Former “Love Is Blind: Argentina” star Santiago Martínez is headed to prison for 15 years after being sentenced for trying to kill his ex-wife, Emily Ceco — whom he met and married on the show back in 2024.
According to Argentine outlet A24, Martínez got the sentence in March … after Ceco pulled the plug on plans to remarry him in Feb. 2025, alleging he’d been physically abusing her and left her with a black eye.
He was ultimately convicted of attempted murder, repeated assault and unlawful detention — while Ceco was granted a restraining order.
Ceco later spoke out on Televisión Pública, saying, “He tried to kill me,” recalling how he choked her and tried to smother her with a pillow.
Meanwhile, Martínez kept insisting he’s innocent — even posting on IG he wouldn’t “take responsibility for trying to kill the woman I loved.”
