Benicio, the son of the late Argentine television host Ernestina Pais, has shared a poignant moment from his mother's funeral, posting a selfie with actress Rocío Igarzábal. The photo, taken during the wake held on June 28, shows Benicio with a slight smile while Igarzábal blows a kiss to the camera, capturing a tender connection between the two.

This glimpse into his private grief comes as Benicio has chosen to publicly share memories of his mother in the 12 days following her passing. He has expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from his mother's friends, colleagues, and fans, accompanying his thanks with photos and heartfelt messages.

Igarzábal had become a significant figure in Ernestina Pais's life, particularly during their collaboration on the stage production "El divorcio del año." Their professional relationship blossomed into a deep friendship, a bond that Igarzábal poignantly expressed in a message shared shortly after Pais's death.

"I want to believe this isn't true. Friend, I called you. I called you a thousand times," Igarzábal wrote on Instagram. "I felt happiness knowing that you were going to be my friend for many years. We knew this was forever. And it is. Ernes, we have a thousand desserts left to try. I love you infinitely. I will miss you every day."
