Model Korina Rivadeneira's mystery companion driving former partner Mario Hart's truck was identified on Thursday as Venezuelan content creator Enmanuel Jose Parrado.
The ATV entertainment program Magaly TV, La firme aired unseen footage on Thursday, August 27, showing Parrado driving the vehicle and waiting attentively while Rivadeneira completed official paperwork at an immigration office in Peru.
Footage broadcast by the show captured Parrado waiting patiently for Rivadeneira until she finished her administrative tasks. The pair then travelled together in the SUV to another location in the capital.
The ATV broadcast originally nicknamed Parrado as the influencer's driver before uncovering his identity. Show host Magaly Medina revealed that Parrado is a topographer by profession who currently works as a model, fitness enthusiast, surfer, and digital content creator for a Venezuelan singer.
Previous sightings and social media posts
The investigative report noted that Rivadeneira and Parrado were previously seen together in early July. The pair collaborated during a relief drive to collect food and essential supplies for victims of an earthquake in Venezuela.
At the time, Rivadeneira posted short video stories on her official Instagram account highlighting how pleasant it was to travel as a co-pilot in her SUV. However, she deliberately avoided tagging Parrado in the posts to keep his identity hidden from the public.
Street meal purchase sparks relationship speculation
Details from the broadcast showed that after concluding her afternoon appointment at the government immigration building, Rivadeneira went directly to buy street food set meals. Observers noted that she purchased two meals, seemingly intending one for herself and one for her driver and companion.
Rivadeneira appeared visibly nervous on camera after realizing that television crews were recording her movements. Minutes later, Parrado stepped out of the truck wearing dark sunglasses, looked both ways, and purchased a meal for himself.
Medina pointed out on air that Rivadeneira was not splitting expenses equally with Parrado in the 50/50 manner she previously practiced during her high-profile relationship with Peruvian race car driver Mario Hart.
The television host questioned the nature of their connection, noting that if Parrado were strictly working as a driver, Rivadeneira would typically have bought his food. Because Parrado paid for his own meal, Medina suggested that a closer personal relationship may exist between the two.
Background on public figures and television network
Rivadeneira is a Venezuelan model, actress, and influencer who established her career in Peruvian television, appearing on major reality competition shows. She was previously married to Mario Hart, a prominent Peruvian racing driver, singer, and television personality, with whom she shared ownership of the vehicle.
