Portuguese presenter and DJ Merche Romero is navigating a period of personal upheaval following the recent death of her brother, Oscar Romero and has confirmed her separation from her husband, Fábio Pinto.
The news comes as Romero, 49, is reportedly focusing on her 14-year-old son, António, and maintaining a more private life. According to reports, the split is a recent development.
Oscar Romero, a singer, passed away on January 4, 2026, after suffering a heart attack while in Spain preparing a new project. Merche Romero publicly mourned her brother, sharing his 2009 song “Tu Retrato” on social media as a tribute to their close relationship.
The loss has clearly had a profound impact on Romero, who recently opened up about a cruel message she received on the day of her brother’s death. She discussed the hurtful communication on January 21, 2026, during an appearance on the “Bom dia Alegria” program, marking her first time speaking about the incident on television. Details of the message were not disclosed.
Romero’s experience highlights the challenges public figures face in navigating grief and personal loss while under public scrutiny. The presenter has not yet commented further on the separation.
