After sixteen years together and a child in common, Lourdes Sánchez and Pablo “El Chato” Prada have separated. The information was revealed by Ángel de Brito on LAM, who said he spoke personally with El Chato Prada and asserted that the producer had discovered infidelity.
According to the journalist, Lourdes would currently be in a relationship with Fran Liotta, a 27-year-old man from Corrientes, for about four months.
“The love is over,” De Brito said when announcing the separation. The host also explained that he remains friends with both of them and that he decided to share what happened after speaking with Prada and seeing him affected by the situation.
The Infidelity That Allegedly Triggered Lourdes Sánchez and El Chato Prada’s Separation
According to what Ángel de Brito recounted, El Chato Prada would have discovered the infidelity some time ago. The journalist noted that Lourdes’s relationship with the Corrientes native began about four months ago and that the situation ultimately led to the couple’s definitive break.
“There was infidelity involved, a 27-year-old boy from Corrientes named Fran Liotta,” De Brito said on LAM, where he also showed images of the young man.
According to the information circulated, the distance between Lourdes and El Chato would have also been related to the dancer’s professional activity in Corrientes. Lourdes moved there because of her work as director of the Institute of Culture of the province, while Prada stayed in Buenos Aires with Valentín, their shared son.
De Brito further maintained that the alleged relationship between Lourdes and Liotta began from the closeness created by the dancer’s installation in Corrientes.
“I Was Living in Agony”: Lourdes Sánchez’s Blunt Phrase
After the news began to circulate, Lourdes Sánchez confirmed the separation and spoke about how she had endured the relationship in recent years.
In a message she sent to Ángel de Brito, the dancer left a line that quickly became one of the strongest statements of the day: “I’m not sad, I’m sad for Valen. For years we were trying to pull it off. I was living in agony.”
With those words, Lourdes suggested that the couple’s crisis hadn’t started recently, but rather that there had been an ongoing wear that both had tried to overcome.
The dancer also drew attention to Valentín, the 10-year-old son she has with Prada, at a moment that was especially delicate for the family.
A 16-Year Relationship That Reached Its End
Lourdes Sánchez and El Chato Prada met in the Bailando por un sueño universe and built a relationship that lasted for more than a decade. Together they became parents to Valentín and went through different stages of their personal and professional lives.
In recent years, the couple had faced various crisis rumors. In May 2025, they publicly denied rumors of separation and infidelity. On that occasion, Lourdes had stated that they had an honest relationship and that they talked about everything, while El Chato also denied that they were going through a breakup.
Even earlier, they had been part of one of the most romantic moments of their story: during the Corrientes carnival, El Chato had proposed marriage to Lourdes in front of her family and Valentín. She had accepted and shared the moment on her social networks.
Now, more than a year after those rumors that they had denied, the separation was confirmed and the couple took different paths. While details of the split continue to surface, Lourdes’s words made clear that, from her perspective, the relationship had been deeply worn down for a long time.
