Lima, Peru – Actor Gabriel Calvo, known for his role in the 1997 television series “Torbellino,” has confirmed a new romantic relationship with María José Vigil Checa, also known as ‘Majo con Sabor,’ a chef and influencer. The confirmation comes after speculation sparked by photos of the pair entering Calvo’s apartment together. Calvo publicly acknowledged the relationship during his streaming program, stating, “I’m already letting it be known, I’m in love. And why not? That’s what it’s all about.” He later added a message for his partner, calling her “my lovely Majito, my girlfriend.”

For me, there is no age for love.” This new relationship marks a new chapter for Calvo, and has quickly become a topic of public interest in Peru.
The relationship comes after ‘Majo con Sabor’ publicly addressed the end of her previous relationship with Gino Assereto in August 2025. At the time, she refuted rumors of a reconciliation, explaining the breakup occurred when Assereto ended the relationship and subsequently blocked her on social media. “I’ve seen it on all the channels, radios, and newspapers that I’ve gotten back together with him, when that’s not the case,” she stated on Magaly TV La Firme. She admitted to being unsure of the reasons behind Assereto’s actions, stating, “I don’t recognize what bothered him, the jokes I make, I don’t know… I couldn’t give explanations.”
