Aída Victoria Merlano, the popular influencer from Barranquilla, has recently found herself at the center of controversy involving her ex-partner and the father of her child, Emiliano, Juan David Tejada. The situation escalated when Merlano responded to a comment on social media, asserting her sole responsibility for their child’s upbringing, while pointedly omitting any mention of Tejada.
This exchange ignited a heated debate among social media users, with many questioning the reasons behind the couple’s split. It has been speculated that their relationship ended due to alleged instances of violence on Tejada’s part shortly after the birth of their baby.
Adding fuel to the fire, Tejada recently stirred the pot again with a post on his Instagram account. In a video, he was seen singing the popular song “Se acabó” by Yeison Jiménez, which many interpreted as a veiled message aimed at Merlano. He captioned the post, “It’s over, and not precisely for the reasons she mentions.”
Tejada’s choice of lyrics, particularly the lines that talk about love’s pain and fidelity, led followers to believe he was subtly addressing his complicated history with Merlano. The lyrics included sentiments of resilience and moving on from a hurtful relationship, with the lines, “If it’s over, then it’s over. Why cry? Who died? I was faithful, but she wasn’t. In the end, it’s not me who lost.”
Merlano quickly responded to her ex’s post via her Instagram stories, expressing her fatigue over the ongoing situation. She remarked, “What a hassle [with emojis of a frog and a dog] If we organize outside Tigo, they’ll cut off the plan,” accompanied by a sound clip urging to “go to sleep.”
This ongoing drama not only highlights the difficulties that come with public relationships but also illustrates the complex dynamics between influencers and their personal lives. While the controversy continues to unfold, both Tejada and Merlano seem to be navigating this challenging period in the public eye, creating a narrative that draws significant attention online.
