One of the trapped Chilean miners is going to have some explaining to do after his wife ran into his mistress at the mine's entrance.
Britain's Sun newspaper reports the wife of Yonni Barrios was stunned and upset to find his girlfriend also conducting a vigil for him.
His wife Marta Silanas said she horrified when she heard her husband's lover Susana Valenzuela shouting out his name.
"Barrios is my husband. He loves me and I am his devoted wife. This woman has no legitimacy," Ms Silanas was quoted as saying.
But Ms Valenzuela said she met Barrios on a training course five years ago and was planning to ditch his wife for her.
She said she would "wait for him".
The trapped men have been given vaccinations and are now eating 2000 calories a day after NASA specialists arrived to provide help.
Their rations consist of yoghurt, cereal, chicken sandwiches, jam sandwiches and water. All alcohol and tobacco has been banned although two of the smokers have been given nicotine patches.
Barrios has been valuable to authorities trying to get the miners out, using his first-aid training to treat sick colleagues.
