When 41-year-old María Emilia Melo signed up for Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Argentina’ in an attempt to find the film for her, she could never have expected the journey she took. After all, not only did she meet some amazing individuals and people she knows will be her friends for life, but she also met the brooding and mysterious 42-year-old Mauricio Jorge Zappacosta. The latter had signed up to also find ‘the one’ for him, indicating from day one that he would meet a wonderful person who would help him not only come out of his shell, but grow with him.
María Emilia and Mauricio have done their utmost to make their connection work
While María Emilia was immediately attracted to the 44-year-old broadcaster and audiovisual producer Marino in the pods, Mauricio also stood out to her for his unwavering directness. The truth is that the initial attention he got from her was actually quite negative, as she felt like he wasn’t interested in her, but things changed as they continued to talk, and he admitted that he genuinely liked her. She didn’t know it at the time, but he even protected her in the men’s lunge, telling Marino that he seemed like a player and that he wouldn’t let him hurt “his women.”
However, Mauricio didn’t even have to intervene as Marino’s admission of cheating in the past and admitting to being a ‘dog’ while not in a relationship was too much for Maria Emilia. After all, she had a 23-year-old son and wanted to finally settle down for good, not be hooked up, and that’s exactly what Mauricio wanted too. So they began their official engagement, only to discover that both their values and expectations for the future were largely aligned, which led to her asking him to marry him. At the unveiling, he got down on one knee in front of her.
The truth is that Maria and Mauricio’s reveal, as well as the first day of their outing, went as well as expected, with the only surprise for the latter being how messy his partner was. However, things changed as time went on when she discovered that he needed both physical contact and emotional validation every step of the way, without which he often became annoyed. The fact that he himself admitted to others that his partner was generally not his type also did not go down well with the couple, especially since it only served as a prelude to the great significance that aesthetics would have in their context.
It looks like María Emilia and Mauricio have broken up
Although neither María Emilia nor Mauricio have confirmed or denied anything regarding their relationship status at the time of writing, their online presence does indicate that they are no longer together. While the former has posted with obvious fondness in her heart about her time in this experiment and how much it taught her, she and Mauricio don’t seem to have kept in touch at all. The truth is that Maria and Mauricio seem to be living completely different lives these days, indicating that despite their best efforts, they unfortunately couldn’t move past their problems and their relationship work in the real world.
María Emilia Melo is proud to be a working mother
When María Emilia was just 17, she welcomed her son into this world, not knowing that she would unintentionally interrupt her own personal life for a long time. Therefore, the lawyer decided to conduct this experiment for herself and eventually find a partner for herself, knowing that her son would turn out fine as he has grown into a fine young man and moved away. Things seemingly didn’t go as she had hoped, but it’s clear that she’s glad she took the leap of faith and now even seems open to some more exciting adventures. However, her career, as well as her son, undoubtedly remain her priority.
Mauricio Jorge Zappacosta leads a fairly quiet life
Despite being a skilled and successful fashion designer, Mauricio honestly prefers to live a quiet life away from the spotlight, which isn’t entirely surprising considering how cautious he is. Nevertheless, we know that he is extremely proud of everything he has achieved over the years, especially because it has allowed him to provide his young daughter with a good, stable life. As for his personal status, it seems that this owner of the Not Ego unisex clothing brand has even recently decided to expand his wings by pursuing a bachelor’s degree in economics and delving into the world of investments.
