After nearly four years together, Aitana Ocana, then 23, and Miguel Bernardeau, 26, decided to go their separate ways. The glossy weekly Lecturas picks up the story on its front page this Wednesday, reporting what insiders describe as a definitive split for one of the most watched couples on the national scene. According to the magazine’s sources, the actor left the singer’s home after cohabiting there for a period and has since been living with his own family, moving back to an arrangement that began in September 2021. The revelation also notes that actress Ana Duato, aged 54, and television producer Michelangelo Bernardeau, 62, are in the actor’s orbit again, as part of the broader network surrounding the couple.
As illustrated by the publication, the actor does not hold the keys to Aitana’s residence and is seen outside the home where the two once shared life. Visuals indicate moments where he rings the bell, hoping to gain entry or retrieve belongings, while the singer appears unsettled during visits to gather her personal effects. The home is reported to be in close proximity to the Bernardeau family residence, underscoring how entwined the two families’ lives have been throughout the relationship.
Lecturas mentions Ana Duato’s presence as a significant source of support for Miguel during the tough period.
The breakup coincides with a pivotal moment in both artists’ professional trajectories, especially since a major project featuring Aitana had recently premiered. Disney Plus introduced The Last One, marking Aitana’s debut in acting within a series in which she partners with co-stars to explore the challenges and triumphs of pursuing ambitious dreams. The magazine frames this drama as a factor that contributed to the strain in the relationship, suggesting that the demands of the new role and the emotional toll of the production played a part in the separation.
Reports suggest that the tension between the couple intensified since May of the previous year. Aitana’s professional calendar, including many commitments tied to her music career, began to demand more of her time, while Miguel’s focus on acting projects required equal attention. A former partner is quoted as noting that these shifts affected both partners, influencing the dynamics of their collaboration and their shared life.
Dialogue about their relationship during the shooting of projects is described as strained, according to the publication, hinting at a broader pattern of friction that may have contributed to the final decision to part ways.
The journey of their romance began in 2018, a time marked by the surge of interest around Operación Triunfo, where Aitana finished in second place, and the global spotlight that Netflix’s Elite offered Miguel. Their story, once celebrated as a modern fairytale of two rising stars from adjacent worlds, now arrives at a different chapter, inviting fans to witness the realities that come with balancing fame, personal life, and professional ambitions in the public eye.
