For weeks, rumors about a crisis between Alejandro Sanz and Candela Márquez had grown stronger. For some time, they hadn't been seen together in public nor had they shared posts on social media. Now, an unexpected detail has revealed a U-turn in their situation.

This gesture has meant much more than a photo, as it marks a turning point in the public perception of their relationship.

Alejandro Sanz and Candela Márquez make a U-turn in their situation by reappearing together

Alejandro Sanz and Candela Márquez had gone months without appearing together, and that hadn't gone unnoticed. Since their first public appearance as a couple in November 2024, they had become a regular target of the spotlight. However, in recent months, their story seemed to have cooled off.

The last time they were seen was at the 2025 Goya Awards, held in February. After that night, both stopped following each other on social media, fueling even more speculation about a possible breakup.

The tension grew even more when Ivet Pláya, Alejandro Sanz's ex-partner, gave some harsh statements that emotionally affected the singer. In that context, Candela Márquez's silence was striking.

Now, a photo has come to light that has caused a U-turn in their situation. In a carousel of photos posted by Alejandro Sanz on his Instagram account, there was a hidden surprise. It was a photo with Candela Márquez and Juan Luis Guerra, taken backstage at the Dominican artist's latest concert.

Although it wasn't the main image, the most alert followers quickly noticed. The couple appeared smiling, in a conspiratorial attitude, accompanying Guerra on a very special night. This gesture, discreet yet eloquent, has been interpreted by many as confirmation that their relationship is moving forward.

It wasn't just a casual photo. The fact that Sanz decided to include that photo in his post, even without highlighting it, has been seen as a way to put an end to the rumors without the need for statements or explanations. A subtle message, but with a very evident emotional weight.

Candela Márquez clarifies the status of her relationship with Alejandro Sanz

Just a few hours after the photo came to light, Candela Márquez attended the 2025 Fashion Awards photocall. As expected, questions about her relationship with Alejandro Sanz didn't take long to arise.

The actress replied naturally and with a smile: "Everything is going very well," clearly putting to rest any doubts about a possible breakup. She also revealed that she will stay in Madrid all summer, which is interpreted as a sign of the great moment in their relationship.

But the most talked-about moment came when she was asked if she likes to dress up a lot, and Candela dropped a phrase that didn't go unnoticed. "I like to dress up when there are moments when you have to dress up, but when not, I put my hair in a bun, I don't wear makeup, and I wear the worst pair of pants there is. If I can grab them from my partner, even better," she said.

The surprise was immediate. One of the reporters, laughing, asked if she was referring to Alejandro Sanz's pants. To which she replied: "Oh, really," turning around with a mischievous expression, knowing she had revealed more than intended.

Although she tried to play it down, Candela Márquez's spontaneous gesture ended up confirming what the photo with Juan Luis Guerra already suggested. Her complicity with Alejandro Sanz remains intact, even in the most everyday details.

Alejandro Sanz and Candela Márquez have made a U-turn in their story, making it clear that their relationship is still alive. Their joint reappearance, along with some spontaneous and loaded-with-complicity statements, have been enough to put an end to the rumors. It remains to be seen whether this new chapter will further strengthen their bond or if there are still surprises to be discovered.
