do it,” she said firmly. Although the content of the message was a mere “Hello,” the show’s hosts were surprised, questioning why he would take the time to send this message.
As of now, neither Canelo Álvarez nor his wife, Fernanda Gómez, have made any public statements regarding this controversy, nor have they addressed the issue on their social media platforms.
