Claudia Chacón Reveals Why She Entered La Isla de las Tentaciones with Her Ex Gilbert

08 October 2026

Claudia Chacón has opened up about the real reasons she entered La Isla de las Tentaciones 9 alongside her then-partner Gilbert, claiming that she already knew their relationship was coming to an end before they appeared on the reality show.

Speaking on content creator Malbert's podcast Última Llamada, the Mallorcan television personality said she saw the programme as a way to finally end a relationship that, according to her account, had already changed considerably.

Chacón said she and Gilbert had reached a point where they were "like friends" and that their intimate relationship had effectively disappeared.

She also admitted that she was no longer in love with him, although she still cared about him.

"I used the programme to break up with him"

Chacón was particularly direct when explaining why she agreed to participate in the show with Gilbert.

According to her account, she used the situation as a way of forcing the relationship to come to an end.

She said she did not expect Gilbert to simply remain in the relationship if she became involved with someone else in front of the cameras and viewers.

Chacón described her approach as complicated and acknowledged that there may have been other ways of handling the breakup.

She also admitted that she knew there was a possibility she could become involved with another contestant during the programme.

She says the relationship was already struggling

Looking back, Chacón said the relationship with Gilbert had already changed before they arrived on the reality show.

She described them as being more like friends and said their sexual relationship had effectively ended.

She also explained that she had not promised Gilbert that nothing would happen during the programme.

Instead, she said she had been open about the possibility that the situation could develop differently once they entered the show.

Her comments provide her own explanation for some of the events that unfolded during La Isla de las Tentaciones 9.

"I wasn't in love with him"

One of the strongest parts of the interview came when Chacón distinguished between still caring about Gilbert and being in love with him.

She said she loved him in the sense that she still cared deeply about him, but acknowledged that she was no longer in love with him.

That distinction, according to her, was central to understanding why she eventually decided to end the relationship.

The couple's breakup subsequently became one of the major storylines surrounding their appearance on the programme.

Telecinco's coverage confirms that the relationship ended following their participation, while later episodes and reunions showed the two continuing to discuss the fallout from what happened.

A complicated aftermath

The breakup did not immediately bring an end to the tension between the former couple.

During the later La Isla de las Tentaciones reunion, Gilbert said that Claudia had continued contacting him. Telecinco reported that the two exchanged messages after the programme, with their conversations becoming increasingly tense.

Their relationship therefore continued to attract attention well after the cameras stopped filming.

Chacón has now offered another perspective on those events, saying that she had already reached the conclusion that the relationship needed to end and that the reality show became the setting in which that happened.

Claudia Chacón's new life in Ibiza

Chacón has since moved on from the relationship and is now living in Ibiza with her partner Sergio Martínez.

Mediaset has previously shown Chacón giving viewers a tour of her new home on the island, which she shares with Sergio. She explained that he chose the property while she was participating in Supervivientes 2026 and that she was beginning to make changes to the interior to give it a more personal style.

Sergio also featured in the wider story surrounding Chacón's time on television in 2026, including her appearance on Supervivientes.

A new explanation of the reality-show drama

Chacón's latest interview does not change the events viewers saw on La Isla de las Tentaciones, but it does provide her own explanation of what was happening behind the scenes before the programme began.

According to her account, the relationship with Gilbert was already seriously weakened, and she entered the reality show knowing that their relationship might not survive the experience.

Her comments also show how differently the participants can view the same events after leaving the programme.

For Chacón, the experience ultimately marked the end of a relationship she says she no longer wanted to continue and the beginning of a new chapter that has since brought her to Ibiza.
