INTRODUCTION
Spain’s most beloved creative power couple, Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, known worldwide as Los Javis have ended their 13-year romantic relationship. But in a rare show of maturity, unity, and artistic devotion, the duo has confirmed that while the romance is over, the creative partnership that defined a generation of queer Spanish storytelling is here to stay.
The breakup stunned fans across the globe. After all, Los Javis weren’t just boyfriend,s they were cultural architects. Their storytelling reshaped Spain’s LGBTQ+ representation with iconic projects like Veneno, Paquita Salas, La Llamada, and Drag Race España.
And yet, even heartbreak couldn’t pull apart the powerhouse duo responsible for some of the decade’s most meaningful queer narratives.
THE RISE OF LOS JAVIS: FROM FACEBOOK FLIRT TO CULTURAL ICONS
Before the Emmy nominations, before HBO, before they became the heart of drag culture in Spain, it all started with a DM.
Back in 2012, Ambrossi messaged Calvo on Facebook with what he later admitted was a soft flirt disguised as admiration. The message blossomed into a romance and eventually into the most influential creative partnership in modern Spanish media.
They weren’t just lovers.
They were co-writers. Co-directors. Co-visionaries.
Their creative chemistry led to early hits like the stage musical La Llamada and the Netflix sensation Paquita Salas. But it was the 2020 series Veneno that catapulted them into international acclaim, cementing their legacy as the leading storytellers of Spanish queer experience.

THE BREAKUP: QUIET, MATURE, AND MONTHS IN THE MAKING
Though fans only learned of the split recently, Spanish outlets report that the breakup actually happened months ago.
Neither Calvo nor Ambrossi has commented publicly—they’ve chosen grace over spectacle.
Sources say the split was:
- private,
- amicable,
- and handled with extraordinary respect.
No public statements.
No cryptic Instagram captions.
No messy unfollowing spree.
Just two men choosing their peace.

LOS JAVIS REFUSE TO LET HEARTBREAK STOP THEIR ART
Despite the emotional turbulence, both have continued working side-by-side as if nothing had changed. Their production company, Suma Content, remains fully intact.
They are currently collaborating on their most ambitious film yet: La Bola Negra, inspired by the work of Federico García Lorca.
Even during filming with high-profile stars like Penélope Cruz, Glenn Close, and Miguel Bernardeau, crew members reportedly said Los Javis were “working better together than ever.”
Break up the romance? Yes.
Break up the empire? Absolutely not.

A BREAKUP STORY WITHOUT DRAMA? ACTUALLY… YES.
In a media world driven by chaos, Los Javis are proof that a breakup doesn’t need to be a spectacle.
They attended the film’s wrap party together.
They addressed the cast as a united front.
They continue showing up as collaborators, partners, and creative equals.
Their split shows:
- emotional intelligence,
- mutual respect,
- artistic commitment,
- and a genuine love that transcends labels.
This is not a downfall.
This is a new chapter.

FANS REACT: SUPPORT, HEARTBREAK & ENDLESS GRATITUDE
When news broke, fans expressed a mix of sadness and awe. Comments flooded social media:
“They defined queer storytelling in Spain. Their love made art. Their breakup won’t change that.”
“This is the healthiest breakup I’ve ever seen. Legends.”
“Los Javis aren’t over. The relationship transformed, not disappeared.”
Despite the emotional sting, fans remain united, grateful for what the pair has created and excited for what comes next.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR LOS JAVIS? THE FUTURE LOOKS HUGE
Even post-breakup, the duo is booked, busy, and unstoppable.
Confirmed upcoming work:
- La Bola Negra (2025 release expected)
- More seasons of Drag Race España
- New Suma Content productions
- Untitled future theatrical projects
- Potential international collaborations
Their artistic synergy continues, untouched by the end of their romantic chapter.
EVEN WITHOUT THE RELATIONSHIP, THE LEGACY LIVES ON
Some couples separate and never speak again.
Los Javis separate and keep building worlds.
Their personal relationship may have ended, but the universe they created—one filled with queer joy, trans storytelling, humor, and heart continues stronger than ever.
Fans aren’t losing Los Javis.
They’re simply meeting the next version of themselves.
CONCLUSION
Breakups are hard.
Breakups in the public eye are harder.
Breakups after 13 years? Nearly impossible.
But Los Javis have proven that love doesn’t always disappear it simply evolves. What they built together isn’t gone; it’s just transformed.
And if their past work is any indication, their future will be nothing short of extraordinary.
