The breakup of Shantal Mayo and Héctor Herrera

Recently, the world of social media was shaken by the revelation from Shantal Mayo, the ex-partner of the Toluca footballer, about her separation from Héctor Herrera. Through an Instagram story, Shantal made the news official, mentioning that the decision to separate was mutual and that, despite having been separated for several months, they had waited some time to process it before making it public. They both share the parenthood of two children, which led fans and followers to express messages of support on social media.

Regarding Héctor Herrera's reaction, it was surprising to many. The footballer decided to limit himself to showing off his new sneakers in a story, which are part of an exclusive collection. He thanked the artist behind them and shared images of the all-white sneakers. Later, in another story, Herrera decided to repost a video from the Olympic Games account, which showed the 12 goals Mexico scored in London 2012, the year they won the gold medal.

After the announcement of the separation was published, both Shantal and Herrera hope that the topic will not continue to be publicly discussed. Although no details were given about the reasons for the separation, many have speculated about possible motives, including the scandals in which Herrera has been involved with the Mexican National Team as one of the reasons. In any case, the couple has decided to maintain discretion on this matter and move forward separately.
