Overview
- Marta Fort shared an Instagram video on June 4 that she said recalled happier moments with her late padrino, posting a clip from when she was 15 and writing that the date made her feel sad and melancholic.
- She closed the post with a pointed line saying she posted early to remind Martínez’s wider “family” of the birthday, a remark outlets noted as a clear public rebuke of his circle.
- Gustavo Martínez died in February 2022 after falling from the 21st floor of his Belgrano apartment, a death first treated as a possible suicide amid reports he had been depressed and worried about milestone dates.
- Marta has previously called Martínez’s action selfish while also saying he suffered from a beginning of Alzheimer’s, and her new tribute reinforces the mixed public feelings she has expressed about his illness and death.
- The tribute highlights long‑running family dynamics: Ricardo Fort named Martínez legal guardian of Marta and her twin brother after Ricardo’s death, and the post is likely to renew public scrutiny of how grief, care and memory have been managed since 2013.
