Rumored reasons for Christian Nodal and Belinda's separation

While neither of the two singers disclosed the reason behind their breakup, several publications have alleged Belinda's financial discrepancies as the primary cause behind their separation. Numerous local gossip portals reported that the couple separated after Belinda allegedly asked Christian Nodal to lend her $4 million for the purpose of paying off her debts to the Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT).

As per the Mexican program Gossip No Like, Nodal's lawyers reportedly found out that Belinda Peregrín Schüll owed around $500,000 and not $4 million. According to the local publications, this allegedly caused many constraints between the two artists.
