Geraldine Bazán Reacts to Rumored Romance Between Irina Baeva and Giovanni Medina
The world of Mexican entertainment has been abuzz with rumors surrounding actress Irina Baeva and businessman Giovanni Medina. Just four months after her split from Gabriel Soto, the Russian actress has been linked to Medina, who is notably the ex-partner of singer Ninel Conde.
While Baeva has publicly denied any romantic involvement, referring to Medina as “just a friend,” recent sightings and evidence suggest otherwise.
A Night Out in Las Vegas
Speculation about Baeva and Medina’s relationship reached a fever pitch after they were spotted together in Las Vegas. According to the entertainment program *Chisme No Like*, the pair was seen enjoying themselves in a VIP section of a nightclub, reportedly costing $45,000. Videos shared by the program show the duo dancing together and later walking through a casino.
Javier Ceriani, a journalist for *Chisme No Like*, confronted the pair in an attempt to get a statement. However, both Baeva and Medina remained tight-lipped. When asked about their relationship status, Medina simply replied, “We’re not going to talk.”
Past Rumors of Medina and Geraldine Bazán
This development has added another layer of intrigue, given that Giovanni Medina was previously rumored to be romantically involved with Geraldine Bazán, Gabriel Soto’s ex-wife. Journalist Gustavo Adolfo Infante had reported that Bazán and Medina had been seeing each other for five months but kept their relationship private out of respect for Bazán’s personal life.
Despite these claims, Bazán has also chosen to remain discreet about her alleged connection with Medina.
Irina Baeva Denies Romance
In a recent interview with *Sale el Sol*, Irina Baeva addressed the rumors, insisting that she and Medina share nothing more than friendship. “Giovanni is a friend of mine… he’s helping me through a complicated situation that I might talk about at some point,” she explained.
However, her denial has done little to quell public speculation, especially in light of the Las Vegas sightings.
Geraldine Bazán Breaks Her Silence
The media frenzy intensified when Geraldine Bazán was approached by reporters at the Mexico City International Airport. Initially cordial, Bazán became visibly uncomfortable when asked about the alleged romance between Baeva and Medina.
One reporter questioned her directly: “You were once linked to Giovanni Medina, and now they say he’s courting Irina. What do you think?” Bazán responded with laughter, saying, “Really? That’s funny, isn’t it? Thanks, guys,” before making a quick exit.
Her reaction has been interpreted by some as dismissive humor, while others see it as an attempt to avoid addressing a potentially sensitive topic.
“Ventaneando” Hosts Weigh In
The popular TV Azteca show *Ventaneando* covered the story during its latest broadcast, providing details about the rumored romance while also critiquing Geraldine Bazán’s response.
Mónica Castañeda noted that Bazán had been evasive about her alleged relationship with Medina in the past. “When she was asked about Giovanni, she never gave a clear answer. Now she responds differently—almost like she’s throwing shade,” Castañeda remarked.
Pedro Sola chimed in with a controversial comment: “Imagine how much Irina Baeva must hate Geraldine Bazán. After all, she took her husband [Gabriel Soto]!”
Ricardo Manjarrez added his perspective, interpreting Bazán’s reaction as playful sarcasm aimed at Baeva.
“Her response—calling it funny—felt like a jab at Irina, as if to say, ‘First you couldn’t keep one man; now you’re trying for another.’”
A Complicated Web of Relationships
This unfolding drama is further complicated by the history between Geraldine Bazán and Irina Baeva. Gabriel Soto, who was married to Bazán for over a decade and shares two daughters with her, began dating Baeva shortly after their divorce. The love triangle has fueled years of public scrutiny and speculation about lingering tensions between the two women.
The addition of Giovanni Medina to this narrative has only added more intrigue to an already complex web of relationships.
What’s Next?
While Irina Baeva and Giovanni Medina have yet to confirm or deny their alleged romance definitively, their recent public appearances together suggest that there may be more to their relationship than meets the eye. Meanwhile, Geraldine Bazán continues to handle questions about her personal life with humor and grace—or calculated avoidance, depending on who you ask.
As for *Ventaneando* and other entertainment outlets, it seems likely that this story will continue to dominate headlines in the coming weeks. With so many high-profile figures involved, the public remains eager for updates on this ever-evolving tale of love, loss, and new beginnings in the Mexican entertainment industry.
