Víctor Janeiro has finally spoken about how Belén Esteban’s TV career affected his family, doing so on Supervivientes All Stars 3. His blunt words, along with Rosa Benito’s fierce criticism, have reignited a feud just as Esteban returns to Telecinco.
Víctor Janeiro didn’t dodge the subject. On Supervivientes All Stars 3, he sat down with Rubén Torres and laid out how his brother Jesulín de Ubrique’s relationship with Belén Esteban changed everything. He was direct: “Belén took advantage of the momentum and got on television thanks to my brother. She’s always been against us, and it’s still the same today.” For Víctor, the family’s private life became public property overnight.
He didn’t stop there. Víctor said Esteban’s two decades on TV talking about Jesulín have “made her a millionaire, for sure.” The fallout, he insisted, hit the whole Janeiro family. Still, he drew a line: “We always kept to ourselves and never got involved.” The Janeiros, he said, chose to stay quiet. Their name, though, became a regular headline in Spanish tabloids.
Belén Esteban's return to Telecinco was officially confirmed by the channel, marking her first major comeback after a break of more than three years.
Years of media pressure didn’t push the Janeiros to chase TV fame. Víctor made that clear. “We have always remained a united and humble family. Even now, after everything we’ve been through, nothing has changed.” He drew a sharp contrast between their approach and Esteban’s public style.
His comments landed at a tense moment. Esteban is back on Telecinco, giving an interview on ¡De Viernes!. Víctor didn’t know about her return. “When Sálvame ends, almost everyone dies there,” he said. He thought her TV run was over. Now, the timing of his words has only raised the stakes. The old story between Esteban and Jesulín is back on Spanish screens.
Rosa Benito, also in Honduras, didn’t hold back either. She and Esteban were once close on Sálvame. That’s over. Benito said, “When I don’t like something or it hurts me, I cut it off and go my own way. That person brings me nothing.” The break came after Esteban criticized Benito’s daughter, Rosario Mohedano. For Benito, that was unforgivable: “She hurt me once, not twice. She touched my daughter, and for me, just as you can’t touch hers, you can’t touch mine.”
Esteban's interview on Telecinco became a major television event, drawing around 1.13 million viewers and an 18.7% audience share, according to Mediaset ratings. Spanish media highlight that this surge in viewership reflects the enduring public fascination with the conflict between the Janeiro family and Esteban, making it one of the most prominent tabloid TV stories of 2026.
Benito’s tone turned even sharper. “She is very bad. I know many people know who she is, but talking about her disgusts me. She makes me nauseous. I see her as envious, which is the worst thing a human can be.” Still, Benito insisted she’s never spilled Esteban’s secrets. She hinted there’s plenty she could say: “If I have cried on your shoulder, you have cried on mine, and maybe I have seen more of you than you of me.”
While Víctor and Benito spoke from Honduras, Esteban’s Telecinco comeback has pulled the Janeiro-Esteban feud back into the public eye. The story, once fading, is front and center again. Spanish viewers can’t look away.
There’s another name in the mix now: Juls Janeiro, daughter of Jesulín de Ubrique and María José Campanario. Both Benito and Víctor praised her. Benito called her “a diamond in the rough.” Víctor said, “My brother has always been very spontaneous, and I think she has that too.” He urged Juls to keep speaking up: “She shouldn’t be afraid of anything or anyone.”
The Janeiros have refused to fight on TV. That’s their way. Esteban, on the other hand, built her career by making private matters public. This isn’t new in Spanish celebrity culture. Similar stories have played out before, as seen in reports about public figures facing personal and professional fallout.
Supervivientes All Stars 3 has put old wounds back on display. The Janeiros’ silence has kept them together. But it’s also let others tell their story. In Spanish celebrity TV, whoever controls the story often controls the outcome. The Janeiros’ choice—quiet, stubborn, private—doesn’t make headlines. But it’s kept their family together while the drama rolls on.
