A Step-by-Step View of His Path

Reality TV Beginnings

Rivera entered the public eye through his participation in Gran Hermano Argentina 2015, the eighth season of the show. He originated from Burzaco, Buenos Aires Province, and was evicted after 57 days, finishing 16th.

Building a Platform

After his stint on reality TV, Rivera used his public exposure to grow a social-media presence and work as an influencer—a common path for reality-show alumni in Argentina and beyond.

The 2023 Incident: A Turning Point

On 14 April 2023 in the Palermo neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Rivera was reportedly involved in a physical altercation with his ex-partner Thalía Di Mario and her then-boyfriend Franco Coronel. A video published by press shows Rivera without a shirt beside Di Mario at a building entrance, leading to a violent exchange during which Rivera was stabbed. He was hospitalised at Hospital Fernández and subsequently placed under police custody. The case includes allegations of attempted homicide.

Reinvention and Current Persona

As of late 2025, Rivera’s verified Instagram account presents him as “CEO & Sales Director – Transforming profiles into money machines,” indicating a shift toward digital-marketing consulting and personal-brand monetisation. While earlier reports mentioned a period of adult-content creation during a stay in Mexico, his public profile now emphasises business strategy and social-media growth services.

Relationship Landscape

  • Former partner: Thalía Di Mario (with whom Rivera had ended a relationship before the 2023 incident).
  • Her then-boyfriend (at time of incident): Franco Coronel, social-media influencer who engaged in the confrontation with Rivera.
  • Rivera’s relationship with Di Mario had reportedly concluded prior to the critical April encounter.

Definitions & Terms

Reflections

Eloy Ayrton Rivera’s story highlights how early exposure in reality television can create opportunities—but also how public life may lead to turbulence. His journey from reality-show contestant to influencer, through a highly publicised legal and violent episode, and toward an entrepreneurial digital identity suggests both reinvention and the challenge of sustaining a public persona in evolving contexts. The long-term stability of his current path remains to be seen.
