Reality television personality Gino Assereto has publicly addressed rumors of a romantic relationship with TikToker Valentino Palacios, firmly denying the claims after a video circulated online sparked speculation. The denial comes after Assereto’s brother, Jota Benz, seemingly confirmed the relationship in public statements, adding fuel to the fire.
The controversy began with a video shared by Palacios featuring Assereto, interpreted by many as a romantic outing. This led to widespread discussion and prompted Jota Benz to comment on the situation, stating, “It’s nice, isn’t it? Gino separates from Majo and they both have found love,” referencing Assereto’s recent split from Majo with Sabor. Benz further remarked on Palacios’ “spectacular curls,” adding a lighthearted tone to the confirmation.
However, Assereto has now moved to clarify the situation, stating he is taking the decision to “cut this joke” for his own peace of mind. The statement, reported by multiple Peruvian media outlets, signals a desire to end the speculation and distance himself from the narrative that had begun to develop.
Viral Video Ignites Speculation
The initial buzz surrounding a potential romance between Assereto and Palacios stemmed from a video posted by the TikToker. The clip showed Palacios sharing a suggestive phrase, followed by scenes with Assereto, leading many to believe it was a hint at a developing relationship. This followed earlier coquetting and joking between the two on the reality show Esto es Guerra, where both appear. During a competition on the show, Palacios was reportedly made nervous by a question from fellow contestant Patricio Parodi, further adding to the intrigue.
Brother’s Comments Add to Confusion
Jota Benz’s initial comments, as reported by Infobae, appeared to confirm a relationship. He stated, “If my brother is happy, that’s what matters,” and playfully compared the situation to his sister-in-law, Majo, finding love with someone significantly older. His remarks were widely circulated and contributed to the belief that Assereto and Palacios were indeed a couple.
Valentino Responds to Assereto’s Statement
Following Assereto’s denial, Valentino Palacios reportedly made a request, according to El Popular. Details of the request were not immediately available, but it suggests Palacios is responding to Assereto’s attempt to clarify the nature of their relationship. Palacios had previously shared private chats with Assereto, as reported by ATV, further fueling the speculation.
Jazmín Pinedo Weighs In
Television personality Jazmín Pinedo also commented on the situation, stating she spoke with Assereto about the video and that he seemed receptive to the attention. According to La República, Pinedo said Assereto “really likes” the attention he’s been receiving.
As Gino Assereto attempts to quell the rumors, the situation remains fluid. It remains to be seen how Valentino Palacios will respond to Assereto’s denial and whether further clarification will be offered by either party. The public’s continued interest in the pair suggests this story will likely continue to develop in the coming days.
