The Story Behind Cande Vetrano’s Selection as Lali Espósito’s Witness: A Friendship That Spans More Than Two Decades

2 November 2026

The intimate wedding of Lali Espósito and Pedro Rosemblat generated widespread attention and revealed some special details of the celebration. Among them, it was announced that Candela Vetrano, one of the singer’s closest friends, was chosen as one of her witnesses. The gesture sparked emotion and nostalgia among her followers, who remembered the beginnings of a friendship that spans more than two decades.

Lali and Cande met in 2003, during the auditions and filming of the children’s telenovela Rincón de Luz, created by Cris Morena. Both were born in 1991 and were very young when they first crossed paths on that project.

Those initial encounters gave rise to a bond that grew stronger over time through shared work. After Rincón de Luz, they reconnected in productions such as Floricienta and in the various seasons of Casi Ángeles, where they solidified a friendship that transcended the screen.

From castmates to neighbors and confidantes

Over the years, even as both began developing their artistic careers separately, they maintained a very close relationship. At one point they even lived in the same building and became neighbors, a living arrangement that gave rise to various anecdotes.

In a past interview, Vetrano had recounted that, when she came home exhausted from filming and had no food at home, she would ring Lali’s doorbell to ask for milanesas. A everyday story that reflected the trust and the complicity they had built.

Con los años, incluso cuando ambas comenzaron a desarrollar sus carreras artísticas por separado, mantuvieron una relación muy cercana.

Over time, the two artists spoke about their bond and came to define themselves as sisters rather than friends, after having shared so many personal and professional experiences.

A lo largo del tiempo, las dos artistas hablaron de su vínculo y llegaron a definirse como hermanas más que amigas, después de haber compartido tantas experiencias personales y profesionales.

The bachelorette party that Cande Vetrano organized for Lali

The friendship also had a special chapter in the lead-up to Lali’s wedding to Pedro Rosemblat. In late August, Cande was one of the people responsible for organizing surprise plans for the singer’s bachelorette, with a trip to Rio de Janeiro alongside a group of friends.

Joining the escape were Mery del Cerro, Justina Bustos, Sol Jaite, and Morena FQ. During the stay, they explored different corners of the city, savored local cuisine, and shared days of rest and fun.

También disfrutaron de las playas y aprovecharon cada momento para tomarse fotografías y selfies espontáneas.

Far from a conventional celebration, the trip included various outings and proposals. According to Cande on a streaming program, the group visited gay bars and took part in LGBTQ+ parties.

One of the moments that generated the most impact was the look they chose for one of the celebrations: everyone wore black masks, while Lali stood out from the rest with a white version.

Uno de los momentos que más llamó la atención fue una salida nocturna en la que las amigas apostaron por una temática muy particular: todas lucieron máscaras estilo Playboy.

The gesture that confirmed the closeness between Lali and Cande

In recent hours, another detail came to light that put the friendship between the artists at the forefront: Candela Vetrano was one of the witnesses at Lali and Pedro’s wedding.

The choice did not go unnoticed by those who have followed the history of both since their beginnings on television. Twenty-three years after that first meeting in Rincón de Luz, Cande accompanied her friend at one of the most important moments of her life.

From sharing castings and recording sessions to celebrating a new chapter together, the story of Lali and Cande shows how a bond born in childhood can evolve into a friendship that endures through the years.
