Famous actor reveals shocking marriage secrets as he's arrested over bizarre argument with wife
A famous actor was jailed over a fight with his wife - then salaciously accused her of cheating on him as he was freed on bail.
Pedro Moreno, 44, was arrested Wednesday evening after he argued with Bárbara Estévez, his wife of 17 years.
The Spanish-language soap opera actor received permission from Estevez to use her cellular phone and then reportedly began 'snooping', with a fight exploding after he allegedly uncovered texts suggesting his wife had been unfaithful.
Moreno refused to hand over the cellphone to Estevez as tensions flared inside their residence.
Their oldest daughter then passed her mobile phone over to her mother, who called 911 before Moreno gave up the phone before the police arrived.
The popular actor, who is in the process of divorcing Estévez, spoke to reporters in Spanish as he walked out of the Miami-Dade jail after paying a $1,000 bail bond.
'What my wife said is correct, read the affidavit, don't add one more word, don't add one less word, the situation between my wife and I,' Moreno said.
'And the conversations show that we are a real couple, like many couples, who have arguments and have moments of happiness and moments of crisis.'
Cuban actor Pedro Moreno was released from a Miami jail Friday after paying a $1,000 bond following a fight with his wife earlier this week. The 44-year-old Spanish-language television soap opera star appeared to have hinted he and his wife are in the middle of a divorce over an infidelity
Moreno appeared to have hinted that both had made mistakes that led to the breakup of their marriage, but didn't spell out whether he'd cheated too.
'She made decisions that had consequences, and I made decisions that also have consequences for the future of our relationship,' he said.
'What happens from now on will be determined by her and me, with the love we obviously have for each other and for the sake of our children.'
Estévez appeared in an online court hearing and asked the judge to dismiss the battery charge that Moreno is facing.
'I didn't know that by calling, they would have to do a full investigation and basically take him in, otherwise I would've never called because he was never violent,' she said.
'Is there any way of dismissing the case? He's not a violent person. we've never had an issue like this before.'
Moreno and Estévez share the custody of three children, 11, 17 and 21.
'We're going to handle it the way we always have. We're in a world of adults. This is not about blame,' Moreno said.
'What we decide from here on out is our problem. She's an excellent woman, she always has been, an excellent mother. I love her a lot. She's always supported me. And this is simply out in the media because it escalated in a way it didn't have to.'
Moreno was born in Havana and has appeared in the soap operas, Cosita Linda, Voltea pa' que te enamores, Me declaro culpable and Amores que engañan.

Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper head out on double date in New York with stunning girlfriends Ines de Ramon and Gigi Hadid
BRAD Pitt and Bradley Cooper headed out on a double date in New York with their stunning girlfriends, Ines de Ramon and Gigi Hadid, last night. Brad, 61, held hands with Ines, 32, as they stepped out in Manhattan before meeting up with Bradley, 50, and Gigi, 30, for dinner at the exclusive COTE Korean Steakhouse. 7 Oscar winner Brad turned heads in a shiny lavender silk shirt, left partly unbuttoned to reveal some chest hair, teamed with black velvet trousers and glossy square-toed shoes. He topped off the eye-catching look with oversized metal-framed sunglasses and his new buzzcut - a nod to his Fight Club character Tyler Durden. The shirt also echoed the lilac suit Brad wore in Mexico City earlier in the week while promoting his upcoming Formula 1 film, F1. Ines stunned in a ruched beige minidress that sat off the shoulder and showed off her hourglass figure. She paired the look with a beige quilted handbag and open-toe stilettos. The couple were seen exiting a Midtown building shortly after Brad was forced to deny speculation that he's using his relationship with Ines to generate publicity for F1. Ocean's Eleven star Brad, who recently finalised his acrimonious divorce with actress ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 49, has been dating jewelry designer Ines since 2022. They made their red carpet debut together last September for the premiere of his movie Wolfs at the Venice Film Festival. Brad and Bradley are longtime friends, with the American Hustle star playing a key role in Pitt's sobriety journey. After Bradley's 2019 split from supermodel Irina Shayk, Pitt made an overture by whisking him off to watch the LA Philharmonic orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl. Brad Pitt suffers huge blow in messy $20.5m legal fight with Hurricane Katrina victims after star sued over shoddy homes A source told The Sun: 'They have been busy juggling work with tricky family situations this year, and finally they have some time to themselves to hang out and be there for each other. 'Both Brads had the best night being away from the normal Hollywood crowd, but they still stopped to talk to a few industry friends in the audience. 'They were sipping sparkling water and chatting. 'They can't go out partying like they used to back in the day because they've quit boozing, so they chose a venue where they could stay out of trouble and relax. 'They won't be out chatting up women any time soon, but they are both single for the first time in over a decade. "They'll be good wingmen for each other when the time is right.' 7 7 7 7

Nintendo Switch 2 is THE fastest-selling console of all time – it's worth upgrading for major new game and Joy-Con trick
Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor Published: Invalid Date, NINTENDO Switch 2 - it's the game console everyone is talking about. People queued overnight to get hold of the latest gadget and it's now sold out in many stores. 5 5 Nintendo has revealed that more than 3.5million units have been sold worldwide in the first four days since launch. This makes it the company's fastest selling debut ever - but experts say it's also the fastest selling console of all time too. As The Sun's Assistant Technology and Science Editor I had the privilege to get a taster of the Switch 2 weeks before general release in a top secret event - but that experience only scratched the surface. I received a Switch 2 to review just before general release and have been playing away at it ever since. And I can wholeheartedly say it is well worth upgrading for. While there is a lot of familiar elements, the Switch 2 feels like a natural, big, fitting, fresh-faced sibling to the first Switch. There is nothing radically different about the new console - and rightly so, the Switch is a great piece of kit that deserves evolution over revolution. Here's how I found my first week with the Switch 2. Setting up Getting started with the Switch 2 is pretty easy even if you already own a Switch. In fact, you can transfer any games and the save data from your first Switch to the new one, so long as they're both connected to Wi-Fi and they're close by. The user interface looks practically the same, with a few additions like GameChat. Using GameChat The ability to chat with friends in video form seems like a natural way forward for Nintendo in the ever-growing world of online gaming. GameChat makes that possible with supported games - and it can be enjoyed for free without a Nintendo Switch Online subscription by everyone until the end of March 2026. Nintendo has its own camera accessory which you can buy separately but "typical third-party cameras should also work," the firm says. I managed to give it a go on the new Mario Kart World game with a group of other journalists eager to try it all out. Everything we know so far about the Nintendo Switch 2 Quality will obviously depend on your broadband connection but in our game of four we took the wild Mario racer title to the next level, with the ability to cheer - or yell - at each other as we competed for that unpredictable finish line. It adds a whole new layer of excitement to what is already a pretty thrilling game - and it's amusing to see our heads bobbing around above our cars, as well as giving me a better idea of who I should target with my weapons. There are lots of pretty tight safety controls for GameChat too, many of which can be accessed in the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app. 5 Mario Kart World I don't want this to descend into a Mario Kart World review, but this is a key launch title after all. Aside from GameChat I'm loving new features like the ability to free roam, playing loads of mini games along the way, it's something Nintendo continues to do so well. Mario Kart World is also an opportunity for me to talk about the graphic and performance improvements too. There is a noticeable huge boost to the visuals here making everything appear super clear. The handheld Switch 2 has a larger 1080p screen which looks gorgeous and you can play in up to 4K resolution when docked to a TV with frame rates up to 120 fps. Joy-Con 5 The Joy-Cons are arguably the biggest hardware upgrade. Gone are those fiddly silde-in controllers and now it's all magnetic. They snap into place with ease and come off simply by pressing a button on the back. What's more, your old Joy-Cons from the first Switch need not gather dust in a draw. You can connect these too for when you're playing in groups, as I did with Mario Kart World when I had friends over. I'm glad Nintendo is making an effort to keep older kit supported where possible, rather than fleecing people out of money to buy new extra Joy-Cons. You can even use the Joy-Cons as a mouse, with some mini-games to test it on in the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour and I absolutely loved. THE DOWNSIDES For all it's glory, there are some downsides to the Switch 2 - though some will be addressed soon. Firstly, the lack of launch title exclusives. As much as I love Mario Kart World, it was the only big new game to come for the Switch 2 - the other, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, doesn't really count as it's a bit of a taster to get used to the console. The next big title to come is Donkey Kong Bananza in July. My other gripe is the cost for games now too, with the Mario Kart World coming in at £66.99 for the digital download alone. And finally, battery. Nintendo says you can expect to get approximately two to 6.5 hours out of the Switch 2, which aligns with my experience testing the console. This is a drop from the Switch OLED with approximately 4.5 to nine hours. Verdict The shortcomings listed above are pretty limited. On the whole, the Switch 2 is a worthy successor of an already great console. Nintendo proves once again that you don't need fancy graphics and huge cinematic games to make a good console. All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed. Always do your own research before making any purchase.
