Argentine television host Julián Weich surprised viewers and guests alike by revealing he secretly married his partner of seven years, Jennifer De la Rosa, during an intimate ceremony on September 11, 2026, disguised as a birthday party at a Palermo Soho restaurant.
The secret nuptials unfolded in Buenos Aires when guests arrived at a Palermo Soho restaurant believing they were attending a celebration for De la Rosa’s birthday. Instead, a justice of the peace was waiting on-site to officiate the wedding ceremony (according to La Nación). The surprise operation began at 18:00 when the establishment closed its doors to the general public, restricting entry strictly to the couple’s inner circle of family and friends.
How the Secret Wedding Unfolded Behind Closed Doors
Guests arrived at the venue completely unaware of the actual agenda. Another guest present was Momo, one of the sons of the conductor who lives in Córdoba, according to Contexto Tucumán. The plan succeeded in keeping tabloid journalists and cameras away, allowing the wedding to proceed without media interference.
Details of the unexpected ceremony emerged when one of the attendees, a gastronomic entrepreneur, shared photographs of the toast on social media before deleting the post (noted Clarín).
A guest remarked that they had innocently gone thinking it was a simple birthday, arrived a little late as usual, and found the judge marrying them live and directly, via Clarín.
A guest noted that they did not understand anything and were in total shock, but what a beautiful madness, adding that it was an incredible moment surrounded by beautiful people and pure good vibes, wishing huge congratulations to Julián and Jenn for extraordinary happiness and thanking them for making them part of the moment, via Infobae.
Confirmation on Morning Television and the Post-Ceremony Menu
Two days after exchanging vows, Weich confirmed the marriage live on his morning cooking program, ¡Qué mañana!, broadcast on El Nueve (detailed Clarín). When his co-hosts nudged him for details and teased him about keeping the nuptials quiet, the host simply smiled, joked that they continued to be married with the remark “Seguimos casados”, and stated: Estamos casados
(according to Infobae), adding that he already carried “como dos días” of marriage, as noted Clarín.
Following the civil ceremony, the wedding party sat down for a custom meal prepared by the restaurant Tomate (reported Contexto Tucumán). The menu featured seasonal products with Mediterranean influences, highlighted by sweet potato gnocchi as the main course, under the culinary direction of chef Facundo Berti and bar manager Agustín Giuliani (noted Contexto Tucumán). De la Rosa also shared an image of herself standing beside a chocolate cake decorated with red flowers, captioning it that it was a different kind of birthday, full of emotions and nice surprises (stated Clarín).
Seven Years Together Away from the Media Spotlight
The marriage caps a seven-year relationship that the couple consistently chose to keep away from tabloid headlines (reported Caras). De la Rosa, who is 42 years old and 18 years younger than the 60-year-old television personality, is originally from Mexico and has lived in Argentina for more than two decades (detailed Clarín).
During an earlier interview, Weich recounted how they met at a party where she was working, after he was called to host an event for her company (reported A24). They discovered a shared passion for scuba diving and reconnected later through Instagram (stated A24). In an interview with La Nación, the host noted that when they first met, his now-wife did not know who he was (noted La Nación).
Julián Weich recounted via La Nación that they met at a party, chatted, realized they both liked scuba diving, and things went from there, adding that she did not know him, realizing he was someone well-known but having no idea who he was.
Moving From Cohabitation to Legal Commitment
For years, the couple lived together without formalizing their legal status. In 2024, Weich described their domestic arrangement by telling reporters that they shared a home sin papeles
(without paperwork) (noted La Nación).
While Weich maintains a prominent profile in Argentine television and serves as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, De la Rosa has kept a low public profile (reported Caras). By orchestrating a clandestine ceremony disguised as a birthday gathering, the couple successfully preserved the private boundaries that characterized their seven-year courtship.
