Amidst riots and protests over public spending cuts in Buenos Aires, libertarian populist Milei, 53, has announced the end of his relationship with actress Fatima Florez, 43. The pair were last seen together in Miami on Wednesday before Milei made the announcement on Saturday, citing conflicting schedules and professional commitments.
The publicized relationship between Milei and Florez began in July last year, drawing attention for its unconventional nature. Milei, known for his outspoken views on economics and politics, had openly expressed his love for Florez, an Argentinian actress and comedian.
In a statement posted on social media, Milei acknowledged Florez’s professional success, stating, “As a result of the overwhelming professional success that Fatima, of whom I am extremely proud, is experiencing, she has received numerous job offers to work both in the United States and in Europe.” He expressed pride in her achievements but noted that their busy schedules had put a strain on their relationship.
The announcement comes amidst a backdrop of social unrest in Buenos Aires, where protests erupted over public spending cuts in a country where nearly 40 percent of the population lives in poverty. The riots have highlighted broader economic and social challenges facing Argentina, adding a poignant context to Milei and Florez’s personal news.
Milei’s libertarian ideals and outspoken persona have often put him in the spotlight, and his relationship with Florez had been a subject of public interest. However, with their separation announced, attention now shifts to how both individuals will navigate their respective paths forward amidst changing personal and professional landscapes.
