Sebastián Mejía, better known in Colombian entertainment as Tatán Mejía, is an extreme athlete who today participates in the MasterChef Celebrity Colombia gastronomic competition, positioning himself as one of the favorites and expert in decorating dishes. In addition, the motorcyclist is recognized for being married to the presenter Maleja Restrepo, with whom Guadalupe and Macarena were born for 12 years.
The 'partners', as this couple calls themselves, are admired by their followers because, despite so many years of relationship, they have not lost the chemistry and intimacy that characterizes them. Precisely, in the last few hours, Restrepo revealed that Mejía's participation in the famous RCN program has been a “family challenge”.
After Tatán Mejía did a live broadcast cooking with Estiwar G on her Instagram, the presenter decided to reveal on her profile, to her 4 million followers, what it means to live the competition from home. “You don't know what it's like to live this reality show behind Sebas, every day. It is to live in constant stress; as in a rise and fall, with happiness and sadness, but with the satisfaction that we are achieving it”.
The statements of the Cali presenter came about as a result of the live performance performed by the contestants, as they showed their followers what challenges are really like, in the last few minutes, without the editing that the channel does. Many of the users who connected to Instagram Live said they were stressed at the last minute, thinking that everything Tatán Mejia and Estiwar G had done was wrong; they assured that they live it that way every day.
Restrepo pointed out that not only has it been about supporting her husband and keeping an eye on challenges from home, but it has become a challenge to maintain harmony in their home and relationship.
The presenter released a fact little known to television viewers, which is that the MasterChef recordings last between 14 and 16 hours, but all that time is summarized in an hour, which is how long each episode lasts. It is because of this same detail that the participants also insist to their followers that on the air you only see a little of what they really live.
On the other hand, Maleja Restrepo expressed her admiration for her partner, as she has been able to face the challenge and has stood out within it as one of the best. “I deeply admire, and I tell Sebas every day, for what he has done, which is why there is no way to camouflage who you are there, they play with you and with your mind all the time... I admire his creativity and his desire to excel every day.”
It should be remembered that Tatán was tried a few challenges ago for cheating in the middle of a test and being seen by Aida Morales. Although the actress did not mention it, the motorcyclist accepted that “Aida was talking to me, she is absolutely right, I put my hands under it a couple of times”.
