A furious husband is reportedly set on divorcing his influencer wife after footage surfaced of her kissing Romeo Santos, the lead singer of Aventura, a popular bachata band who reunited for a 2024 tour.
The December 28 concert was an unforgettable experience for the band’s fans in the Dominican Republic, who waited more than 13 years for the band to reunite after its dissolution in 2011.
Influencer Miriam Cruz, the moment would never come again, jumped into the singer’s arms after being invited on stage to perform a song and kissed him on the lips, with the moment quickly going viral among her viewers.
Problems began as soon as Miriam came back home, as her husband of 10 years did not take too kindly to her actions and asked her for a divorce.
“I have to acknowledge that this achievement came at a very high cost: the breakup of my 10-year marriage,” she said in a since-deleted post on her profile.

Cruz explained to her viewers that she acted impulsively, overwhelmed by nerves, excitement, and the electric atmosphere of Aventura’s long-awaited return.
She went to the concert with a sign that read “my dream is to sing La Guerra with you,” a wish that became reality once Santos invited her on stage.
Despite recognizing that her actions caused a rift in her marriage, she expressed no remorse for the kiss, feeling proud about seizing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show her idol how much she cares for him.
“For me, it’s not just about admiring the artist but also about valuing the great human being that he is,” she explained. “I have followed and admired him for a long time.”
Cruz went on to apologize to her husband, saying that it was never her intention to hurt her and hoping they could “maintain peace and unity for the sake of our children” in the future.
Her TikTok account was previously filled with videos of her and her soon-to-be ex-husband happily dancing to Aventura’s songs, as well as clips with their children, which made the announcement of their separation even more hurtful to her viewers.
The announcement sparked a fierce debate on social media, with one side defending the husband’s decision and the other accusing him of being “insecure”
Cruz also lamented the “social pressure” the drama going public caused her husband. Soon after she announced his intention to divorce her, hordes of her fans started harassing him, shaming him for his decision.
“The world is full of insecure men,” one post on X read. “Typical male chauvinist,” another said.
A back-and-forth ensued on social media, with one side stating that the husband was “overreacting” and the other supporting his decision, stating that Cruz’s actions broke his trust and pointed towards deeper issues in the relationship.
Many of the husband’s defenders also explained how the viral nature of the clip meant that her entire family would be affected, including her children, who could be bullied at school for the video.
“That was a public showcase of disrespect,” one user wrote. “A woman who truly loves her husband would never do something like this.”
“No matter what happens, you will always be the love of my life,” Cruz wrote in a follow-up video. “Even if we’re not together anymore!”
“Embarrassing and disrespectful.” Netizens supported the husband’s decision to ask for a divorce, feeling that Cruz’ actions went over the line
