Stephanie Cayo and the Spanish actor Not only did Maxi Iglesias attract public attention for their leading roles in “Until we meet again”, the first Peruvian film produced by Netflix, but also for falling in love in real life during the recordings of the tape in the sacred Inca citadel Machu Picchu.
Talented, successful and attractive, they all profiled the acting couple as one of the most beloved of the year. However, the Italian press speculated that they would have ended their love relationship because the Cayo family member is being romantically linked to the Turkish actor Kerem Bürsin.
Neither Stephanie nor Maxi have spoken out about these rumors, which is strange to many because they have not interacted on social networks since the big premiere of “Until We Meet Again”, a film directed by Bruno Ascenzo that was harshly criticized but which entered the Top 10 of the most watched films on the platform in more than 70 countries. Could it be that they really ended? This is his story.
HOW DID THEY MEET?
In mid-2021, it was rumored that Stephanie Cayo was in the process of divorce with Chad Campbell, who was her husband for 8 long years. The news was confirmed by the Peruvian actress five months later, stating that both decided to end their marriage at the beginning of that year. The reasons for the separation were never revealed.
In the midst of the pain of ending her marriage, Stephanie received good news in March: Reed Hasting, CEO of Netflix, announced that she would star in a Peruvian film produced by the streaming giant. His friend Bruno Ascenzo would be in charge of directing the film and would also act as cupid.
The 37-year-old Peruvian actor, screenwriter and director decided to choose Maxi Iglesias, a Spanish actor, to play the role of Salvador, Ariana's love interest (Stephanie Cayo). That's how they both met and traveled to Cusco to start the recordings.
INSTANT CHEMICAL
The Spaniard was not only amazed by Stephanie's beauty, but also by her personality. “It struck me a lot, because I was coming and asking everyone questions, while putting together their plate of food. And I said 'she's going to be my partner in the next few months. Oh, God, '” he commented in an interview for the production company Creativa Madrid.
For her part, Stephanie Cayo said she was impressed with the quality of person she had as a co-worker. “I met someone generous, an authentic guy, clear and direct, who tells you things as they are. And, to top it off, he has such a beautiful and sweet heart as I have seen in a few,” he declared for Tikitakas magazine.
About the first kiss they had as part of the film, they both pointed out that they were nervous and that it was a “disaster”. However, the one they did in real life turned out better than they expected.
“I was a little nervous and there was pisco at the scene, we drank and then the first kiss was a bit clumsy,” said Cayo. “The first kiss in the film was a disaster, and the first kiss we had was really good, really,” said the Spanish artist.
ROMANCE BROKE THROUGH THE SCREENS
In December 2021, Cayo confirmed what an open secret was: she was in love with Maxi Iglesias and that he was no longer a single co-worker, but her partner sentimental. Through her official Instagram account, the Peruvian actress confirmed the news with a tender post.
“Two children who act agree, on that and many other things. Recognizing each other, they love each other in the shady places feeding the soul with a beautiful friendship, and they touch their hearts with a love that does not require a single explanation. You're a gift, Maximilian. And the present is that. A gift”, was part of the message he shared along with a photo of him kissing Iglesias.
A few months later and with their newly released film, the actors continued to be just as happy and in love as they did at the beginning. However, the displays of affection ceased at the end of March 2022.
WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN STEPHANIE CAYO AND KEREM BÜRSIN?
Recently, the Italian press began to link the blonde actress with the protagonist of “Love is on the air”, a novel that was broadcast on Latina's signal. The rumors began with a photograph of both, believed to have been taken on the same day of their supposed meeting.
This came after the 34-year-old producer and model visited Spain to participate in a project with renowned Antonio Banderas. For her part, the Peruvian visited Madrid to celebrate her 34th birthday with her sister Fiorella Cayo, who has separated from her husband Miguel Labarthe.
As you know, April 8 was Stephanie Cayo's birthday and the actress did not hesitate to celebrate it in the European country. However, Maxi Iglesias was not with her on her special day, nor did she dedicate any message to the actress, as can be seen on her social networks.
It is worth mentioning that the international media pointed out that Kerem would already know the Cayo family. Neither side has come out to deny these rumors.
