Skarleth Labra: Single After Split with Diego Bazaes & Addresses Pailita Rumors

Skarleth Labra, the newly crowned queen of the 2026 Viña del Mar Festival, confirmed this week that she is single. The Chilean influencer and student of journalism revealed the conclude of her relationship with urban singer Diego Bazaes in a TikTok live stream, sparking immediate conversation among fans and a fresh wave of speculation about her past relationships.

Labra’s announcement, reported by La Cuarta and Canal 13, was direct: “Chicos, yo estoy soltera y no estoy con nadie, ojalá me hablara alguien. Estoy más sola que nunca.” The statement, quickly picked up by entertainment outlets like Central Noticia, has ignited a flurry of social media activity.

A History of Public Relationships

This isn’t Labra’s first high-profile split. The 20-year-old alluded to a previous, very public breakup with singer Pailita when she was a teenager, referencing that she is “no longer the Skarleth of 17.” That earlier relationship, and its subsequent dissolution, played out extensively in the Chilean media, and the current announcement has inevitably brought those memories back to the surface. The comparison to her younger self suggests a desire to navigate this fresh single status with more maturity and control over the narrative.

Rumors and Rebuttals

Almost immediately after confirming her split from Bazaes, rumors began circulating about a possible reconciliation with Pailita. However, Pailita swiftly shut down those suggestions. According to reports, he stated, “¿De verdad ustedes creen que me metería a huear con alguien después de terminar una relación hace poco?” and emphasized his respect for his current partner, July, stating he “would never” pursue a relationship with Labra given their shared history and his current commitment. This quick denial appears to have been a deliberate attempt to quell speculation and avoid further fueling the narrative.

The Viña del Mar Spotlight

Labra’s recent coronation as the queen of the Viña del Mar Festival adds another layer to this story. The festival, a hugely popular event in Chile and Latin America, often catapults its winners to even greater fame. Being in the spotlight as a newly single celebrity inevitably amplifies the attention surrounding her personal life. The timing of the announcement, so soon after achieving this prestigious title, suggests a calculated move to control the narrative and present herself as independent and available.

Navigating Fame and Privacy

Labra’s comments – “Tranquilos merenguitos, que no voy a hablar nada” – indicate a reluctance to delve into the details of the breakup. This is a common strategy for public figures seeking to protect their privacy and avoid a protracted public dissection of their personal lives. Her statement, although acknowledging the public interest, also asserts a boundary, signaling that she intends to manage the flow of information on her own terms. This approach is particularly notable given her history with highly publicized relationships.

What’s Next for Skarleth Labra?

Labra is currently pursuing a degree in journalism, a path she’s consistently emphasized alongside her entertainment career. While her focus remains on her studies, her newfound single status and the visibility afforded by her Viña del Mar win will undoubtedly open doors to new opportunities. Her social media presence, particularly on TikTok, will likely remain a key platform for engaging with fans and shaping her public image. The immediate future will likely involve navigating the increased media attention and carefully selecting projects that align with her evolving brand.
