Pedro Jimeno has responded to critics after he was called out for posting a cozy photo snapped with an unidentified woman. The since-deleted photo, posted on The Family Chantel star’s professional Instagram account, suggested that he had already moved on from his estranged wife, Chantel Everett, with another woman.

Chantel and Pedro’s marital breakdown has been the focus of the currently airing fourth season of the TLC reality show.

The popular 90 Day Fiancé alums made the decision to split in May. Pedro filed for divorce on May 26 but claimed that they had been separated since April 27. The TLC star said that their marriage had become “irretrievably broken.” Chantel stated in subsequent court documents that she was ending the marriage for reasons that included adultery and “physical domestic violence, as well as mental pain.” Court docs also revealed that a mutual restraining order was filed on the same day as Pedro’s divorce filing.  Chantel responded to Pedro’s petition on June 7 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, agreeing that their union was “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.”

The unfolding season of the TLC hit coincided with the couple’s divorce announcement, heightening fan interest in real-time updates. Pedro’s photo with the mystery woman sparked lots of fan chatter about the status of his love life and prompted lots of harsh comments from Team Chantel viewers.

The real estate agent was snapped barefoot and smiling with his arm around the woman, who was also barefoot and wearing an orange crop top and shorts. Pedro shared the IG Story on his professional page but did not offer any context or explanation. A fan account shared the image along with a photo of the woman taken from her public Instagram account.

Pedro appeared to hit back at the public backlash in a later Instagram Story. The TLC star implied that the dating rumors were false when he referenced popular American novelist William Gaddis, quoting—”Stupidity is the Deliberate Cultivation of Ignorance.” Pedro also shared “Wants and Needs” by Drake. The lyrics encourage people to stop taking things “out of context.” 

Fans know that Chantel was suspicious of Pedro’s relationships with his co-workers ahead of the divorce filing. She admitted that she was “jealous” of her husband’s colleagues, including his friend, Antonella Barrenechea, in an episode that aired last month.

Chantel and Pedro connected in person for the first time in Pedro’s native Dominican Republic, where they got engaged. TLC cameras chronicled Pedro coming to the United States on a K1 visa, which allowed the couple 90 days to decide whether or not to tie the knot. The pair wed in 2017, amid sometimes volatile family drama. 

The Family Chantel airs Mondays at 8 pm, ET, on TLC.
