The Los Angeles Times reporter David Zahniser has a story in Saturday's edition which claims that Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's affair with former Telemundo television anchor Mirthala Salinas is now over.Months after revelations about the affair damaged the mayor's political standing and devastated Salinas' broadcasting career, the two sources said the relationship disintegrated weeks ago.
"They broke up earlier in the fall. They've both moved on. And Antonio is focused on his relationships with his kids," said one person who said he learned about the breakup in October.
The other source -- who described himself as a longtime friend of Villaraigosa's -- said the relationship ended two or possibly three months ago.
"I think it was a tough summer. I think it was hard on his family. And I think he's trying hard to get past everything that was that summer," the friend said.
Both sources spoke on the condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
When told of the news, most people's thoughts were "I wonder what Latino politician she is dating now?" (Salinas has previously been romantically linked to Los Angeles City County president and now State Senator Alex Padilla, current Speaker of the State Assembly Fabian Núñez and of course former Speaker of the Assembly and current Mayor of Los Angeles Villaraigosa.)
In other news, Zahniser's story puts to rest that the Mayor would be changing his surname (back to Villar) in light of his pending divorce from his wife of over 20 years, Corina Villiaraigosa. There have been reports that she would be changing her surname back to Raigosa.
