The morning segments on *Hoy Día* about relationships have become one of the show’s most popular features. In each episode, the hosts share personal experiences about marriage, living together, and raising children, sparking conversations that many viewers can relate to.
On this occasion, one of the moments that drew the most attention was the appearance of Ana Patricia Gámez, who has recently joined the Telemundo show. The host spoke with complete honesty about one of the most difficult periods of her personal life, amid her ongoing divorce proceedings with Luis Carlos Martínez, the father of her two children.
Although the breakup has been a topic of interest in recent months, Ana Patricia took the opportunity during the conversation to share some thoughts on how certain everyday habits can end up affecting a couple’s relationship.
Sleeping Apart: A Decision That Shaped Ana Patricia Gámez’s Marriage
The topic came up when the hosts were discussing the custom of sleeping with young children and the impact this practice can have on parents’ relationships.
Without beating around the bush, Ana Patricia revealed that for several years, that was exactly how things were in her home.
“I lived in the same house, but in separate rooms,” he told his classmates.
She later explained that she slept next to her daughter, while her then-husband slept with their son.
“I slept with my daughter almost my whole life, and he slept with the boy,” she confessed.
Her words sparked a conversation about how, in many families, parenting responsibilities end up changing the dynamics of a couple’s relationship, sometimes without either partner being fully aware of it.
Host Penélope Menchaca took the opportunity to ask him a question that many viewers were probably also wondering about.
He asked her if she thought that decision to sleep separately was a result of problems that already existed in their relationship.
Ana Patricia’s response was forceful.
“Definitely, absolutely,” she replied, acknowledging that the situation reflected a rift that had already taken hold in her marriage.
However, she clarified that her intention was not to focus solely on her personal experience, but rather to use this opportunity to reflect on an issue that affects many couples when they have children.
As he explained, it’s natural for parents to want to spend more time with their young children during the early years, but he also believes it’s important not to lose sight of their relationship as a couple.
He also spoke about his current situation
During the conversation, Ana Patricia referred, with her characteristic sense of humor, to the situation she is currently going through after filing for divorce.
The host noted that financial circumstances often force people to make practical decisions even when a relationship is no longer working out.
“Getting back to the topic we were discussing, the economy isn’t in a position to pay two rents. Look, I pay the mortgage and one rent. I’m tough, as Venezuelans say,” she said with a laugh, prompting a reaction from her fellow panelists.
Despite his relaxed tone, his words revealed some of the challenges he faces as he continues to work through the legal aspects of his separation.
At the end of the conversation, Ana Patricia wanted to share a thought with those who are experiencing problems in their relationships.
For the host, prolonging a living arrangement that no longer works can end up causing even greater conflicts.
“If it doesn’t work out, then they break up. Otherwise, you just end up in more trouble!” she said with a smile, maintaining her characteristic optimism despite the personal challenges she’s facing.
Her comments were widely discussed on social media, where many followers praised the sincerity with which she spoke about such an intimate experience. Many women sent her messages of support and thanked her for using a television platform to share a reality that, they say, many families experience, demonstrating that even in the midst of difficulties, it is possible to speak honestly and find the strength to move forward.
