Derbez likes post calling Dalay’s decisions immature
The actor’s reaction to a social media commentary sparks debate over his stance on their separation and their daughter’s wellbeing.
By Austin Reed ·
Actor and TV host José Eduardo Derbez liked a social media post that labeled his ex-partner Paola Dalay’s recent decisions as immature. The interaction occurred after Dalay announced the end of her relationship with Derbez and confirmed she is now dating Mexican footballer César Romo.
Content creator Lizeth Reyna shared the opinion that drew Derbez’s attention. Reyna’s post questioned specific actions taken by Dalay during the split. She simultaneously praised Derbez for his conduct as the father of their daughter, Tessa. Derbez did not comment on the post directly but registered a like, a move that users interpreted as tacit agreement with Reyna’s assessment.
The like generated immediate speculation about whether Derbez was sending a veiled message to his ex-partner. Users debated if the gesture signaled support for Reyna’s critique or a personal dig at Dalay. Derbez has not issued a public statement explaining the reaction or addressing the new relationship directly.
Dalay has maintained that no infidelity occurred during the relationship. She stated that she and Derbez continue to maintain a positive dynamic specifically for the benefit of their child. Her comments aim to clarify the nature of their parting while acknowledging their shared parental responsibilities.
The new relationship with César Romo became public after the pair were seen together at the Gran Premio de México. Dalay confirmed the romance and clarified that she met Romo after her separation from Derbez. She described the current status as a getting-to-know-you phase, noting that things are progressing well without formalizing the commitment yet.
Romo gained broader recognition following his association with the influencer. Prior to the relationship announcement, his public profile was less prominent. The timing of the dating news, coinciding with the social media exchange, added fuel to online discussions regarding the post-breakup dynamics between the former couple.
