The reported arrest of Inés Gómez Mont in Florida, United States, has revived uncertainty about the future of her six minor children. The host and her husband, Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga, face legal proceedings in that country, and so far no public resolution has established formal custody of the children or child protection measures.
- Six children: four from her marriage to Javier Díaz (Inés and the triplets Javier, Diego and Bruno) and two from her relationship with Álvarez Puga (Bosco, born in 2015, and María, in 2018).
- Current care: available information indicates the minors would be under Álvarez Puga's care, though there are no official details about their location or the legal conditions of their care.
- Immigration process: the businessman was detained in September 2025 on an immigration matter, paid a bond to continue his case at liberty and has a hearing scheduled for November 2026.
Family situation in Miami
According to background reported in October 2025, the minors were in Miami under their mother's care, away from public exposure. The situation would have changed after Álvarez Puga was detained by U.S. immigration authorities in September of that year.
It was also reported that the children hold U.S. nationality, a relevant fact given the proceedings involving their parents in that country. With the new reports on Gómez Mont's situation, available information suggests the six children would be under the businessman's guardianship.
The family also included Víctor Manuel Jr., known as Mayito, son of Álvarez Puga and his former partner Marycarmen López. Although he shared part of his family life with Gómez Mont, he is not the host's biological son and, unlike the six minors, has been reported to remain under his biological mother's care.
Legal conflict with Javier Díaz
Another important antecedent is the legal conflict between the host and her first husband, Javier Díaz, over the four children they had together. In 2021 it emerged that Díaz was seeking legal advice to obtain custody of the minors. Concern for the children's whereabouts and well-being was raised at the time by Tita Bravo, the businessman's mother and Gómez Mont's former mother-in-law.
However, on July 1, 2024, journalist Vicky López reported on the program Todo para la mujer that the host had obtained an injunction related to the dispute. The reporter attributed the information to a source close to Gómez Mont and stated:
“Acaba de ganar, el viernes le dieron el amparo. Javier Díaz pidió la patria potestad de sus hijos pero ya la ganó Inés”.
No official resolution in sight
So far, U.S. authorities have not publicly announced any determination establishing a formal custody change or a protection measure for the minors. The businessman continues his immigration proceedings in the United States, with a hearing scheduled for November 2026, while reports place him in charge of the host's six children.
The combination of an open immigration process, a recent detention and a history of custody disputes keeps the children's future in uncertain territory. Any definition will depend on what U.S. authorities decide and, in parallel, on how the cases both adults face in Mexico evolve.
