Argentine model Eva Bargiela has broken her silence following controversial remarks made by her ex-husband, politician Facundo Moyano, who publicly criticized their past marriage and claimed the title of “wife” was too big for her. Speaking directly to the media on the program Sálvese Quien Pueda on América TV, Bargiela addressed the comments with composure, choosing to distance herself from her ex-partner while maintaining a firm boundary regarding her personal life, as reported by outlets covering the ongoing public dispute.
The controversy unfolded after Moyano gave a series of television interviews, including an appearance on Telefe’s A la Barbarossa, following an incident on August 4 involving his current partner, Candela Arizaga, which resulted in brief police detention and widespread media attention. During his media tour, Moyano made disparaging remarks about his past relationships, specifically targeting Bargiela and asserting that women he had been with only stayed for financial or public relations reasons.
Responding to those assertions, Bargiela made it clear that she had not watched the statements firsthand, telling interviewers that she refuses to engage in a media feud during a difficult period for her ex-husband. “Look, I know he is going through a bad time, and it is not my style to kick someone when they are down. To clean myself, I don’t need to throw dirt at anyone,” Bargiela stated during her appearance on Sálvese Quien Pueda, according to broadcast transcriptions.
Eva Bargiela Responds to Past Relationship Claims and Economic Rumors
During the television interview, the model defended her conduct throughout their marriage, emphasizing her commitment to being a supportive partner. “In all my relationships I was always a very good partner; obviously I must have had my mistakes like everyone else, but I always tried to be the best companion possible,” she said. When asked if the sentiment was mutual, she added that she was uncertain what the other side might say, but reiterated her total lack of interest in revisiting the relationship.
Bargiela also addressed lingering public questions regarding her financial situation following their separation, specifically confronting past claims made by panelist Yanina Latorre suggesting the model had been left with nothing after the divorce. Bargiela called the topic uncomfortable and asserted that public perception covers only a fraction of the reality. “People think they know everything that happened in that relationship, and the truth is that not even 1% is known,” she explained, noting that matters concerning their separation had previously been addressed through her legal representation.
Reflecting on the emotional toll of the public breakup, Bargiela acknowledged that the period immediately following their split was exceptionally difficult. “I had a very hard time; I mean, that was in plain sight at the time, it’s not like I’m telling you news. But thank God, life put me on my path,” she noted, pointing to her positive current circumstances.
Focusing on a New Family and Current Projects
Emphasizing a clear separation from her past marriage, Bargiela redirected the conversation toward her current personal and professional stability. Speaking to reporters from Intrusos on América TV and additional entertainment outlets, she stressed that dwelling on her ex-husband’s remarks would amount to disrespecting her current family and her new life. “I feel it is even a disrespect to my family, my partner. I mean, I have an incredible man by my side who makes me very happy, I have a healthy baby. So, all of that doesn’t interest me to begin with,” she said.
The model highlighted her active professional schedule, including her work on the streaming channel La Casa on the program Que alguien le avise, noting that she remains busy and focused on her career. “I am very happy, with a lot of work. In fact, well, I am a bit rushed because I have to go to another job now. So nothing, that’s how I am with a very nice present,” she concluded.
Judicial Restrictions Remain in Place for Facundo Moyano
While Bargiela continues to distance herself from the media cycle surrounding her ex-husband, legal developments continue to unfold in Buenos Aires regarding Moyano’s current personal situation. According to reports shared by journalist Pampa Mónaco on the eltrece program La Mañana con Moria, the City’s Gender Prosecutor’s Office officially rejected a request filed by Moyano’s defense team to lift a restraining order involving Candela Arizaga.
The judicial restriction, which requires Moyano to maintain a minimum distance of 300 meters from Arizaga, will remain fully active as the prosecution advances its investigation. Legal authorities indicated that several evidentiary measures, including a mandatory psychological evaluation, remain pending before any modification to the protective measures can be evaluated by the court.
