Dayan Murillo and Iván Núñez Romance Details
- Dayan Murillo confirmed to Canal 13’s Alfombra Roja that her relationship with Iván Núñez began in August, marking three months together.
- The model said that the age difference does not matter as long as there is mutual respect and care, while Núñez turned 56 in May.
- The romance confirmation sparked comments from Núñez’s ex-partners, including Thais Jordão and Marlene de la Fuente, as reported by ADN Radio.
Confirming the Three-Month Romance
The relationship between the Colombian model and the television journalist came to light after media appearances and a social media confirmation by the news anchor. Dayan Murillo spoke about the romance for the first time with Canal 13’s entertainment program, detailing how the dynamic works behind closed doors.
“Sí, estoy recién empezando la relación (…) Llevamos como tres mesecitos apenas”, confirmed Murillo, as detailed by Canal 13. She added that the public persona of the news anchor differs significantly from his home life.
“En redes sociales conocen al Iván. Yo conozco al Leonardo, que es como… dentro de casa, más amoroso, más tierno”, confided Dayan Murillo to Alfombra Roja, as reported by La Hora.
The relationship follows Núñez’s period of being single after his separation from Brazilian designer Thais Jordão. The news anchor confirmed the bond himself on Instagram by sharing a photograph with Murillo, accompanied by the caption: “No necesitan paparazzear. No hay nada que esconder”, according to m360.cl.
Murillo Prioritizes Emotional Support over Age Gap
Murillo also addressed public commentary regarding the age gap between her and Núñez, who celebrated his 56th birthday in May. She dismissed the focus on numbers, prioritizing emotional support and mutual respect in the partnership.
“El tema de la edad, hoy en día, es lo último. Después de que tú estás con una persona que te respete, que te de cariño, que te de amor y que siempre te esté apoyando… lo demás no importa”, expressed Murillo.
Beyond public perception, the model said that she has already integrated into her partner’s immediate family circle. She shared that she met his mother, sister, and eldest son during this initial phase of the relationship.
“La familia es un amor. Son demasiado tiernos conmigo y me recibieron con los brazos abiertos, que es lo más importante”, affirmed Murillo.
Reactions From Former Partners
The public confirmation of the timeline generated responses from Núñez’s past relationships. Thais Jordão spoke to ADN Radio regarding the chronology of events, claiming the journalist had attempted to contact her during national holidays in September.
“En las fiestas patrias del jardín de mi hijo él me vino a querer sonar mi espalda. Encuentro que Iván no tiene límites, yo le he rechazado todas las veces que ha intentado acercarse porque se murió la flor del amor hace mucho”, said Thais Jordão.
Meanwhile, Marlene de la Fuente, the journalist’s ex-wife, offered a different perspective on the new romance to ADN Radio, emphasizing her focus on her personal life and the upbringing of their children.
“Me parece genial que él rehaga su vida y que esté tranquilo y está perfecto. Mi tema fue con la chica que él tuvo, el tiempo pasa, la vida es maravillosa, yo ahora no tengo ningún tema con ellas ahora”, declared Marlene de la Fuente.
