Angélica Vale Confirms Divorce as Otto Padrón Files in L.A., Citing Irreconcilable Differences and Seeking Shared Custody

Vale’s surprise disclosure has shifted coverage to the petition’s terms under a 2011 prenup.

Overview

  • Court documents filed November 4 in Los Angeles show Padrón petitioning for divorce, with journalist Javier Ceriani displaying the paperwork publicly.
  • Vale said on her radio show that the couple has lived apart since April and that she learned of the filing during a dinner with Padrón and friends.
  • The filing references a prenuptial agreement signed in February 2011 that waives spousal support and notes separate property with no shared assets.
  • Padrón requests 50–50 custody of their two children, asks that Vale cover legal fees, and includes provisions for respectful communication and nondisparagement.
  • As speculation circulates online, Ceriani has urged an end to rumor-mongering, while Vale’s mother, Angélica María, posted a supportive video for her daughter’s 50th birthday.
