Maria Meneses and Eduardo Baeza: Breakup After 14 Years and Changes in the Singer’s Life. Maria Meneses, known as Nena Daconte, has announced her separation from Eduardo Baeza. After 14 years of marriage and two children, the singer openly talks about changes, personal transformation, and a new perspective on herself.
There is a new topic of discussion in Spanish show business: María Meneses, better known to the public as Nena Daconte, has officially confirmed her separation from her husband Eduardo Baeza. The couple, whose story spanned 14 years and who have two sons together, are now going their separate ways. This decision by the singer has become one of the most talked-about subjects in recent days, as a whole layer of personal changes and internal decisions lies behind the restrained tone of her statement.
Personal transformation
As Divinity notes, the changes in María's life began long before the official announcement of the divorce. At the beginning of 2025, the artist admitted that she had left behind a difficult period related to addiction, and that she has not consumed alcohol for more than a year. This stage was not easy for her, but it became the starting point for a profound transformation. With therapy, the support of loved ones, and her own willpower, María not only managed to overcome her difficulties, but also to reassess her attitude toward herself and the world.
In an interview with Gemma Nierga, the singer shared that she feels stronger than ever. She decided to give up her stage name Mai, calling it a “mask”, and return to her true self—María. This step symbolized a return to herself, to the qualities she felt close to in childhood, and a desire to live without unnecessary roles.
Divorce and public acknowledgment
Maria announced her decision to separate from Eduardo Baeza on Instagram, where she still uses the stage name Nena Daconte. In a brief but meaningful message, she made it clear that the initiative came from her. Despite the breakup, the singer stressed that although she and her ex-husband are now going their separate ways, they will always be there for their children. Her words also hinted that not everyone around her accepted this decision with understanding—Maria openly admits she is once again going against the grain and is not afraid to be a 'rebel.'
The singer did not disclose the details behind the breakup, leaving space for speculation and discussion. However, the tone of her statement made it clear: this was not a spontaneous gesture, but the result of a long inner journey and the desire to be honest with herself.
A new outlook on herself
The changes affected not only Maria's personal life but also her appearance. She stopped dyeing her hair, choosing natural silver strands. According to the singer, this is not just a fashion statement, but a conscious act of freedom and self-acceptance. Maria wryly notes that after years of trying to 'cheat time' and hide her age, she decided to allow herself to be authentic—even if it does not always meet with approval from others.
In her publications, the artist emphasizes that it is now important for her to live in the moment, not pay attention to others' opinions, and learn to love herself as she is. She speaks openly about accepting her age, changes in appearance, and the new meanings she finds in each day. For many fans, this candid tone came as a surprise, but it is precisely what made Maria's story one of the most talked-about in the Spanish celebrity press.
Context and response
Maria Meneses and Eduardo Baeza married in 2011, and their sons Eddy and Manolete were born in 2012 and 2015. Throughout their marriage, the couple rarely featured in major scandals, preferring to keep their private life out of the spotlight. However, the current separation and the singer's openness to change have sparked a wave of support and interest on social media. Many note that Maria's story is not just about divorce, but about finding oneself, accepting change, and learning to walk one's own path despite the expectations of others.
