Some of the experiences that García-Cortés goes through in his book are the painful loss of his mother when she was only 11 years old.

On the sentimental level, she will not overlook her old friendship with Isabel Pantojahis relationship with Jose Manuel Parada, his “night of love” with Bárbara Rey and, of course, his relationship with Marta, with whom he has been dating for more than three decades. They have been married since 2005.

“We have argued a lot, there have been fights because I was not well and neither was she, even Maggy [su perrita] has been affected, the poor thing has turned gray,” confessed Chelo herself in the Deluxe on August 20, when she returned after being operated on for the radio rupture she suffered in May.




The journalist, already recovered from her injury, added: “This has marked me too much. I think that, in the end, it will be positive. There have been very hard moments at home. It has been distressing, terrible, really”. It must be remembered that during this time, Marta also suffered a mishap for which she also had to spend more time than usual at home. She shattered her heel after falling into the pool. “One was lame, the other lame,” Chelo remarked.

In the presentation this Thursday, García-Cortés also named Marta at another time: “All I want is to enjoy many years of the company of Bárbara Rey, Sofía Mazagatos, who is my friend, Sofía Cristo, Marta, of my friends, of my colleagues…”.
