On October 25, 2025, Leandro García Gómez, ex-boyfriend of singer Lourdes Fernández, known as Lourdes of Bandana, was detained and charged with 'unlawful deprivation of liberty,' a kidnapping-related offense.

In her post, Fernández described the situation as 'difficult, painful, and complicated.' She thanked fans and friends for their support in recent days and addressed concerns about her health amid the rumors.
