I'm not going to hide because I'm not doing anything wrong
En el inicio de una relación que apenas cumple un mes, Ale Venturo y Rodrigo Cuba han dado pasos que muchas parejas tardan años en dar: las familias ya se conocen, ya se reúnen, ya se ponen apodos cariñosos. En una entrevista televisiva, la empresaria describió ese avance no como una decisión calculada, sino como algo que ocurrió con naturalidad, casi sin que nadie lo planificara. Hay en esa velocidad una pregunta silenciosa sobre lo que distingue la prisa del instinto, y sobre si la certeza puede llegar antes que el tiempo.
- Rodrigo Cuba llegó a recoger a Ale Venturo en su auto, pero no vino solo: su madre y su tía iban con él, convirtiendo una cita en una presentación familiar improvisada.
- El nombre de Cuba todavía carga el peso público del escándalo con Melissa Paredes, y él mismo le advirtió a Venturo que estar con él significaba exponerse a críticas y escrutinio.
- Lejos de ocultarse, Cuba le prometió que no la trataría como un secreto, una postura que Venturo describió como decisiva para su confianza en la relación.
- Las dos familias ya se han reunido, un hito que normalmente toma meses, y Venturo llama 'Tío Jorge' al padre de Cuba con una familiaridad que sugiere que el vínculo ya echó raíces.
- Lo que comenzó en diciembre como conversaciones privadas se ha convertido, en pocas semanas, en una relación pública con integración familiar y declaraciones en televisión nacional.
Ale Venturo apareció en televisión para hablar de algo que la tomó por sorpresa a ella misma: la rapidez con que las personas más cercanas a ella habían aceptado a Rodrigo Cuba. Frente a su amiga Natalie Vértiz en Estás en Todas, la empresaria contó que, con apenas un mes de relación oficial, las dos familias ya se habían conocido y se llevaban bien.
El primer encuentro con la familia de Cuba no fue planeado. Él fue a recogerla en su auto y llegó acompañado de su madre y su tía. Venturo recordó el momento con una mezcla de vergüenza y humor, pero lo que encontró al subirse al auto fue calidez. La madre de Cuba le pareció genuinamente afectuosa, y su padre, Jorge Cuba, conocido como Don Gato, le causó una impresión aún más profunda. 'Es muy chévere', dijo, señalando que ambos comparten un carácter similar y que los dos valoran la familia por encima de casi todo.
La relación había comenzado a mediados de diciembre, pero Cuba fue honesto desde el principio: le advirtió que su nombre todavía arrastraba la controversia de su separación de Melissa Paredes, y que estar con él implicaba exponerse. Sin embargo, le hizo una promesa clara: no la ocultaría, porque ni él ni ella tenían nada de qué avergonzarse. Esa franqueza, según Venturo, fue determinante.
Lo que la entrevista reveló fue el retrato de dos personas que se mueven con una confianza poco común en los primeros tramos de una relación, apostando por la visibilidad y la integración familiar antes de que el tiempo les diera permiso para hacerlo.
Ale Venturo sat down for her first television interview in months, and what she wanted to talk about was family. Across from her childhood friend Natalie Vértiz on the show Estás en Todas, the businesswoman opened up about something that surprised even her: how quickly the people closest to her had welcomed Rodrigo Cuba into their lives. They'd been officially together for a month. The families had already met, and by her account, they were getting along remarkably well.
The speed of it all still made her laugh when she thought back. Cuba had picked her up in his car one afternoon, but he hadn't come alone—his mother and aunt were with him. Venturo remembered the moment vividly: the embarrassment that flooded through her, the split-second calculation of whether to run or stay. She stayed. She got in the car. And what she found waiting for her was warmth. Cuba's mother struck her as genuinely kind, the kind of person who puts you at ease without trying. "His mom is really lovely, really affectionate," she told Vértiz, still glowing from the memory.
But it was Cuba's father, Jorge Cuba—known in the tabloids as Don Gato—who seemed to have made the deepest impression. The older man had been a steady presence throughout Cuba's recent turmoil with actress Melissa Paredes, standing by his son through the scandal. When Venturo met him, she found him disarming. "He's genuinely cool," she said. "His brother too. Everyone in that family is cool." She noted something else: that she and Jorge Cuba shared a similar temperament, both the type who value family above almost everything else. The two families had already gathered together, she revealed, a milestone that typically takes months to arrange, let alone accomplish.
The relationship itself had an unusual timeline. Venturo and Cuba had begun talking in mid-December, but they didn't go public until roughly a month before this interview. Cuba, to his credit, had been direct with her from the start. He'd warned her that she was walking into a minefield—that his name still carried the weight of his separation from Paredes, and that being seen with him would inevitably draw scrutiny and gossip. He'd made her a promise, though: he wouldn't hide. He wouldn't pretend the relationship didn't exist. "He told me, 'I'm not going to hide because I'm not doing anything wrong, and you're not someone to hide either,'" Venturo recalled. That directness, that refusal to treat her like a secret, seemed to matter to her more than the potential fallout.
What emerged from the interview was a portrait of two people moving with unusual confidence through the early stages of a relationship. The family integration, the public acknowledgment, the willingness to weather the inevitable criticism—these weren't the cautious steps of people testing the waters. They were the moves of people who had already decided something about each other. Whether that certainty would hold remained to be seen, but for now, Venturo seemed genuinely happy, and that was the story she wanted to tell.

La Conversación del Hearth Otra perspectiva de la historia
A month in, and both families are already gathering together. That's not typical. What do you think changed the timeline?
I think Rodrigo was honest with her from the beginning. He didn't pretend this would be easy or secret. He said, 'This is what you're getting into.' That kind of clarity can actually accelerate things—you're not building on a foundation of uncertainty.
She mentioned he warned her about the Melissa Paredes situation. Did that warning feel like a test, or more like a kindness?
A kindness, I'd say. He was giving her information she needed to make a real choice. Not hiding it, not downplaying it. That takes a certain kind of maturity, especially when you're the one who might look bad in the retelling.
His father made an impression on her. What do you think she saw in him?
Recognition, maybe. She said they're both very family-oriented people. When you meet someone's parent and you see yourself reflected back, that's a moment. It suggests the relationship might have deeper roots than just attraction.
The speed of all this—does it feel sustainable to you?
That's the question no one can answer yet. But I noticed she didn't sound defensive about it. She sounded genuinely surprised by how natural it felt. That's different from rushing.
