Benjamín Vicuña's heartfelt account of distance from his children moves TV hosts

Argentine actor Benjamín Vicuña shared his emotional struggles with maintaining a daily connection with his younger children, Magnolia and Amancio, who have been living in Turkey with their mother, China Suárez, and stepfather Mauro Icardi for over a year. Speaking on the television show "PH, Podemos Hablar," Vicuña described the more than 14,000 kilometers separating him from his children as a difficult circumstance.

“

There are thousands of ways to be a father. Obviously, day-to-day is fundamental, and there have been times in my life when I worked a lot. But the situation today is that my children are more than 14,000 kilometers away, and I am very sure of the bond I have with them. That, no one can take away from me, the love.

He also addressed comments from his ex-partner suggesting his children call Suárez's current partner "dad."

Vicuña emphasized his commitment to quality time during his visits, which occur every two months. "I try in these adverse circumstances, because clearly it's not comfortable or nice, nor is it good or fair, to maintain daily contact. Now two months have passed, interspersed, but they were with me a lot, and I try to give them a lot of quality time, love, conversations," he said. He also noted that he avoids discussing adult issues or conflicts with his children.

His words resonated deeply with co-guests Lizy Tagliani and Pablo Giralt. Tagliani recalled the profound grief Vicuña and Pampita experienced with the death of their first child, Blanca, suggesting that Vicuña has learned to be a father through such experiences. "I think Benja learned to be a father; beyond the distance. When they went through what they went through. So I think distance for them and many other dads is a technical issue. That loves are much deeper," she said, visibly moved.

Sports commentator Pablo Giralt also expressed his respect and admiration, his voice breaking with emotion. "I have a lot of respect and admiration for Benja and for all the people who go through that circumstance. I take my hat off, it's unimaginable," Giralt commented, highlighting the profound empathy the actor's situation evoked.
