The Challenge US star Nurys Mateo has accused her ex-boyfriend Horacio Gutiérrez of cheating, months after confirming their breakup.
Nurys shared a TikTok over the weekend claiming a former partner had been unfaithful. She alleged he had been getting to know another woman while still telling her he loved her.
“Best part of being cheated on is that it’s not my loss,” she wrote.
Although Nurys didn’t name Horacio in the video, her replies to fans appeared to confirm she was referring to him.
The accusations have renewed interest in their breakup. Nurys previously declined to explain why the relationship ended, and Horacio has yet to publicly respond to her claims.
What did The Challenge’s Nurys say about Horacio?
Nurys didn’t hold back when fans started questioning her TikTok.
One viewer struggled to believe Horacio could have cheated, prompting Nurys to reply, “I was just as shocked!”
“Especially because you should hear how he judges everyone else,” she added.
Another fan was hoping the former couple would reunite, but Nurys wasn’t having it.
“Please don’t pray for my downfall like that,” she responded. “I just dodged that bullet.”
She also insisted she had loved Horacio with everything she had, suggesting the alleged betrayal had taken her by surprise.
Fellow Challenge contestant Cara Maria Sorbello joined the discussion, commenting, “Ooop, she said she’s done protecting him now.”
Why did Nurys and Horacio split after The Challenge?
Nurys and Horacio began dating in 2023 after growing close while filming The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion.
Their romance continued into Season 40, Battle of the Eras, where they competed as an official couple.
However, fans began suspecting trouble in summer 2025 after noticing changes to their social media activity.
Nurys eventually confirmed their breakup in February 2026 but refused to explain what had happened.
She also criticised followers who repeatedly questioned her about the relationship, asking them to respect her privacy.
During an August 2026 interview with TV Insider, Nurys revealed that her fellow contestants had supported her while filming Season 42.
She said she still wasn’t comfortable discussing the reason behind the breakup, even when other cast members asked.
