The pair currently reside in a gated community with the 71-year-old serving a house arrest after he was found guilty of a horrific crime.
Alperovich was sentenced to 16 years in prison for rape and sexual assault, as reported by Need To Know.
He was arrested in Jun 2024 and found guilty of raping his 29-year-old niece.
After serving just one year in Ezeiza Federal Prison, Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was granted house arrest due to health concerns and being a low-flight risk.
The pair first met after Mirra visited the Tucumán Government House shortly after she won the 2007 Gran Hermano (Big Brother).
She was appointed a role on the tourism board with the two entering into a secretive relationship which lasted for nearly two decades.
After the relationship was exposed and posted online Alperovich divorced his ex-wife to marry Mirra in Nov last year.
The intimate ceremony took place in his luxury apartment in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, Argentine.
Mirra has now broken silence on their relationship stating “I love him”, as reported by TN.
The report states she attempted to dodge the cameras of LAM but eventually answered some brief questions.
Marinela Mirra told LAM: “Of course. I love him, I’m full with him, accompanying him.
“I’m at ten.
“Everything is spectacular.”
