Two years after Selva Alemán’s death, Arturo Puig says: “I cannot accept not having you by my side”

Arturo Puig remembered Selva Alemán two years after her death with a series of photographs spanning the actress’s life and career.

In one image, showing Alemán early in her career, Puig wrote: “Two years without you, my life, my soul, my everything. I cannot accept not having you by my side.” He also shared a photograph of Alemán in adulthood and a Christmas image of the couple together when they were young.

The tribute drew messages from fellow entertainment figures. Georgina Barbarossa responded with heart emojis, Graciela Borges wrote “dear Selva,” and Eleonora Wexler posted a heart.

Two years without you, my life, my soul, my everything. I cannot accept not having you by my side.

Alemán died at 80 on September 3, 2024. She had reportedly been in good health before feeling unwell that morning and requesting a doctor at home. Later that day, Puig accompanied her to Clínica Zabala. She arrived in good condition and cooperated during the examination, but suffered a massive heart attack minutes later and could not be revived.

In a December 2025 radio interview, Puig said Alemán died when their relationship was at its happiest. The couple had been enjoying the success of a theater production they starred in and had planned a trip to Italy, a country they loved. Puig also said she had been treated for arrhythmia and suggested that the first doctor who examined her may have made an error, after doctors who saw her later reportedly discussed how heart attacks in women can present with stomach pain.
