Overview
- Manuel Ibero, called to the confessional Tuesday after the elimination gala, learned that Ámbar had died and left in tears as housemates embraced him.
- The Ibero family confirmed the death earlier Tuesday with an Instagram tribute from Manuel’s brother, Justo, thanking Ámbar for her love and saying farewell.
- Zoe Bogach, Manuel’s ex, posted a TikTok video in tears saying she loved the dog and was struggling to process the news.

- In past episodes Manuel described Ámbar as his best companion and emotional support, which helps explain the depth of his reaction on camera.
