Former Argentine First Lady Fabiola Yáñez denied the accusations against her. One of the biggest scandals during her administration was the celebration of her birthday in 2020, amidst strict quarantine. During her time as First Lady in 2022, her son Francisco Fernández Yáñez was born. In 2024, she reported Alberto Fernández for gender violence after the Justice found messages detailing episodes of aggression at the Quinta de Olivos.
Fabiola Yáñez now works as a reporter for the OK Diario portal, where she recently covered an event at the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid. Her return to journalism came after participating in an event for the Spanish media, publicly appearing for the first time since Alberto Fernández's term ended, with whom she shared her administration at the Casa Rosada from 2019 to 2023.
Before being First Lady, Yáñez, born in Villa Regina, Río Negro, had a career in journalism and entertainment. She studied journalism at the University of Palermo and acting with recognized professionals. She debuted on television as a children's host and worked in radio and television in Rosario. She also participated in theater, audiovisual productions, and was part of the Argentine correspondence for Telemundo.
In 2018, she joined the panel of Incorrectas, the program hosted by Moria Casán on América TV, in addition to being a columnist on Radio 10 and starring in theatrical productions. After six years away from private employment, she reappeared in Spain alongside Manuel Wirtz. In 2020, she assumed the role of honorary president of the National Bank Foundation.
The relationship between Fabiola Yáñez and Alberto Fernández began in 2014, resulting in a restraining order and prohibition for the former president from leaving the country. The leak of a photo from the event triggered a political crisis, forcing Fernández to publicly apologize.
