Peruvian race car driver Mario Hart confessed he fears Venezuelan model Korina Rivadeneira will leave Peru with their children after their January separation.
Hart shared his concerns upon returning to Peru to co-host the podcast 'Sin +Q Decir' alongside María Pía Copello, breaking his silence after Rivadeneira previously spoke publicly about the end of their relationship.
Addressing the split on air, Hart strongly denied online rumors that he had threatened to take their eldest daughter, Lara, away from Rivadeneira if the couple parted ways. He stated that such allegations were extremely serious and completely unfounded.
Hart explained that following their separation in January 2026, he voluntarily moved out of the family residence so that their children could remain comfortably living with their mother. He added that he has placed no obstacles to prevent his children from staying with her.
Concerns over relocation to Venezuela
However, the presenter admitted that he is deeply troubled by the possibility of Rivadeneira relocating to her native country. Hart said he hoped the day would never come when she decided to rebuild her life outside Peru, warning that such a move would be very difficult and painful.
Hart added that any potential departure of his children from Peru would require extensive conversations before he could ever accept it, emphasizing that he cannot imagine a life without his children nearby.
Hours after Hart's broadcast, Rivadeneira posted a reflective message on her Instagram account. The model focused on faith and family plans, writing that while they may make their own plans, God's plans must come first because they are larger and better.
Hart, a prominent Peruvian motorsport driver and media personality, and Rivadeneira, a Venezuelan model and television figure, have been a high-profile couple in Peruvian entertainment. The media attention surrounding their January 2026 breakup has escalated following their respective public statements.
