Peruvian influencer Gia Meier has addressed romance rumours linking her to Nicolas Cabieses after photographs of them together at a family gathering went viral online.
The digital creator addressed the speculation during a live broadcast of her online show following days of mounting public curiosity regarding her connection to Cabieses, a 21-year-old university student who is two years her junior.
The rumours erupted after Meier's mother, the Peruvian actress Marisol Aguirre, shared a photograph from a weekend family gathering on social media showing Meier alongside Cabieses and several friends. The image swiftly circulated across digital platforms, gaining significant traction on TikTok as viewers began questioning whether the two were dating.
Meier is the daughter of two of Peru's most prominent entertainment personalities. Her father, Christian Meier, built an extensive international career as an actor, musician, and model, gaining fame across Latin America through leading roles in popular telenovelas such as Luz Maria, Dona Barbara, and Zorro, la espada y la rosa, alongside a successful recording career in Latin rock.
Her mother, Marisol Aguirre, is a celebrated television presenter, model, and theatre actress who achieved widespread recognition starring in productions such as Gorrion. The former couple married in 1995 and divorced in 2008, having three children together, with Gia Meier increasingly carving out her own public profile through digital content creation and broadcasting.
Viral photograph and social media reaction
Public fascination with the photograph intensified when Andrea Noriega, Meier's colleague on the digital streaming channel ZacaTV, posted a comment on TikTok that fueled speculation about a potential relationship. Followers of the show responded by filling the channel's message feeds with questions, asking for clarity on who the young man was and whether romance was blossoming.
The situation came to the forefront during the Monday, 9 November episode of the ZacaTV podcast. When her colleagues brought up the viral image during the broadcast, Meier appeared visibly flustered and could not hide her nervousness on air.
Speaking through laughter, Meier admitted that the sudden viral attention had prompted her to confront her mother directly about sharing private family moments on public networks. She explained that she had told Aguirre that she must always consult her before uploading any photograph to social media.
Meier recounted waking up on the morning after the photo was published and telling her mother to look at the immense stir she had generated online. The influencer expressed clear surprise at the scale of the public reaction that followed the single social media post.
Podcast discussion on ZacaTV
During the podcast, fellow presenter Andrea Noriega voiced open support for a romance between Meier and Cabieses, further amplifying the discussion in front of their online audience.
Another co-host on the show, known as Mafe sin r, attempted to assist Meier by providing context for the viral photograph. She explained to viewers that Aguirre had simply posted a picture from a party where Meier was accompanied by her guest and several other friends.
The description of Cabieses as Meier's guest backfired immediately, sparking bursts of laughter among the cast in the studio. Rather than cooling the discussion, the phrasing heightened Meier's embarrassment and signaled to her fellow presenters that the bond might be more significant than a routine acquaintance.
Despite the teasing from her co-hosts, Meier stopped short of confirming whether an official romance exists between them. She offered no formal declaration of a relationship, leaving the exact status of their connection unconfirmed during the show.
Family connections and three-day weekend
Cabieses belongs to an influential Peruvian family and is the brother of Ernesto Cabieses. Within Peruvian social and digital media circles, Ernesto Cabieses is widely recognised as the partner of Mafer Neyra, one of the country's most prominent lifestyle influencers and fashion creators.
The on-air conversation shifted back to Meier's personal schedule when her colleagues asked how she had spent her recent time with Cabieses amid the growing speculation. Meier surprised the studio by answering without hesitation, remarking that she had had a lovely time over the previous week.
Her admission led the ZacaTV presenters to examine the timeline of their recent activities. After reviewing the details, the group concluded that Meier and Cabieses had spent three consecutive days together over the course of the weekend.
Rather than disputing the three-day timeline or offering excuses, Meier reacted only by smiling warmly. The gesture left her colleagues and viewers to conclude that something deeper than ordinary friendship could be underway, even as both parties refrain from making their status official.
