Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin paralyze the negotiation of their divorce until September: the anger of the infanta

June 5 was the date marked on the calendar to formalize the marriage breakdown of the infanta and the former athlete. It coincided with the 18th birthday of her daughter Irene, a key date that gave them free rein to distribute assets without custody in between. However, the latest events have paralyzed the last stretch of the negotiation and the signing of the divorce will be delayed, at least, until next September.

According to Confidential Monarchythe initiative has been from the infanta christina: “He will park his sentimental situation until after the summer because he needs a breather,” say sources close to him. There are two reasons: on the one hand, the delicate relationship they maintain at this time Iñaki Urdangarin and his daughter Irene, who blames him for her mother’s suffering and refuses to meet the new girlfriend, Ainhoa ​​Armentia. On the other, the high demands of the former Duke of Palma: “Cristina does not accept them”, they have affirmed.

Let us remember that the infanta and the father of her four children announced their separation in January 2022, after the magazine Lecturas published the first images of Urdangarin in a romantic attitude with her co-worker: “By mutual agreement, we have decided to interrupt our relationship marriage. The commitment to our children remains intact. Since it is a private decision, we ask for the utmost respect from all those around us,” the statement read.

A year later, it seemed that the situation was on track thanks, above all, to the intervention of the emeritus. Don Juan Carlos He did not want to turn his daughter’s divorce into a show and offered to take care of the costs of the process and also the pension of his son-in-law. “The emeritus has said that negotiations and haggling should stop and that the divorce be closed once and for all; that he will assume what he has to assume, including the added cost,” said journalist Juan Luis Galiacho at the time. The first agreements between Urdangarin and the Infanta Cristina stipulated a monthly payment of 25,000 euros for him and a single payment of two million euros as compensation, something that seemed insufficient to him: “He has asked for more, both in the monthly pension and in the compensation of two million, which seems little to him. In addition, he wants them in a single payment”.
