Ernesto Laguardia says Adela Noriega lives in Mexico, not US

Ernesto Laguardia has revealed that Adela Noriega, the iconic Mexican telenovela actress who disappeared from public life in 2008, lives in Mexico, not in the United States as many had speculated. During a conversation with fellow reality show contestants Yahir, Moisés Peñaloza, and Aldo Rendón on La Casa de los Famosos México, Laguardia confirmed he worked with Noriega and maintained contact with her for a long time. When asked if she was in the US, he replied, "No, here in Mexico… I send a kiss to my beloved Adelita" Source: heraldomx. Infobae reports that Laguardia began to say "It seems that..." but stopped before completing the thought, then simply sent his regards Source: infobae.

The mystery

Noriega's sudden withdrawal from acting after Fuego en la sangre (2008) has fueled persistent rumors about her whereabouts and health. Over the years, unconfirmed reports placed her in Polanco, Mexico City, or Weston, Florida, and suggested she worked in real estate Source: infobae. A photo from 2009, circulated in 2024 as recent, added to the speculation. In June, rumors of her death were denied by journalists Source: infobae.

What's next
