Karla Constant has directly addressed swirling rumors of a romantic relationship with fellow television personality Sergio Lagos. The clarification came during a recent appearance on the program Hay que decirlo, where Constant, filling in as a host, was directly questioned about the speculation. The rumors gained traction following Lagos’ recent separation from singer Nicole after a 20-year partnership, prompting increased public interest in his personal life.
Constant initially addressed the rumors in a statement released on Tuesday to Que te lo digo, but felt compelled to offer a more definitive response on live television. The questioning, led by Manuel González, centered not only on a potential relationship with Lagos but too on unconfirmed reports linking Constant to a prominent businessman. This latest development underscores the intense scrutiny faced by public figures navigating personal matters under the spotlight of Chilean entertainment news.
Responding to Speculation and Protecting Privacy
During the broadcast, González posed the direct question: “What is true about what has been speculated this weekend that you would have an affair with an crucial businessman in this country, and, with your reality show partner, Sergio Lagos?” Constant responded by acknowledging the sensitivity of the situation, particularly given Lagos’ recent split. She emphasized her respect for his privacy and the difficulty of navigating a separation after such a long relationship. “I have been asked a lot, and I have not commented on anything because I understand that the context is painful for my partner,” Constant explained, referencing the challenges Lagos is currently facing.
Constant was firm in her denial of any romantic involvement. “I didn’t want to talk about anything regarding all the rumors because I thought it was giving them more [attention],” she stated. She reiterated her long-standing friendship with Lagos, clarifying, “He is my partner and friend of many years.” She stressed her desire to position an end to the speculation, stating, “The truth is that I have no romance, but I did not want to grant more statements because I did not think it was worth it.” Constant added, “I want to clarify this because I don’t want them to continue with this story, do you understand, Manu? I’m not saying it in a serious tone or anything, but I want you to understand that sometimes, with those kinds of statements, you add fuel to the fire. I want to be very blunt.”
Context of the Rumors and Previous Statements
The rumors initially surfaced on Sunday during an episode of Primer Plano, according to reports. Constant’s initial statement to Que te lo digo, released earlier in the week, had been more general, stating, “People listen, think and talk about what they want,” but she felt a more direct response was necessary to quell the ongoing speculation. The situation is particularly delicate given the recent end of Lagos’ two-decade relationship with Nicole, a well-known singer in Chile. BioBioChile reported on Constant’s firm denial on Thursday, February 19, 2026.
When pressed about the alleged relationship with the unnamed businessman, Constant remained evasive, choosing not to delve into further details. This decision aligns with her overall approach of minimizing discussion surrounding the rumors and prioritizing the privacy of those involved. La Cuarta detailed the exchange, noting Constant’s desire to avoid adding “fuel to the fire” with further commentary.
What’s Next for Constant and Lagos
As of today, February 19, 2026, Constant has made a clear and definitive statement denying any romantic involvement with Sergio Lagos or any other individual. The focus now shifts back to their professional endeavors, with Constant continuing her role as a television host and Lagos navigating his personal life following his separation. It remains to be seen whether the rumors will continue to circulate, but Constant has expressed her hope that her statements will put the matter to rest.
