Dante Ortega on Emanuel Ortega and Julieta Prandi’s Separation: What He Said About Ana Paula Dutil

30 October 2026

The separation of Emanuel Ortega and Julieta Prandi, which was revealed just 27 days after their civil marriage, continues to generate repercussions within the family circle. This time it was Dante Ortega, the musician’s nephew, who spoke about the matter in an interview with Desayuno Americano and referred especially to the versions that involved Ana Paula Dutil, Emanuel’s ex-partner and mother of his two children.

The young man avoided commenting on the reasons that led to the end of the relationship, but made clear that he did not believe Dutil had any intention of harming the bond. “Anita, besides being my aunt, is a great person, a woman with a huge heart, so I don’t think she would ever have the intention of breaking a bond,” he stated.

His statements came after various versions circulated about a supposed intervention by the ex-model in the couple’s crisis. Among them, it was mentioned that she would have facilitated contact between Emanuel and a woman who later would have gone to record at his studio. None of these hypotheses was confirmed by the protagonists.

Asked about it, Dante replied with humor: “You all want to stir up trouble for me.” Then he explained that he knows how his uncle works and that, from what he could observe, he has always behaved professionally with the people who pass through his studio.

“I understand that Emanuel is a very professional person, who works with people of all age groups. I have had the opportunity to visit his studio, and I think he always handles things in the same way,” he asserted.

The young man also made clear that he does not know what happened behind the couple’s closed doors and that it is not his place to judge the decisions of its protagonists.

During the interview, Dante said that he was able to see his uncle after the breakup and brought reassurance about his current state. “He is better. He is working, continues to collaborate with different artists and is well supported by family,” he assured.

The separation had surprised him, although he considered that if a relationship stops working, what matters is that each member can take the decision they need. “I don’t know exactly what happened in this case, but if there is something that stopped flowing in that bond, the best for them is that it be done separately,” he stated.

He also reflected on the changes in romantic relationships and the way crises are faced today. “People break up faster, they have less patience,” he commented. However, he clarified that he did not necessarily view this as something negative: “You have to be able to say what bothers you, what you no longer tolerate.”

Emanuel Ortega and Julieta Prandi had appeared at the Civil Registry of San Isidro on September 15, after six years of relationship and four of cohabitation. The ceremony was intimate and brought together a small group of family and friends. On October 12, the host announced that she had decided to end the bond.

“Every couple is a world with its own agreements, and some are not negotiable,” Prandi wrote on her social networks, where she also asked for respect for the personal moment she was going through. She did not provide details about the reasons for the decision.

In another segment of the talk, Dante explained why he refers to Ana Paula as his aunt and not to use the same form of address with Julieta.

“Anita has been with us throughout life, she watched me grow and I never used to call Julieta aunt, but because, I don’t know, it didn’t happen either,” he explained.

Nevertheless, he clarified that he has always had a cordial relationship with Prandi and recalled that they shared different family gatherings during the years he was with Emanuel. “She would come, she was part of the family when she was Emanuel’s partner. She was always present and I, whenever I had to talk to her, she has been very kind to me,” he noted.

Finally, Dante once again highlighted the affection he feels for Dutil and expressed his confidence that the circulating versions will not define the family bond. “I believe time is wise and knows how to put things in their place,” he said.
