In recent days, a simple photo was enough to explode speculation on social networks about Maru Botana’s possible pregnancy. The cook, with her usual spontaneity, decided to clarify the situation and explained how her family experienced the unexpected wave of rumors.
It is said that his children were the first to take the matter with humor. “They died laughing,” he explained with a laugh, emphasizing that the comment only caused surprise and some in-joke in his house. “We’re used to things being said, but this time it was so unusual that they started laughing as soon as they saw it,” he said.

Maru Botana pregnant?
The misunderstanding arose from a picture that was widely shared on the networks and showed Maru with his hand on his stomach. This gesture, habitual and without the intention of communicating anything, was enough for many users to interpret that it announced a new motherhood. However, the cook was categorical: she was neither pregnant nor had she indicated otherwise.
Far from being irritated, Botana took the opportunity to reflect on the constant scrutiny that public figures face, particularly when it comes to issues related to the body and motherhood. “There are big image problems in Argentina,” he said, emphasizing that he leads a healthy lifestyle, trains daily and usually doesn’t let criticism or false readings get to him.
The chef also emphasized that her family is her most important support and that the support of her children gives her perspective against any external comments. Over the years, he has experienced very difficult personal moments that have shaped his life and that, he admits, allow him to put superficial rumors like the one that went viral this week in perspective.
While the networks continue to generate debates and theories from a simple photo, Maru Botana proves once again that he prefers to navigate the media spotlight with naturalness and humor. And that it’s really important to her to stay behind closed doors, away from the digital noise.
