"Yo me enteré en MasterChef" — Lina Tejeiro

Lina Tejeiro arrives at La Tobón Show pregnant with her first child, Gael, and recounts how she found out: she was filming MasterChef Celebrity and a plate of cubios (a type of Andean tuber) revealed what no test had yet told her. She talks about the unvarnished first trimester, about hiding her pregnancy on a set where she couldn't eat anything raw, about the exhaustion that forced her to quit the competition, and about how she cried watching her own elimination episode. She also discusses the undercooked meat and why it wasn't intentional. In the second part of the episode, she talks with Laura about raising a boy, about the burden of conscience that came with the news, about whether she'll show Gael on social media, and about the boundaries she learned to set after years of exposing her family. The episode opens with THE BOX, a segment of direct questions, and continues with "Getting Discomfortable to Get Comfortable," where she talks about her non-negotiables. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Episode Topics: How she found out she was pregnant while filming MasterChef Celebrity The first trimester and the symptoms no one talks about Hiding a pregnancy on a cooking set Her departure from the competition and raw meat Mommy brain and body changes Raising a son and what she expects from Gael To show her son on social media or not The line between the audience and private life Courage, her trademark, and the facets she enjoys most Her non-negotiables in a relationship Why this would be her last reality show 0:00 THE BOX 2:29 Two pregnant women at the airport 5:12 How she found out while filming MasterChef 11:43 The body What changed 13:24 The pause and the March project 14:26 His mom and the grandmother who's preparing 16:22 To show Gael on social media or not 21:27 Raising a man 24:06 Did you dream of being a mom? 26:29 Early Morning Fears 28:05 Her Exit from MasterChef 33:00 She Cried Watching Her Own Episode 34:17 Courage and Its Facets 36:46 Getting Discomfortable to Find Comfort 38:48 Acting Out What You Haven't Lived 40:05 Reality Shows with Cohabitation 41:27 The Limit with the Audience 44:39 A Message for Gael ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss any episodes of La Tobón Show. 💬 Tell us in the comments what you would say to Lina about whether or not to show Gael on social media. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #LaTobónShow #LinaTejeiro #LauraTobón #MasterChefCelebrity #Pregnancy #Motherhood #Gael #Courage Follow me on my social media 📲 Instagram:   / latobonshow   TikTok:   / latobonshow   Facebook:   / latobonshow
