Off-Screen Drama: Rumors Swirl That Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara’s Supposed “Friendship” Has Cracks — Sources Claim One Secret Incident on Set Changed Everything.
In the high-octane world of Prime Video’s Culpables trilogy, where forbidden love revs like a souped-up engine, the off-screen saga of stars Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara has become its own turbocharged thriller. What began as a bromance-for-the-ages—think endless Ibiza selfies, joint press tour giggles, and fan-fueled #Gabicole mania—has devolved into a cold war of unfollows, red-carpet dodges, and whispers of betrayal. As Culpa Nuestra (Our Fault), the trilogy’s angst-ridden finale, continues to dominate streaming charts three weeks post its October 16, 2025, release (racking up over 120 million views globally), fresh rumors are peeling back the layers on their fractured “friendship.” Insiders now point to one explosive, under-the-radar incident during Culpa Tuya (Your Fault) filming that allegedly shattered their bond beyond repair. Was it a lovers’ quarrel that spilled into the real? Or proof that the on-screen spark between Noah and Nick was always more smoke than fire? With fans poring over every promo clip like forensic experts, the truth feels tantalizingly out of reach—but the cracks are impossible to ignore.
To rev the engines on this drama, let’s backtrack to the golden hour of Culpa Mía (My Fault). Dropping in June 2023, Mercedes Ron’s Wattpad juggernaut exploded into Prime Video’s most-watched non-English film, thanks in no small part to Wallace and Guevara’s alchemy. At 22 and 23, the duo—Wallace channeling Noah’s street-smart fire from her Skam España days, Guevara brooding as Nick with his La Mesías edge—didn’t just sell the step-sibling taboo; they embodied it. BTS reels captured them tangled in choreographed chaos: Wallace perched on Guevara’s shoulders during race-track rehearsals, him draping his leather jacket over her between takes. Their press tour was pure catnip—finishing sentences in Variety interviews, a viral Madrid street clip of him twirling her like a prom date. “We clicked instantly; it’s like we’ve known each other forever,” Wallace gushed to Cosmopolitan, while Guevara added, “Nicole gets me—no filters.” Fans, starved for authenticity in a sea of scripted romances, shipped them hard: TikToks syncing their pool plunge to The Weeknd amassed 100 million views, and #NickAndNoahIRL trended for weeks. Even director Oriol Paulo chimed in: “Their off-screen vibe fueled the magic on camera.” Whispers of a secret fling? Inevitable. Denials? Dismissed as coy PR.
But fairy tales in Hollywood have spoilers, and this one’s arrived via Instagram purge. By late 2023, as Culpa Tuya cameras rolled, the fairy dust settled into frost. The first red flag: November 1, 2023. Wallace unfollowed Guevara across platforms, deleting tagged stories and archiving joint pics—a digital ghosting that lit X ablaze. He mirrored it days later, scrubbing comments and liking shady memes (allegedly body-shaming her post-filming curves, per fan sleuths on Reddit). Cue the cryptic symphony: Wallace’s IG story of a shattered rearview mirror captioned “Moving on,” Guevara’s addition of Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” to his Spotify. Theories detonated—jealousy over Guevara’s Venice Film Festival scandal (dropped assault claims from his minor years), burnout from embodying eternal toxicity, or the elephant in the Riviera: María de Nati. The La Mesías actress and Guevara went public in early 2024, mere months after the unfollow apocalypse, with pap shots of them canoodling at a Valencia gala. Fans speculated De Nati’s discomfort with #Gabicole’s intensity forced the purge: “She saw the edits and said ‘enough,'” one X thread posited, garnering 500K likes.

The feud’s public debut? The December 27, 2024, Culpa Tuya premiere at Madrid’s Palacio de Vista Alegre—a venue once their playground, now a minefield. Eyewitness TikToks immortalized the carnage: Wallace, luminous in sapphire velvet, glued to author Mercedes Ron as a buffer; Guevara, sharp in tailored black, orbiting the edges like a lone wolf. When emcee Tomás Ollé beckoned for a “reunion pose,” she bolted mid-sentence—”Excuse me, ladies’ room”—leaving him stranded under flashing bulbs. No glances exchanged, no forced hugs—just the arctic void where chemistry once crackled. Spanish outlet Los40 dubbed it “the chill that stole the show,” with fan cams racking 15 million views captioned “From soulmates to this? Spill the tea.” Wallace later told El País, “We’re professionals; personal growth means space.” Guevara, to GQ España: “Friendships evolve—simple as that.” But the subtext screamed volumes, especially as Culpa Tuya streamed to 90 million views, proving audiences crave the mess.
Now, the bomb dropping this November: sources finger one “secret incident” on the Culpa Tuya set as the detonator. Per a viral X thread from user @m_r_r0601—claiming production ties and backed by “eyewitness confirmations”—the blowup hit during a late-2023 rehearsal for a blistering betrayal scene. Fiction fused with fury: Voices escalated from scripted barbs to raw screams, Wallace reportedly hurling “You’re always the victim!” at Guevara, who fired back, “It’s the same with you—impossible, every time!” He stormed off, production grinding to a halt as a coordinator sprinted after him; director Domingo González allegedly played referee, separating them for a reset. “The set went silent—crew frozen, like we’d crossed into their therapy session,” the thread details, echoing FandomWire reports of a “loud argument so tense, the director had to intervene.” Post-incident? The thaw never came. No more between-take banter, no lingering high-fives—just clipped lines and averted eyes. One crew whisper via Threads: “It was the moment everything flipped; what was playful turned poisonous.” Fans connect dots to darker rumors: Guevara’s alleged body-shaming (“Her figure makes intimacy scenes hell,” per leaked set chatter on Reddit), amplified by De Nati’s jealousy-fueled ultimatums. A post-filming vid of Wallace arguing with a rumored beau at a Madrid club, followed by Guevara’s “My Girl” post with his dog Mia? Salt in the wound.
The ripples? Cataclysmic for the fandom, catnip for the trilogy. Culpa Nuestra, with its time-jump maturity—Nick and Noah navigating exes and “what ifs”—mirrors the stars’ own detente, earning a 6.5 IMDb for Wallace’s “fierce evolution” and Guevara’s “haunted depth.” Promo vids? Spliced solos, no shared frames, sparking X frenzy: “They edited around the feud—unprofessional AF,” one viral clip laments, 8 million views strong. Yet, the drama’s diesel: Pre-release buzz from the rift propelled it past Culpa Mía‘s records, with English remakes in the works. Wallace, 25 now, pivots to a Netflix espionage lead, posting “Boundaries = freedom” mantras. Guevara, 26, juggles De Nati dates and a solo indie flick, his feed a shrine to “new chapters.” But in a joint Culpa Nuestra letter-read—stiff as starched collars—they muster “Grateful for the ride,” her eyes on cue cards, his on the void.
So, was the “friendship” ever solid, or just set-dressing for the sell? Die-hards cling to Culpa Mía‘s unscripted gems—like Guevara’s ad-libbed “Te quiero” in the finale, kept for its “raw heart,” per X lore. Skeptics, armed with the incident’s shrapnel, see method over magic: “If they loathed filming intimacy, how real was the heat?” a Hauterrfly review snarks. X user @NicanorVJ2 sums the ache: “Gabriel chased reconciliation; Nicole slammed the door. That set scream? The echo of what could’ve been.” As Culpables credits roll on Noah and Nick’s fractured forever, fans mourn Gabicole’s: a cautionary crash course in how proximity breeds combustion. One thing’s clear—their “friendship’s” fault lines run deeper than the script. And in Hollywood’s rearview, we’re all just along for the wreckage.
