Cris Miró, the vedette who revolutionized Argentine television in the 90s, kept a secret that is only now becoming known in detail. 💎

According to journalist Luis Ventura on ‘A la tarde’, Diego Maradona was madly in love with her, and they met in secret, away from cameras and rumors, in an apartment lent by another entertainment figure.

“As proof of that hidden love”, the number 10 allegedly sent her a diamond bracelet through an intermediary, so that no one could directly link them.

Journalist Alicia Pedrelli added the detail that left everyone speechless: Cris Miró ended up selling that piece of jewelry to pay for the HIV medical treatment she was undergoing in the final months of her life.

In 1999, shortly before dying at the age of 33, Maradona had publicly denied any romance: “I understood and supported her when no one else did; that does not mean I was with her”. Today, with both him and her deceased, the story resurfaces from a completely different angle.
