The ‘Your Fault’ Controversy: What Happened Between Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara?

The Spanish actors who play Noah and Nick are facing feud rumors after the tension experienced leading up to the global premiere on Prime Video

Your Fault (‘Culpa Tuya’), the second part of My Fault (‘Culpa Mía’), the film adaptation of Mercedes Ron’s works, is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated sagas of the past year. It is the most-watched non-English-language film on Prime Video, and this second installment will be globally released on the platform on December 27.

However, something seems to overshadow this official launch on the platform: the alleged tension between its lead stars, Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara.

Nicole and Gabriel portray Noah and Nick, the young couple who fall in love throughout the trilogy. They transform a conflicted relationship into a beautiful story, although with many emotional obstacles. It seems that, in real life, it might have gone the other way.

Rumors had been circulating in recent months, but the presentation of the premiere in Madrid seems to have been the final straw. Spanish media reports significant tension between Wallace and Guevara: both posed with the author of the works and director of the film, Mercedes Ron. However, social media shows that Nicole refused to take a photo alone with Gabriel on stage, besides rejecting any interaction with the actor, despite both being the leading characters.

The Story of Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara

Before acting in Culpa Tuya, Gabriel and Nicole had already started their careers in acting with good results.

Guevara made his debut in the Spanish version of Skam in 2018, acting in other Netflix and Amazon Prime productions before Culpa Mía. A similar story for Nicole, who also appeared in Skam and Netflix’s Ni Una Más.

Rumors pointing to a bad relationship between the two suggest several theories. One of them is that Guevara was arrested in September 2023 during the Venice Film Festival, accused of an alleged sexual assault when he was a minor in France.

«This is a lie. My son has not set foot in France since he was a child. He has never done anything with anyone. Also, he doesn’t go to France. He hasn’t returned to France since 2015. There has never been sexual violence,» said his mother, French actress Malène Mourreau, in an interview with Spanish television.

Now free and acquitted of charges, it seems that this is not really the cause that triggered the tensions with Nicole, as both began to appear closer than ever on social media, posting several photos together with great chemistry.

Another theory is that both starred in the series Ni Una Más, a production aimed at giving a voice to women affected by gender violence. However, its director, Eduard Cortés, has recently been accused of abusing dozens of women. Nicole has publicly supported the victims, but Guevara has not commented on the matter. It is said that this might have sparked or worsened a conflict between the two.

Have Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara Broken Up?

The increasingly plausible assumption is a breakup. Although they have always maintained that what unites them is friendship and that they care for each other like siblings, both the media and their fandom insist on something more between them.

Their relationship seemingly ended abruptly in November 2023, when they began to unfollow each other on social media. Several theories (none official) suggest that they might have been linked to other people, and that their relationship had ups and downs over time.

Later, Gabriel confirmed his relationship in 2024 with his current partner, Spanish actress María de Nati, denying any romantic relationship with Wallace.

The situation seemed to settle until their recent encounter on the Culpa Mía carpet in December 2024, where Nicole insisted that they have «a good working relationship,» although Guevara preferred to clear up rumors by saying they were friends, even though they were working together at the time.
