Aless Gibaja Returns to Television with a Resurgent Reality Run
Aless Gibaja is stepping back onto the TV screen with a notable comeback as a contestant on a Mediaset reality program. The social media influencer had taken a long hiatus from the spotlight, but now resurfaces prominently in Telecinco’s new venture, In Search of Nirvana.
This isn’t Gibaja’s first reality show appearance. The Madrid-born creator previously featured on the fifth edition of Big Brother VIP, sharing moments with familiar TV personalities such as Ivone Reyes, Irma Soriano, Toño Sanchís, Emma Ozores, Daniela Blume, and The Guardian. The season ultimately crowned Alyson Eckman as the winner.
Beyond reality formats, Gibaja has contributed as a collaborator on several network programs, including Late Night and Talk to Them, broadening his presence across television and digital platforms.
During Telecinco’s premiere, Gibaja unveiled a new chapter in his career: a digital audio project that opened up about a troubling incident. He disclosed a challenging past experience: a difficult run-in with a Puerto Rican prison system.
“They’re inviting me to be a guest at a party in Puerto Rico as a ‘superstar,’” Gibaja revealed. The episode that sparked discussion occurred at airport security, where officials questioned his visa status and reportedly stated that a work visa was required for the United States. He recalls the moment as a harsh misunderstanding: “They told me I was wrong.” He described an ensuing two-day detention, observing the variety of people who were detained, including those who were not involved in the alleged crimes. The incident became a powerful anecdote rather than a defining event, and two days later he was released from custody.
Her Public Rift with Oriana Marzoli
Gibaja’s career is marked by a well-known friendship turned fraught rivalry with Oriana Marzoli. The two forged a close bond over years, but a turning night changed everything. The story unfolded on the Mtmad channel, where Gibaja explained a clash that led him to expect Marzoli’s defense during a night out. He described feeling let down, stating, “It pushed us a little bit apart.” The video also covers his view of their current relationship, which remains tense and distant.
From Gibaja’s perspective, the sequence of events involved a nightclub altercation in which he felt unsupported after he defended another woman he believed was in the right. He summarized the fallout by saying, “We never got back together.”
After a period of trying to reconcile, Marzoli claims that repeated attempts to meet were met with excuses about busy schedules. The tension lingered as both sides continued to share their stories in public forums. More recently, Gibaja publicly commented on the situation with Oriana during Emma García’s show, recounting that Oriana had insulted and disrespected him, and accusing her of even making negative, personal remarks. The exchange left viewers wondering whether Oriana might appear on the same reality program as Gibaja in the future, given the ongoing public intrigue around their relationship.
As Gibaja navigates this season, fans and followers remain curious about how the evolving dynamic with Oriana Marzoli might influence his role on the new Telecinco project. The blend of personal history and on-camera performance promises to keep audiences engaged as the show progresses, with both figures offering perspectives that fans will be eager to compare in real time.
