Romance Rumors Swirl Around Alejandro Sanz and Stephanie Cayo Amid South American Tour
Speculation is mounting regarding a possible romantic connection between Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz and Peruvian actress Stephanie Cayo, fueled by recent sightings during Sanz’s ongoing South American tour. Reports surfaced on February 24, 2026, alleging increasing closeness between the two, with images circulating that suggest a relationship beyond friendship. The reports originated with a segment on the Peruvian television program Magaly TV, La Firme, which presented images of Cayo accompanying Sanz at various events during his tour stops in Colombia and Ecuador. Sanz is currently in Peru, preparing for two sold-out concerts at the Estadio Nacional on February 25th and 26th.
The reports arrive as both Sanz and Cayo are reportedly single. Sanz ended his relationship with Spanish actress Candela Márquez in December 2025, while Cayo has been linked to both Spanish actor Maxi Iglesias and Mexican actor and producer Sebastián Zurita in recent years. This backdrop of singlehood has intensified the scrutiny surrounding their recent interactions, leading to questions about the nature of their relationship.
Recent Sightings Spark Speculation
The initial reports, as highlighted by Magaly TV, La Firme, focused on Cayo’s presence at Sanz’s concert at the Movistar Arena in Bogotá, Colombia, on February 14th. She was reportedly positioned in a VIP area, and photographs emerged showing her interacting with members of Sanz’s production team. Further fueling the rumors, images surfaced of Cayo and Sanz together in Ecuador, including a photograph of Sanz taking Cayo’s hand after a concert in Guayaquil. Stephanie Cayo also shared images from Plaza Lagos in Guayaquil on her social media, further indicating her proximity to the singer during his Ecuadorian performances, which took place on February 19th and 21st.
Estoy en Lima, una belleza. Nada me va a quitar esta paz y este amor que siento dentro por la suerte que tengo de disfrutar de esta gira. No me sacan de aquí. ❤️

Sanz himself acknowledged his enjoyment of being in Lima, Peru, via a post on X (formerly Twitter) on February 24th, stating, “Lima, a beauty. Nothing will take away this peace and love I feel inside for the luck I have to enjoy this tour. You won’t get me out of here.”
Past Connections and Denials
This isn’t the first time a potential romance between Sanz and Cayo has been suggested. In December 2023, a social media post featuring the pair enjoying a meal together sparked initial speculation. Sanz accompanied the image with a caption that read, “When emotions cannot be explained, that is the right place. The most beautiful and the purest.” However, Cayo quickly dismissed the rumors at the time, telling Europa Press, “Not at all, we are friends.”
The current wave of speculation, however, appears to be more substantial, given the repeated sightings of Cayo accompanying Sanz throughout his South American tour. The fact that she has been present at multiple concerts, and reportedly received special access, has led observers to believe that their relationship may have evolved beyond a simple friendship.
Sanz and Cayo: Recent Relationship Histories
Alejandro Sanz, a globally recognized artist with a career spanning decades, ended his relationship with Candela Márquez at the end of 2025. The split was reported by several Spanish media outlets, though details surrounding the separation remain limited.

The Question of a Developing Romance
While neither Sanz nor Cayo have publicly confirmed a romantic relationship, the evidence presented by Magaly TV, La Firme, and the subsequent media coverage, has ignited a firestorm of speculation. The program’s host, Magaly Medina, suggested that the images indicate a connection “beyond a simple friendship,” noting the intimacy of the hand-holding incident in Guayaquil. Whether this is the beginning of a new romance or simply a close friendship remains to be seen, but the story continues to develop as Sanz prepares for his concerts in Lima.
The upcoming concerts in Lima will undoubtedly be closely watched by fans and the media alike, as they may offer further clues about the nature of Sanz and Cayo’s relationship.
