Back Together Again!
Fans of the hit Netflix series Élite were thrilled as Manu Ríos and André Lamoglia, who captured hearts as the beloved Patrick Blanco and Iván Carvalho, reunited in sunny Cancun, Mexico.
This get-together was all the more special since Ríos departed the show at the end of its sixth season, marking the end of their characters’ romantic saga on-screen.

Still Friends Off-Screen
While their on-screen romance has concluded, Ríos and Lamoglia continue to share a strong friendship. The duo attended the afterparty for the Premios Platino 2024, where Ríos had the honor of presenting the Best First Fiction Film award. Photographs from the event show the actors with beaming smiles, donned in silky shirts and shimmering gold chains, epitomizing style and camaraderie.
A Fond Farewell
Despite Ríos’s departure, poignantly marked by a voiceover in Élite season 7, where his character Patrick bids farewell to Iván, the actors’ real-life reunion offers some solace to fans. Lamoglia will continue his role through the upcoming final eighth season of Élite, while Ríos will appear in a new Netflix medical drama, Respira.
