J Balvin’s Model Girlfriend Valentina Ferrer Announces Split After Nearly 10 Years: ‘Separate Paths’

Ferrer said the breakup was made from love and respect, and the former couple will keep prioritizing their 5-year-old son, Río.

  • On Wednesday, September 16, model Valentina Ferrer announced her separation from J Balvin via Instagram Story after nearly ten years together. The Miss Universe contestant, 32, stated the split was "a decision made from love, respect and the desire to do what is best for our family."
  • Balvin and Ferrer met during a 2017 music video shoot for "Sigo Extrayéndote," dating shortly after. The couple welcomed their son, Rio, in June 2021, and have since coordinated their busy careers to maximize time with him.
  • Fans suspected complications in recent months as the pair reportedly stopped releasing joint social media content since late July. Speculation intensified after Ferrer responded with "likes" on posts about Karol G's breakup anthem, "Alguien Que."
  • Both parents emphasized that their priority remains supporting Rio with "all our love" as they navigate this change. The 5-year-old maintains his established school and activity routine while both coordinate their careers accordingly.
  • Calling for privacy, Ferrer stated, "We are going through this process calmly and deeply appreciate the understanding and respect toward this very personal moment for us." The couple seeks discretion as they manage this significant family transition.
