Argentine actor Facundo Arana, a mainstay of Latin American television, is facing a scandal as news breaks of his separation from wife María Susini after two decades together. The split, which comes after 19 years of marriage and three children, initially appeared amicable, but new allegations are surfacing that paint a different picture.
The news first broke on January 23, 2026, via Argentine media outlet LAM, where journalist Ángel de Brito initially reported the separation as a mutual decision stemming from a common marital weariness. However, reports are now alleging infidelity on Arana’s part.
According to circulating rumors, Arana allegedly had an affair with actress Gabriela Sari. The speculation began following a series of interactions between the two actors on social media, which quickly raised eyebrows. This development has reportedly led Susini to step back from a potential hosting opportunity.
Facundo Ventura, appearing on Moria Casán’s program, revealed that Susini declined a chance to host “Estrella de Mar.” “I was told they had met with María Susini to have her host. She was even willing to do it for free,” Ventura said. “But once everything came to light, she backed out. It has to do with the sentimental side. She had just separated and Gabriela Sari was involved. She didn’t seek to be in an uncomfortable situation. They were talking before the separation exploded. She said, ‘I’m not going to put myself in an awkward position.’ I’m told that, in addition to backing out, she spent the entire night crossing paths with Facundo Arana and Gabriela Sari.”
