Erika Manrique Denies Romance After TV Footage Links Her to Federico Salazar

Fresh denials underscore how tabloid footage leaves the story unresolved.

Overview

  • Magaly TV, in a Wednesday broadcast, showed Federico Salazar arriving at Erika Manrique’s home and greeting her, then aired neighbor and friend accounts that described frequent visits.
  • Salazar denied a relationship and said he is “like a monk,” calling Manrique a longtime friend who invited him to lunch at her house, and he asked that his ex-partner and children be left alone.
  • In a new interview, Manrique said she loves Salazar “like a brother,” rejected any romance, and said she has a boyfriend in Italy.
  • The show also featured witnesses who said Manrique arrived with a younger man at a March 29 party and was seen kissing him, two days before the images with Salazar were recorded.
  • Host Magaly Medina questioned why, if Manrique was such a friend, Katia Condos did not know her, underscoring the clash of accounts and the family’s push for privacy.
