India Ortega spoke about the breakup between her father, Emanuel Ortega, and Julieta Prandi, and explained how her mother, Ana Paula Dutil, navigated the situation. She also defended the singer’s ex-partner against the comments she received and explained why she decided to step away from social media.
The model and singer shared in a recent appearance how her father is coping with this moment and touched on the impact the situation had on her mother, whom she also defended against the comments and the speculation circulating around the case.
Asked how the family is holding up after these weeks of exposure, India assured that things have calmed down. “It’s much calmer now. It was a matter that was resolved privately, which is how it should have been from the start,” she stated.
India Ortega explained how Emanuel Ortega is doing after the breakup
Speaking about her father’s present state, India admitted that although he appears better, he is still going through the emotional process that accompanies the end of a long relationship.
“My dad is doing as well as he can, and thankfully he’s better than on day one. Of course it’s a difficult process because it was a long relationship, and love doesn’t end overnight. But he’s doing better, he’s working, and he’s focusing on himself,” she explained.
The young woman also offered her perspective on the decision to make the separation public on social media. While she clarified that she has nothing against Julieta Prandi, she acknowledged that she would have chosen a different way to communicate the news.
“I wouldn’t have made that decision. I have nothing against the post she shared; it was her choice, I wouldn’t have done it,” she stated.
Additionally, she revealed that the post surprised her and caused her pain, because she learned of the breakup through that message.
“It hurt because I found out from that post. So perhaps it would have been nicer if they had resolved it privately. And, well, if anyone speculated about it, they could just say, ‘We separated,’ and that would be enough,” she expressed.

When asked about references to supposed lies and personal issues within the couple, India preferred not to get involved and clarified that she had no connection to those matters.
India Ortega defended Ana Paula Dutil and explained why she closed her social networks
One of the central points of her statements was the defense of her mother, Ana Paula Dutil, who chose to close her social media accounts amid the exposure and the comments tied to the separation.
India was emphatic in addressing the rumors that implicated her mother in the breakup between Emanuel Ortega and Julieta Prandi.
“I’m going to defend my mom. She has nothing to do with any of what is being said. If my mom went through hardships with my dad, as any mother would for the father of her children, my mom doesn’t sell anything and does not want to be with anyone other than the person she was with,” she affirmed.
The young woman also explained that it bothers her when Ana Paula becomes entangled in situations that, in her view, do not concern her. In that sense, she emphasized that her parents ended their relationship years ago and that none of them is seeking to rekindle it.
“My mom is always involved in these topics that have nothing to do with her. My mom let go years ago, he did too. My mom doesn’t want to go back, and nobody wants them to get back together. I knelt before my parents and asked them to please separate,” she recalled.

With these words, India referred to the family dynamics she experienced during her childhood and how she perceived the bond between her parents at the time.
The reason Ana Paula Dutil decided to step away from social media
India also revealed that one of the reasons her mother chose to close her social networks was the comments and the abuse she receives in public spaces.
“I say enough, because my mom has nothing to do with this. It’s a matter between them that has already been resolved privately and everything is fine,” she stated.
In this way, Emanuel Ortega’s daughter sought to set boundaries on the speculations and to defend Ana Paula Dutil from the questions she faced amid the separation.
