Romance seems to be blooming between Manuel and Gabriela, contestants from the popular reality show 'La isla de las tentaciones'. Recent sightings during the Carnaval de Cádiz have confirmed what were mere rumors just weeks ago. Eyewitness accounts describe the two stars engaging in affectionate displays, sparking conversations and speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Since February 2025, whispers of possible romantic involvement between Manuel and Gabriela have circulated. These rumors gained traction when influencer La Cuernis shared claims from followers who spotted them together on multiple occasions. Small details, like matching outfits and shared dining experiences, fueled these speculations. Initially, Gabriela was quick to deny any romantic involvement. "If he were my partner, rest assured I would make sure it wasn't known," she commented on videos linking her to Manuel.
But as the rumors persisted, so did the pressure on Gabriela. Following assertions from La Cuernis, who claimed to have evidence of them kissing, Gabriela removed her prior comment and moved on. With the realities of their connections becoming more public, exclusive images disclosed by the show 'Ni que fuéramos' showed Manuel and Gabriela at the Carnaval de Cádiz, where they were reportedly seen kissing, hugging and enjoying each other's company.
According to an anonymous witness at the event, they were "dándose besos, arrumacos y abrazados"—essentially, they were very cozy with each other. Despite wearing costumes intended to help them blend in, they were easily recognized, leading to interactions with fans, though they opted for separate photos. Interestingly, following the day's festivities, rumors suggest the couple even spent the night together, which points to their relationship being considerably more than just friendship.
The relationship seems to be progressing rapidly, as the same witness relayed information indicating Gabriela has met Manuel's parents, though it appears this might not be regarded favorably. The source noted, "A los padres de Manuel, Gabriela no les gusta nada", indicating familial disapproval could play a significant role moving forward.
For viewers of 'La isla de las tentaciones', the romance adds another layer of tension as the show is nearing its finale. Telecinco is airing another episode tonight, March 3, 2025, as many anticipate the resolution of four tumultuous romantic plots already featured throughout the season. With mixed bonfires recently introduced, tensions are expected to spike as participants see their partners interact with the temptation island's suitors.
Javier de Hoyos recently highlighted the blossoming affection during the evening segment, referencing his observations about Manuel and Gabriela during the Carnaval. He noted, "He visto a Manuel y a Gabriella en los Carnavales de Cádiz muy cariñosos... Sabemos que han dormido juntos," underscoring the intimate nature of their interactions and referencing their individual reluctance to pose for photos together.
The developments surrounding Manuel and Gabriela continue to steal the spotlight, drawing online discussions about whether they will publicly confirm their relationship. Fans eagerly await the show's airing tonight to see how these revelations will affect their narrative arcs, especially with the potential for emotional confrontations during upcoming episodes.
Only time will tell whether Manuel and Gabriela choose to divulge their feelings openly or maintain the air of mystery they have kept until now—though many speculate they may be inclined toward transparency, especially considering the current buzz and viewer interest.
