Manuela Ochoa ‘s life took an unexpected turn in a matter of days. The influencer and content creator, widely followed on social networks, announced the sudden death of her boyfriend and fiancé, Pedro Cadahía, just five days after making their engagement public. The news, communicated by herself through Instagram, has generated a deep shock among her followers and in the digital environment, where the couple was known for sharing a love story marked by travel, faith and the illusion of a common future.
The loss comes at a particularly painful time. Manuela and Pedro had planned to get married in October 2026 and had just sealed their engagement during a trip to Mexico, a very significant country for the influencer, where she had lived for years. It was precisely there where, in front of the Virgin of Guadalupe, they promised each other eternal love. Days later, without warning, Manuela’s life was split in two.
A farewell that has moved the networks
After several days of silence, Manuela Ochoa reappeared on her social networks to confirm the tragedy and publicly say goodbye to her fiancé with an emotionally charged letter. “One December 8 we promised to love each other all the days of our lives in front of our Virgin of Guadalupe at her home in Mexico. December 12, on her day, she decides to take you to heaven without notice,” wrote the influencer, giving shape to a message that was quickly filled with reactions and tokens of affection.

In her text, Manuela describes Pedro as an exceptional person, whose goodness seemed not to belong to this world. “There are people who are so very holy that they are not made for this world. And you, my love, are undoubtedly one of those people. How lucky heaven to receive an angel like you,” continues the letter, which has been shared and commented on by thousands of people.
The content creator doesn’t hide the bewilderment or grief at the loss. “What am I going to do without you? To be honest, I don’t know. I admit that all this is a bit big for me, I don’t know how to live without you,” she confesses, in one of the most heartbreaking fragments of the message. Even so, the influencer finds comfort in the promise they both made to each other and in the faith that has marked their relationship.
A love built over the years
The story of Manuela Ochoa and Pedro Cadahía was neither recent nor superficial. It was a relationship forged over time, from youth to adulthood, growing together and consolidating a common project. In her social networks, Manuela had shared since the summer of 2022 images of trips, celebrations and everyday moments with Pedro, whom she once defined simply as “my person”.
Traveling was one of the couple’s great passions. Luxembourg, Menorca or different corners of Mexico were part of a vital journey that the influencer was documenting with naturalness and joy. In one of her last messages before the tragedy, Manuela wrote: “Mexico lindo y querido. The magical towns of Mexico have something special”, accompanied by images in which both appeared smiling and carefree.
That trip had special significance. In addition to attending the wedding of a close friend, the couple got engaged on December 8. Manuela bragged about her ring and happiness, never imagining that it would be their last trip together.
The impact of an unexplained loss
Pedro Cadahía’s death was completely unexpected. Manuela herself explained that it occurred “without notice”, a circumstance that has intensified the pain and disbelief. After the death, the influencer took several days to reappear publicly, a silence that many interpreted as the need to assimilate a difficult reality to assume.
When she finally spoke, she did so from honesty and vulnerability. “I have learned that what has happened has no explanation no matter how much I ask myself why, but it does have an answer: love,” she wrote, making it clear that her way of dealing with grief is deeply tied to her faith and the conviction that the bond with Peter transcends earthly life.
In another fragment of the letter, Manuela recalls a message that Pedro had written to her some time before: “If you get to heaven by loving, I’ll get there for sure because you don’t know how much I love you”. For her, those words now take on an even deeper meaning.
The support of friends, family and supporters
Since the news broke, Manuela Ochoa has received an avalanche of messages of support. Friends, family and well-known faces of the digital world have not hesitated to show their affection in one of the most difficult moments of her life. The influencer has publicly thanked all these signs of affection, highlighting the importance of feeling accompanied in the midst of pain.
“You don’t know the mess you’ve made down here, the people who are praying for you; thank you for sending me so many hugs through all the people we adore,” she wrote in her farewell message. In the same message, Manuela reflects on the mark Pedro left on those around him, even tenderly recalling the 270 guests they had planned for their wedding.
Moving forward with memory intact
Despite the suffering, Manuela Ochoa closes her letter with a declaration of strength and commitment to life. “Now it’s my turn to live for two, it’s my turn to move forward for you, for us, and I promise to do it as we always did,” she states, making it clear that Pedro’s memory will be a permanent guide on her path.
The influencer acknowledges feeling lucky to have lived such a deep love. “How many people leave this world without knowing what real love is in any of its forms, and I have had the immense luck to live it every day since I’ve been with you,” she writes, claiming the value of a relationship that, although truncated, marked her life indelibly.
