In mid-August, Alessandra Rosaldo noted that the family would not comment on the relationship status until an official announcement was made, citing Derbez’s work commitments in Spain. Paola Dalay subsequently clarified that the couple was experiencing physical distance due to their respective professional projects in Spain and Mexico.
