And to think that she left Soffritti because she never wanted to be a mother.

Following the announcement, Molfese faced criticism online, with some users recalling her past relationship with actor Gastón Soffritti. Comments suggested she had ended their relationship because she did not want to become a mother. Molfese addressed these remarks directly, clarifying that the reason for the separation was not a general aversion to motherhood, but rather a difference in timing and readiness with Soffritti.

She explained that while Soffritti was ready to become a father, she felt she was not prepared at that time. Molfese stated that the separation was a mutual decision, initiated by her desire to end the relationship, though she acknowledged Soffritti had also suggested they talk. She emphasized that her previous stance was about not wanting to be a mother *at that specific time* with *him*, rather than a lifelong rejection of motherhood.

Molfese and Soffritti were together for three years before separating in May 2024. Her current relationship with Laviaguarre, which began about a year and a half ago, is now entering a new phase with the upcoming arrival of their child. The actress shared an ultrasound image and photos with her pets in her social media announcement, highlighting her joy and excitement for this new chapter.
