Marcela has confessed she thinks Paul is a “handsome devil”.
He flew back to America last week to join her in plugging the show ahead of its launch next Wednesday.
A source close to Marcela’s husband, who is running to be a councillor in Tijuana, Mexico, said: “Her family were excited that this TV show was going to be her big break.
“But it’s just been the break-up of her marriage.”
Marcela owns a plush home near San Diego.
But pals say she is often away filming, while Fausto has been concentrating on politics in Mexico.
The family source added: “Some of the family knew they had been through a rocky period, but we thought that was past.
“They have kept it very quiet, and that may be for his and her career.
"They are both very driven people.”
