Amaia Montero, the former lead singer of the popular Spanish band La Oreja de Van Gogh, is at the center of a social media storm following a recent post that many interpret as a veiled jab at her former friend, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo. This drama unfolded after Guillén Cuervo inadvertently revealed Montero's anticipated return to the band during the prestigious Premios Talía 2025 gala in April.
The controversy began on April 22, 2025, when Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, speaking to reporters, confirmed that she had known about Montero's return for some time. "I know it for a long time, but she asked me not to tell anyone, I promised, and I didn’t tell anyone, not even at home," she stated, adding that Montero had requested her silence for the sake of her godson Leo, the son of Guillén Cuervo.
This slip of the tongue quickly generated buzz, forcing Guillén Cuervo to issue a public apology on her Instagram. She expressed her sadness over the situation, stating, "I deeply regret that my words have caused this situation. I feel very sad about what happened and I apologize from the bottom of my heart." Despite her attempts to clarify, the damage was done, and Montero reportedly unfollowed her on social media, signaling a rift in their friendship.
Fast forward to May 7, 2025, when Amaia Montero took to Instagram to share a nostalgic photo with her former partner and close friend, Gonzalo Miró. The image, which shows the two smiling and enjoying a day at sea, was accompanied by a message that read, "Qué suerte, qué gran suerte tengo de tenerte como amigo… Siempre cuidándome, protegiéndome sin fallarme nunca… GRACIAS, Gonzalo Miró. TE QUIERO." This translates to, "What luck, what great luck I have to have you as a friend… Always caring for me, protecting me without ever failing me… THANK YOU, Gonzalo Miró. I love you."
While the post seemed to celebrate their friendship, many observers interpreted it as a pointed comment directed at Guillén Cuervo, especially given the timing and context. Social media users quickly reacted, with some accusing Montero of being petty. Comments ranged from supportive of Guillén Cuervo to critical of Montero's perceived passive-aggressive behavior.
Susanna Griso and Sergio Rodríguez from the talk show Espejo Público discussed the unfolding drama. Rodríguez remarked, "Amaia has punished Cayetana but rewarded our beloved Gonzalo Miró," highlighting the apparent favoritism in Montero's public displays of affection. Griso attempted to downplay the situation, but her co-host's comments reflected a broader sentiment among viewers who felt that Guillén Cuervo had been unfairly treated.
Despite the controversy, Gonzalo Miró defended his friendship with Montero during the same talk show, emphasizing that he would never betray her trust. He stated, "That will never happen because we are close friends, and I have never revealed anything that she didn’t want known." His loyalty stands in stark contrast to the fallout between Montero and Guillén Cuervo.
As the drama continues to unfold, fans of Amaia Montero eagerly await news of her official return to La Oreja de Van Gogh. Although the band has not made an official announcement, Miró hinted that fans would see Montero back on stage "más pronto que tarde," which translates to "sooner rather than later." This news is particularly exciting for fans who have missed Montero's presence in the music scene.
In the midst of this personal turmoil, the public's reaction remains divided. While many fans continue to support Montero, others express disappointment over her treatment of Guillén Cuervo, who has been a staunch supporter of the singer throughout her career. The incident raises questions about loyalty and friendship in the often tumultuous world of celebrity.
As of now, it appears that the relationship between Amaia Montero and Cayetana Guillén Cuervo may be irreparably damaged. The fallout from the revelation of Montero's return to La Oreja de Van Gogh has not only affected their friendship but has also captivated the public's attention, with many eager to see how this will all play out.
With the music world watching closely, Montero's next steps will be critical. Will she mend fences with Guillén Cuervo, or will this be the beginning of a long-standing feud? Only time will tell, but for now, fans are left to speculate and hope for a resolution as they look forward to Montero's return to the stage.
