Overview
- Mario Hart has told TV interviewers that his marriage to Korina Rivadeneira was annulled about two years ago and that he is now single.
- Model Samantha Batallanos appeared on Magaly TV to say Hart repeatedly messaged her, sent a temporary (ephemeral) photo and told her he had been separated for about three months, directly contradicting Hart’s claim that she first contacted him.
- Korina Rivadeneira has responded on social media with a radical haircut and a posted message about how people’s actions leave lasting emotional marks, which many outlets read as an indirect reply.
- Hart has so far avoided a direct public rebuttal to Batallanos’s claims and has shifted his public output to promotional posts and an announced return to motor racing.
- Entertainment programs and tabloids have driven the story by publishing chat excerpts and interviews, turning private messages and ephemeral social tools into central evidence in a dispute that remains publicly unresolved.
