Almost 14 years following their disagreement, this Saturday Mirtha Legrand and Julia Zenko put their past conflict aside and rekindled their friendship. The issue, which originated from the diva’s show, was resolved in the same setting, on Mirtha’s night (El Trece). In front of a table filled with various guests, including Luis Novaresio, Maria Eugenia Vidal, and Enrique Sacco, the host and the artist addressed the issue.
True to her style, Chiqui approached the singer in the initial minutes of the show and inquired regarding why you didn’t come to my show years ago. Faced with the awkward question, Zenko attempted to respond humorously: “Help, I have so many memories at your table, I visited many times.”
It was then that Legrand recalled the emotional encounter they had at the Teatro Colón. Recently, during an event, the artist touched the host by performing renditions of “Con las alas del alma” and “Honrar la vida”. During the first song, Mirtha listened while seated comfortably in an imperial chair. However, during the second song, she got up and held the singer’s hands. “That day was magical. We understand, After so many years of being at your table, there’s no need for explanations. And in that moment when I sang, we looked at each other,” Zenko recounted, while Legrand admitted to being moved to tears.
Likewise, the singer expressed her emotions at that moment and addressed their past conflict: “I felt the same way, as if you were telling me ‘wipe your tears.’ Something happened, and I am very grateful for that. Putting aside any other issues, the important thing is the emotional connection that music can create with another person.”
On her part, the host appreciated the singer’s gesture and praised her talent: “I truly value you, you sing beautifully. Your voice is gorgeous. It has not changed, the years have gone by yet you continue to sing wonderfully.”
Once the air was cleared, Chiqui inquired regarding the artist’s relationship status. Without divulging too much, Zenko responded: “I’m not alone. I’m not in a relationship. I am with myself, taking care of myself, loving myself, enjoying myself. I would like to have a friend over once or twice a week, who gives me massages, and watches movies. But nothing beyond that.”
However, Chiqui pressed for further information and mentioned: “You had two partners, right?” “Yes, I had more than two partners. I have two daughters, Laura is 40 years old. Sorry, daughter, but I have to say it. She’s a singer, actress, composer. And Elis, who is turning 35. One is in a relationship, while the other, by choice, remains single. We get along very well,” confessed the singer of “No quiero arrepentirme”.
In this manner, following almost 14 years, the host and the artist resolved their differences. It all began towards the end of 2010 when Chiqui was involved in a tense altercation with Federico Luppi, who had referred to her as ‘ignorant‘. This conflict led Zenko to decline Mirtha’s lunch invitation with the intention of showing support to the actor.
Although Legrand did not conceal her sadness over the situation, she commented at the time: “This confrontation saddens me. I don’t know where this is coming from. I’m not left-wing, I’m not right-wing. I’m in the middle and I stand for democracy.” Following this dispute, the singer did not return to the show. It was only in mid-2020 that the artist made an appearance at the table, but on that occasion, it was Juana Viale who welcomed her.

It was then that Legrand remembered the emotional meeting that both had at the Teatro Colón. Days ago, during an event, the artist had moved the host by performing a version of “Con las alas del alma” and “Honrar la vida”. During the first song, Mirtha followed the song sitting in the comfort of an imperial chair. But in the second song she decided to get up and take the artist by the hands. “What happened that day was magical. We know, So many years since I came to your table, there is no need to explain anything. And at that moment when I was singing, we looked at each other,” Zenko said, while Legrand admitted that he was moved to tears.
Acceptance and Gratitude
Similarly, the singer confessed what she felt at that moment and mentioned the old fight they had: “Me too, you were like saying ‘wipe your tears’. Something happened, and I’m very grateful for that. Leaving aside any other topic, the important thing is the loving connection that one can create through music with another person.”
For her part, the host was grateful for the singer’s gesture and praised her talent: “I really appreciate you, you sing wonderfully. You have a beautiful voice. It hasn’t changed, the years go by and you continue to sing wonderfully.”
Personal Insights and Relationship Status
Once the situation was cleared up, Chiqui asked the artist regarding her relationship status. Without giving too many clues, Zenko replied: “I’m not alone. I’m not in a relationship. I am with myself, I look at myself, I love myself, I take care of myself, I enjoy myself. I would like to, once or twice a week, have a friend who comes over, gives me massages, and goes to the movies. But more than that, no.”
However, Chiqui wanted to know more and said: “You had two partners, right?” “Yes, I had more than two partners. I have two daughters, Laura is 40 years old. Sorry daughter, but I have to say it. Singer, actress, composer. And Elis, who is going to turn 35. One is in a relationship, and the other, by her own decision, is single. We get along very well,” confessed the interpreter of “No quiero arrepentirme”.
Reconciliation After Years of Conflict

This conflict caused that, with the aim of supporting the actor, Zenko rejected Mirtha’s invitation to have lunch on her show.
Legrand did not hide his sadness at the situation, although at the time he said: “This confrontation hurts me. I don’t know if they give you lyrics, I don’t know where this comes from. I’m not left-wing, but mind you, I’m not right-wing either. I’m from the center and I love democracy.” After this conflict, the singer did not return to the program. It was not until mid-2020 that the artist visited the table, but on that occasion, the person who received her was Juana Viale.
