Television presenter Paulina Mercado decided to put an end to the speculation surrounding the health of her partner, actor Juan Soler, who faced rumors about a supposed emergency medical procedure. What did she say? Here's the story.

The back-and-forth began a few weeks ago when actress Lucia Mendez made some statements about her ex-husband Pedro Torres, whose health situation was compared to that of Juan Soler. According to the 'Diva of Mexico,' the Argentine underwent surgery as a result of a heart condition.

“He is a handsome, beautiful man. I think he had surgery for something; I think he almost had a heart attack… I don't know if I'm being indiscreet, but I'm using him as an example of someone who is incredibly handsome, wonderful, young, strong, and then something like this happens,” Mendez said in an interview with the program 'De Primera Mano.'

Due to the concern generated on social media, Paulina Mercado, the telenovela heartthrob's partner, decided to address the issue in a recent press conference.

“No, I think she was mistaken. I think she was talking about someone else. I have no idea. Juan hasn't had any surgery, and of course I would tell you about it, absolutely. What can we do about our health? We can't control it. There's nothing wrong with that,” the celebrity commented.

According to Paulina Mercado, the only time Juan Soler's health was compromised was months ago, during his participation in the reality show "Top Chef VIP." "It was just a scare when he was in Colombia; he suffered dehydration, a kidney infection, and burnout. He was so tired, plus they were filming every day, and on weekends he was going to classes. I swear I kept telling him, 'Honey, your body will react, take care of yourself.' At the end of the day, the body is wise; there comes a point when it says, 'That's it, I can't take it anymore.' But thank God, he didn't," she stated. Finally, she indicated that the star of telenovelas like "When me Enamoro" and "La Otra" is healthy and focused on her career.“Juan is in excellent health right now, he's doing very well, he's cooking a lot, he has new projects, he's doing great, but thank you for asking,” she said. "I don't know why Lucia Mendez would have said that, I think she got his name wrong. But you're a great person, Lucia, I'm sending you a kiss, even though you're a bit absentminded," she reiterated.
