Recent speculation in Chilean media suggested footballer Arturo Vidal pays approximately 50 million pesos in monthly child support. Now, his former partner, Marité Matus, has addressed these reports directly, clarifying the financial arrangements and offering insight into their co-parenting relationship. The discussion surrounding child support payments from Vidal comes as Matus navigates a public split from another partner and reflects on her evolving dynamic with the athlete.
In a recent conversation with LUN, Matus refuted the reported figure, stating, “I deny it. He cares about his children, I receive help from him, but all the other expenses for the things I enjoy, all of that is mine.” This statement aims to dispel rumors about the extent of financial support received from Vidal, emphasizing her financial independence alongside the contributions he makes to their children’s well-being. The clarification comes amid increased public interest in the personal lives of Chilean celebrities.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Matus described a positive and ongoing connection with Vidal, particularly concerning their children. The pair recently collaborated on a business venture, launching the clothing line “AV Streetwear,” which provided a context for discussing their amicable relationship. “He’s always been there. He’s always been attentive to his children and also to me in what corresponds. When he had to be more present, he was more present. I value that a lot,” Matus explained. She further described Vidal as her “best friend,” expressing admiration and a commitment to maintaining a healthy co-parenting dynamic for their three children. Marité Matus’s Instagram profile showcases her life and family, with over 742,000 followers.
Matus also addressed the recent and highly publicized end of her relationship with Camilo Huerta. She revealed she felt compelled to speak out due to “threats and insults” she had received, as well as a desire to support her friend, Gissella Gallardo, who she felt had been unfairly targeted. According to Matus, the relationship began to deteriorate when Huerta’s work habits changed after they began living together. “Everything changed. Camilo went to work three times a week. I would arrive home after taking my children to school, doing my things, and he was in bed. With three children, I’m not in bed all day, I couldn’t be, I had to work. So seeing him in bed bothered me a lot,” she stated.
The businesswoman’s decision to publicly address the breakdown of her relationship with Huerta highlights the challenges of navigating personal life under public scrutiny. An exclusive interview with Marité Matus in LUN provides further details on these events. The interview, published two days ago, has generated significant discussion on social media platforms like Facebook, and TikTok. A TikTok video featuring commentary on the interview has garnered considerable attention.
Matus’s statements offer a glimpse into the complexities of co-parenting, navigating public perception, and maintaining personal boundaries. The ongoing conversation surrounding her relationships and financial arrangements underscores the intense public interest in the lives of Chilean celebrities.
As Matus continues to build her business ventures and navigate her personal life, it remains to be seen how her relationship with Vidal will evolve and how she will address future challenges in the public eye. The focus will likely remain on her commitment to her children and her efforts to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship.
