However, only three days after the romantic scenes in Guatemala, the player announced on his Instagram story that the engagement had unexpectedly come to an end.
“Yes, it’s true that my relationship (engagement) ended. It was a difficult personal situation, like any breakup, but I prefer to handle it with respect and maturity,” he wrote, as quoted by the Mexican publication Latinus.
“I’m not going to speak ill of anyone, nor go into details, because it was a relationship that was important to me at the time.”
