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.

Cuban telenovela star Pedro Moreno breaks silence on fight with wife after Miami-Dade jail release
Pedro Moreno, a Cuban actor known for his telenovela roles, was released from a Miami-Dade jail Thursday overnight after a judge found no probable cause for the strongarm robbery charge he was arrested on, stemming from a domestic dispute with his wife. Moreno, 44, was taken into custody late Wednesday at the couple's home in the 3800 block of SW 150th Ct. in Miami-Dade. He had been accused of forcibly taking his wife's cellphone during an argument, prompting the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office to charge him with strongarm robbery, a second-degree felony. But during a bond hearing Thursday, a judge instead found probable cause for a misdemeanor battery charge and set bond at $1,000. Moreno was ordered to pay 10% of that amount and will be supervised through pretrial services. Miami-Dade judge allows contact for parenting purposes The judge also issued a modified stay-away order, allowing Moreno to attend his children's activities despite restrictions on contact with his wife. His wife appeared virtually during the hearing and testified that the couple, married for 17 years and currently undergoing an uncontested divorce, had joint custody of their three children, ages 11, 17, and 21. She described the incident as a one-time occurrence, saying Moreno had never been violent with her before and had been a good husband and father. She also stated she would like the case to be dismissed. Incident involved cellphone struggle The arrest report states the argument began when Moreno was using his wife's phone and allegedly "snooping" through it, which sparked a dispute over possible infidelities. When his wife demanded her phone back, a struggle ensued, and Moreno allegedly took the phone, valued at approximately $250, from her hands. The couple's oldest daughter witnessed the incident and allowed her mother to use her phone to call police. The report notes no injuries were reported, and Moreno returned the phone before officers arrived. After being read his Miranda rights, he gave what the sheriff's office called a "self-serving statement." Pedro Moreno speaks out after Miami-Dade jail release Speaking to reporters as he left jail, Moreno asked for the media to refer to the official affidavit and to avoid speculation. "Whatever my wife said is the truth. Read the affidavit — don't add a word, don't take a word out," he said in Spanish early Friday. "The situation between my wife and me, and our conversations, show that we are a real couple — like many couples — who have arguments, happy times, and moments of crisis." "She made decisions that had consequences. Now I'm making decisions that will also have consequences for the future of our relationship. What happens from now on will be up to the two of us, with the affection we still have for each other — and for the good of our kids," the actor added. Moreno has appeared in popular telenovelas including El Rostro de Analía, Una familia con suerte and Me declaro culpable.
