On June 17, one of the most beloved reality shows on Colombian television began: MasterChef Celebrityin which 22 entertainment personalities from the country, including actors, singers, comedians and athletes.

The actor shares a family with the model and presenter Catalina Gómez, who also participated in the cooking reality show, in the first season of the show, taking an honorable third place.
One of the moments that caught the most attention on the day of the launch of this new season was the effusive hug between Juan Pablo Llano and the young actress Ilena Antonini, who is the daughter of the actress Morella Zuleta.
Well, this friendship is not just a few years old, but it goes back years when both actors were very young.
It turns out that Llano has been friends with Morella Zuleta for years, when they were both part of a television production, so he met Ilena when she was very young.
“21 years ago I met Morella, Ilenia’s mother, in a soap opera that we did together, so we became very good friends along with my wife ‘Cata’. So I’ve known Ilenia since she was a baby and she stayed at my house,” said the Antioquian actor.
On the other hand, the young actress said that Llano and her mother ‘played’ a lot and that they spent many moments of friendship in which she was always present.
That is why that effusive hug is now given in the contest in which they find themselves 21 years later but this time for compete to prove who is the best cook.
In the episode last Saturday, June 22, they had to compete head to head and it was Llano’s dish that the judges chose as the best, so Ilenia has to return to her station to compete in a salvation challenge.
However, Llano will surely continue giving Ilenia advice given the great connection they have.
