Love Is Blind<\/a>: Argentina cast member Santiago Mart\u00ednez has been jailed for 15 years after attempting to murder his ex, who he married on the series.<\/p>\n

Santiago was sentenced on Wednesday 25th March for\u00a0 attempted murder, repeated assault, and unlawful detention.<\/p>\n

He was part of the 2024 series of Love Is Blind: Argentina where he coupled up with Emily Ceco, with the pair getting married in a civil ceremony during the finale.<\/p>\n

The pair had been planning to get married again in a more intimate setting, however in February 2025, Emily reported Santiago for gender-based violence after a black eye and ended up calling off their engagement.<\/p>\n

Santiago was issued a restraining order to prevent him from approaching Emily in public by the courts, and he was removed from Love Is Blind: Argentina after the allegations became public.<\/p>\n

Emily has since broken her silence on his 15 year sentence, stating: “I can’t believe it. I feel it’s over, I’m finally going to have peace. Justice has been done.”<\/p>\n

She reflected on seeing Santiago during the reading of his sentence, recalling: “My whole body was shaking. I was terrified. During his statement, he apologised and said he still loved me.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t respond, but my brother went too far and told him, ‘If you loved her so much, why did you almost kill her? You beat her up – coward.'”<\/p>\n

Emily added: “I have 15 years of peace ahead. I don’t know what will happen when he gets out, but I hope the justice system continues to protect me. If he tried to kill me when I gave him everything, I can’t imagine what he might do to me or my family after 15 years of anger.”<\/p>\n
