Julián Gil denies that his jealousy is behind the TUDN departure of his wife, Valeria Marín

Actor Julián Gil has dismissed claims that his jealousy over his wife Valeria Marín’s departure from sports network TUDN was a factor in her decision to leave. In response to online speculation suggesting he might have been behind her resignation, Gil laughed off the accusations, calling such theories irresponsible. He criticized a video circulating online that linked him to the situation, describing it as “telenovelasco”, a term implying melodramatic or overly dramatic storytelling. Valeria Marín, a well-known sports presenter, announced her exit from TUDN after seven years with the channel. Her departure surprised many, but Gil, who has been married to her since December 29, 2024, focused on expressing love and admiration for her in a lengthy message. She responded with affectionate words dedicated to her husband. The couple, who began their relationship in early 2020 during the Super Bowl in Miami, got engaged in Qatar late 2022 and married in Puerto Rico. Their bond has been strengthened by a shared passion for sports, making their relationship one of the most stable in the media. However, Marín’s exit from TUDN has sparked controversy, with some suggesting that Gil might have felt jealous of Marc Crosas, a Spanish-born Mexican footballer and former player who worked alongside Marín. Crosas, who had been a close collaborator with Marín during the recent FIFA World Cup 2026, also sent a heartfelt farewell message to her, expressing admiration and affection. He emphasized that their professional relationship would not diminish their personal connection, even after she left TUDN. Crosas shared several photos with Marín as part of his farewell, including images of them getting tattoos with the phrase “¿Y si sí?”, a reference to the World Cup. His messages were widely discussed on social media, further fueling the debate around Marín’s decision. Gil commented on these posts, praising the pair as the “best duo” and expressing his desire to remain together forever. In an interview with Javier Ceriani, both Gil and Marín denied any romantic involvement between Marín and Crosas. Marín clarified that her husband did not pressure or force her to resign, stating that she chose to leave voluntarily to focus more on family life. She has previously expressed a desire to become a mother, which could explain her decision to step away from her job. Gil also criticized a video from a sports outlet that suggested he was behind her resignation, calling it “very irresponsible.” He argued that such narratives were exaggerated and lacked substance. On social media, some users accused him of being jealous, claiming he had influenced her decision to quit. Gil, however, took to social media to address these attacks directly, sharing screenshots of the comments he received. He made it clear that Marín’s choice to leave TUDN was entirely hers, driven by her wish to embrace new opportunities and spend more time with her family. “After so many years, VAL decided on her own to close her chapter at TUDN,” he wrote. “One of the things I admire most about you, my love, is your courage to know when to thank, close a door, and make space for something new.” The couple continues to navigate public scrutiny while maintaining their private life. Their story remains a focal point in the entertainment and sports worlds, highlighting the complexities of high-profile relationships in the spotlight.
