Creator duo · Gran Hermano Chile

Gemelas Abello

Updated · reviewed by a human

Valentina and María Camila Abello — Colombian identical twins whose secret swap on "Gran Hermano Chile" made national news in Chile. Both real, both documented, individually and as a duo.

Are the Gemelas Abello real?

Yes — Valentina and María Camila Abello are real identical twin sisters from Medellín, Colombia, and they're unusually well documented for creators who built their following as a matched pair.

Chile's national broadcaster CHV/Chilevisión revealed in July 2024 that a contestant on its reality series "Gran Hermano Chile," known inside the house only as "Valentina Abello," had secretly been two people swapping every 24 hours for roughly ten days — the broadcaster's own coverage named both sisters individually once the secret broke, corroborated by regional outlet Infobae and Chilean outlet Cooperativa.cl.

Because they publish largely as a joint act — each sister's own Instagram links back to their shared account, @gemelasabello — look-alike and reseller/impersonator accounts thrive in the confusion; the corroborated handles are listed below and on each twin's own page.

Combined follower figures for the duo vary by source and snapshot date — treat any single combined number as approximate. Multiple reseller/fan accounts circulate under variations of "Gemelas Abello"; only the handles corroborated on each twin's own page should be trusted.

Quick answers

Are the Gemelas Abello real?

Yes. Valentina and María Camila Abello are real identical twin sisters: named individually by Chile's national broadcaster CHV/Chilevisión after their secret swap on "Gran Hermano Chile" was revealed in July 2024, corroborated by Infobae and Cooperativa.cl, with each sister's own Instagram cross-linked to their shared account.

Who are the Gemelas Abello?

Colombian twins Valentina and María Camila Abello, from Medellín, who built a joint social media following starting around 2020. They became nationally known in Chile in July 2024 when "Gran Hermano Chile" revealed that a contestant known in-house as "Valentina Abello" had secretly been swapping with her identical twin every 24 hours for roughly ten days.

What are the Gemelas Abello's real accounts?

The corroborated handles, as re-checked October 22, 2026: the shared Instagram @gemelasabello (about 2.5M followers), whose bio names @gemelasabellooficial (about 205K) as its official secondary account; the joint TikTok @gemelasabello2 (about 25.8M followers); Valentina's own Instagram @valentinaabello (about 894K) and María Camila's @mariacamilaabello (about 753K), both linking back to @gemelasabello; and María Camila's TikTok @mariacamilaabello_ (about 1.9M), whose bio names @gemelasabello2 as the twins' main account. Numerous reseller and impersonator accounts circulate under close variations of their name — including a small, unrelated TikTok at @valentinaabello — so treat anything not listed here or on each twin's own page as unconfirmed.

How were the twins distinguished on Gran Hermano Chile?

Press covering the reveal reported that the sisters have distinct tattoos and small differences in eyebrow shape and makeup style — differences their castmates never noticed during the swap, according to Cooperativa.cl's coverage of the reveal.
