Brenda Asnicar has revisited her nearly forgotten romance with football star Carlos Tévez, sharing intimate details about the relationship's difficulties.

Speaking on the podcast "Nada que ocultar," hosted by drag queen Lady Nada, Asnicar, now an actress and singer, reflected on the complex and painful elements of her 2010 relationship with Tévez. The couple's romance captivated local and international entertainment news when Tévez was a prominent player for Manchester City and the Argentine national team, while Asnicar was a rising star known for her role in the teen series "Patito Feo."

The relationship began with text messages initiated by Tévez. Their romance included secret getaways and public outings, but the intense media attention took a significant emotional toll on Asnicar, who was only 17 when they first connected, while Tévez was around 26.

Asnicar expressed hurt that Tévez did not defend her against public judgment. She specifically addressed rumors that Tévez had gifted her family home, clarifying that she had purchased it with her own earnings from a young age. She lamented that the media focused on her boyfriend's supposed generosity rather than celebrating her own professional achievements and ability to support her family.
