A former Love is Blind: Argentina star has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after attempting to k!ll his ex-wife. In 2024 Santiago Martnez became engaged to Emily Ceco (both pictured above) after meeting on the reality dating series. They then tied the knot in a civil ceremony and had been planning to remarry in a ceremony when Ceco ended their relationship in February 2025. She had alleged that Martnez had physically abused her and given her a black eye. He later went on to be charged with attempted murdr, repeated assault, and unlawful detention, as reported by People. Following his sentencing, Ceco was interviewed on the Argentine public broadcast station Televisin Pblica, during which she recalled Martnez choking her and smothering her with a pillow to prevent her from breathing. She told the hosts he refused to let her leave, so she ran away and filed a complaint. Speaking during the broadcast, Ceco said multiple times that he “tried to k!ll me”. After hearing that he had been sentenced to 15 years behind bars, Ceco explained how shed “instantly burst into tears”. “My body was shaking. I felt like I had taken a backpack off my shoulders and that I was going to have peace after a long time. I was going to be able to sleep and continue with my lifeand be able to enjoy life like I fought for,” she shared. During his trial, Martnez had shared posts on social media in which he denied hed tried to k!ll his ex-wife. “The first thing I want to say is that I do not justify violence in any way, and I was the first to acknowledge my mistake and to apologise privately, and today I take responsibility for what I did,” he said in a since-deleted post. “But that does not mean I take responsibility for trying to k!ll the woman I loved.” After the sentencing was announced, Ceco shared a statement on Instagram as well, in which she said she was “still trying to understand everything”. “Its not just a closureis to remove a story that marked me deeply. There were days of so much fear, of feeling lost, of not knowing how to go on. And there was also something in me that, even in the darkest moments, chose not to give up. “But I wasnt alone. And thats what I feel the strongest today. Thank you to my family, for holding me even when I couldnt hold myself. Thank you to every person who wrote to me, who hugged me with words, who didnt let go of me. Thanks to those who, without knowing me, chose to accompany me anyway. And especially, thank you to my attorneys, for walking through this process with me, for delivering, for patience, and for never giving up on me.” She continued: “This doesnt erase the experience. But today I feel like a part of my story was heard. I still healing, more aware, stronger, and deeply grateful. Today my life begins anew.”The post Love Is Blind star jailed for 15 years after trying to murdr ex-wife appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
