In a recent episode of a podcast in which she participated with her sister, Mariela Medina, the renowned television host Magaly Medina surprised her followers by speaking openly about the financial dynamics in her relationship with the lawyer Alfredo Zambrano . During the conversation, the presenter ‘Magaly TV, the firm’ shared details about how they organize themselves to cover expenses on their frequent trips, both national and international.
Magaly explained that, although both have financial independence thanks to their respective careers, she is the one who assumes most of the small payments during trips, although she does so using the money that her husband provides her. “When I travel with my husband, he gives me a card so I can pay, because he hates dealing with payments for hotels or tours. He simply doesn’t like to do it,” commented the prominent entertainment journalist.
How do Magaly Medina and Alfredo Zambrano divide the expenses of their relationship?
Far from modern trends such as “50/50”, Magaly Medina assured that their relationship is based on a more traditional model. According to him, Alfredo Zambrano gives him a card and cash to cover everyday expenses such as taxis, tips and restaurants. “In a large restaurant, he pays with his card and assumes those large expenses. But, as for the little ones, I am the one who opens the wallet, although it is really their money, not mine,” he added with a laugh.
Medina also reflected on the criticism of couples who do not divide expenses equally. “I am not for those modernities. When I was single, I did pay for my things. My dad taught me that ‘mouth that eats, pays’. But with my husband it is different; “He enjoys giving me certain pleasures, and I value that a lot,” he highlighted. This financial model has been key in their couple dynamic and reflects the stability that both have built over the years.
Magaly also pointed out that Alfredo Zambrano It covers important expenses, such as luxury purchases or dinners at exclusive establishments. “I know that if I want something expensive, even if I can pay for it myself, my husband always does it for me,” the host concluded, making clear the type of agreement they have established as a couple.
