After 13 years of dazzling us with their undeniable chemistry, groundbreaking work, and irresistible charm, Los Javis the Spanish gay power couple Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo have reportedly split. The pair’s break-up marks the end of an era, not just in their personal lives, but in the broader cultural landscape they’ve helped shape.

From Creators to Icons: A Legacy of Breaking Boundaries
Los Javis were the dynamic duo behind HBO Max’s Veneno, the hit series that brought the life of Spanish trans icon Cristina Ortiz to the global stage. They weren’t just creative collaborators—they were a beacon of LGBTQ+ visibility in the Spanish-speaking world, bringing unapologetic queer narratives to mainstream media in a way that felt revolutionary. And that’s only one part of their multifaceted empire.
The Dream Team: Suma Content, Drag Race España, and Global Stardom
Together, Ambrossi and Calvo co-founded Suma Content, a production company that’s been responsible for some of the most exciting and boundary-pushing work in Spanish television. From the moment they appeared on Drag Race España as judges, their presence on screen was magnetic, blending humor, heart, and an unshakable understanding of queer culture. Their commentary on the show was always sharp, but there was something uniquely warm about it—like the cool, collective big brother energy of someone who’s been through it all, and now wants to make sure the next generation thrives.
They’ve even worked their magic on Drag Race Global All Stars, joining the legendary RuPaul Charles and Michelle Visage to show how global drag really is. Ambrossi, 41, and Calvo, 34, were the kind of couple whose personal and professional lives seemed inextricably linked, as if they were the ultimate artistic partnership that just worked. But as we all know, even the brightest stars can eventually part ways.
A New Chapter: The Split, but Not the End of Their Creative Journey
According to El País, the split is amicable. Ambrossi and Calvo will continue to honor their shared professional commitments, including their current and future creative projects. Fans can still look forward to La bola negra (The Black Ball), the highly anticipated film that stars the likes of Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close, alongside rising talents like Guitarricadelafuente and Julio Torres. This movie is a testament to their creative vision, as Ambrossi and Calvo co-wrote, co-directed, and co-produced it together, proving that their professional bond is as strong as ever, despite their romantic split.
The Subtle Shift: Los Javis as Individuals
The world of Los Javis, however, has already started to feel different. At a recent La Revuelta meeting—where Spanish musical icon Rosalía and legendary filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar were present—Calvo attended alone. Ambrossi, who had spent the last decade attending these kinds of events alongside his partner, was noticeably absent. This subtle shift, noted by El País, is just the beginning of what seems like a new chapter for each of them. As one source put it, “from now on, it will be increasingly common to see them separately.”
While neither Ambrossi nor Calvo has publicly commented on their split (at least not directly), the clues are there. Calvo’s Instagram is full of celebratory posts from the La bola negra wrap party, while Ambrossi’s social media seems to have gone dark, at least for now. It’s a quiet but potent reminder that, while their personal relationship may have ended, their creative partnership will continue to thrive—and that the work of Los Javis is far from over.
The Legacy Lives On: What’s Next for Los Javis?
So, what’s next for Los Javis? The truth is, their legacy isn’t tied to their relationship, but rather to their ability to create, disrupt, and tell stories that matter. Whatever happens in their personal lives, there’s no question that the world of entertainment, especially queer entertainment, is better for it. The moment we saw them co-create Veneno, the moment we saw them sit beside RuPaul and Michelle Visage, was the moment we knew that Los Javis weren’t just a couple—they were an institution.
Now, as they take their first steps into a new phase of their lives, the possibilities are endless. Here’s to whatever comes next for Ambrossi and Calvo, both as individuals and as creative forces. No matter how often we see them on screen or in the headlines, we’ll always be rooting for them—together or apart.
