The whispers had been swirling, but now we finally have the real story. Luca Onestini recently stepped into the spotlight on Telemundo’s La Mesa Caliente. There, the Italian star confirmed what many suspected: his romance with Venezuelan model Aleska Génesis is over. But he was quick to say there’s no bad blood. No hard feelings. Just a simple, tough truth. "We realized we are very different," he explained.
Luca, who is 32, seemed touched as he spoke about the split. He made it clear that breaking up was a mature choice they both made. "I care for her a lot, so much," he confessed. "I still love her, that’s just how it is. My heart isn’t something you can just switch off."
Aleska, 33, had previously mentioned they were taking a break. Her reason? The distance between them, with him in Italy and her in Miami. But Luca offered a different view during the live chat. "For me, a relationship is either all in or nothing," he stated plainly. "So we’re not together. We had already agreed we weren’t a couple, even if she said something else."
Luca strongly shot down rumors of cheating during the conversation. "I’ve read about betrayals, but that’s all false," he said. "She never cheated on me. I never cheated on her. We had some amazing times." He was talking about their recent trip to Capri, Italy. Some gossip suggested an argument there ended their relationship. But Luca cleared that up too.
"Nothing bad happened in Capri; we had great days," he insisted. "There’s a lot of wrong information out there." He even joked about another rumor. "I didn’t show up in a rubber boat like James Bond," he quipped, denying he arrived on the island by surprise.
Even though they still care for each other, Luca was clear about their future. "We decided to disconnect, each going our separate way," he stated. "I’m moving my life away from Aleska’s. I wish her the very best, but I also deserve what’s best for me." Just a few days earlier, Aleska had been a guest on Telemundo’s Hoy Día. She addressed breakup rumors by saying, "It’s not that we’ve broken up… Luca and I have had a spectacular relationship… we simply took a break, some space, some time."
What’s Next for Luca Onestini?
While Luca seemed open to possibly getting back together someday, his focus right now is on his career. The former contestant from La Casa de los Famosos All-Stars was recently announced as a co-host for the show En Casa con Telemundo. This makes him the first man to hold that role. Plus, he’s busy promoting his brand new song, "Picolina."
When it comes to his love life, Onestini made it clear he still believes in finding someone special. "I’m not looking to be a playboy," he said. "If I meet a girl I like, I want to give it a real shot. I believe in marriage."
At the end of his interview, he sent a direct message to Aleska. "I love you, you already know that," he said sincerely. "I’m here clearing up all the silly things said about us lately. I know you do the same for me, and that you love me too."
Luca and Aleska’s story has ended, at least for now. But their respect and admiration for each other remain strong. It’s a clear lesson in mature love, even when everyone is watching.
