Nearly two years after their relationship ended, Argentine journalists Sofi Martínez and Diego Leuco unexpectedly crossed paths at a public event, sparking attention on social media. The pair, who were once a prominent couple, met at the inauguration of a new Clutch venue, a project linked to basketball and urban culture, in Vicente López.

I don't think we're ready to be friends yet.

— Sofi MartínezMartínez speaking about her relationship with Leuco in June.

Far from showing any awkwardness, Martínez and Leuco appeared relaxed. They were observed engaging in conversation, sharing laughter, and ultimately exchanging a warm hug. The encounter took place during an exhibition basketball game that also featured figures like Duki and Facundo Campazzo, with Martínez and Leuco on opposing teams.

The most talked-about moment, however, occurred off the court. A spectator captured video of the former couple in a private conversation, appearing at ease and smiling. The footage quickly went viral, evoking nostalgia among those who followed their romance. Social media users expressed a desire for their reconciliation, with some humorously joining the conversation.

I still sometimes doubt what to do with a certain job, and he knows me very well and knew the industry even better. I used to rely on him a lot for those things.

— Sofi MartínezMartínez explaining her continued reliance on Leuco for career advice.

This reunion gained particular significance due to Martínez's earlier comments in June. Speaking on the program "Hay amor," she reflected on their past relationship, the reasons for their separation, and the bond they maintained. "I don't think we're ready to be friends yet," she admitted, while also acknowledging the lingering impulse to seek his advice, especially regarding career decisions, due to his deep understanding of her and the industry. She noted that losing that trusted confidant was one of the most felt consequences of their breakup.

I felt a bit lame during this time and would write to him.
