Francisco Rivera, seen in Pamplona “in a complicit attitude” with an “attractive young woman”

Francisco Rivera no longer fights bulls, but he celebrated these Sanfermines with a good performance that he might remember even after the “Pobre de mí”Lourdes Montes’ husband is a big fan of the fiestas that Pamplona said goodbye to this Sunday, and not just the bullfights in the bullring of the Navarrese capital. This Tuesday, a week ago, already in the early morning, I was enjoying the party with some friends who had fun for much of the night in the bars of the bullfighting area.. First he visited Kabiya and then Kato’s. They say that it was in this last place where Paquirri’s son was chatting with an attractive young woman..

The newspaper The world He even dares to publish that Eugenia Martínez de Irujo’s ex-husband was seen “in a complicit attitude” with the aforementioned. We have not heard the former bullfighter make a complaint and the joke was published on Saturday. The ex-bullfighter’s wife hasn’t said a word eitherthe designer, lawyer and mother of Carmen and Curro, the two young children of Cayetano Rivera’s brother. Surely everything has an explanation. While we wait for Lourdes Montes or Fran to give their version of what happened or did not happen, what we can confirm is that they are still happy 12 years after beginning their relationship (almost ten of them married). Carmina’s son’s entourage says they are more in love than ever.

The bullfighter and the businesswoman met more than 12 years ago and, as he has explained on more than one occasion, “it was love at first sight.” A relationship that has been full of obstacles and that they have overcome little by little because, “when love is true, you can overcome anything.”

They were first married in a civil ceremony, but later in the Church, once Carmina Ordóñez’s first-born son obtained the annulment of his religious wedding (in the cathedral of Seville) with the Duchess of Montoro and mother of his eldest daughter, Tana.

They were introduced by mutual friends at the April Fair in Seville and from that moment on, Fran knew that the time had come to settle down and that he would marry the Sevillian beauty who had stolen his heart.

The young lawyer, who later became a designer, was not so sure about it and was very reticent at the beginning of their relationship. She insisted that he not take off his motorcycle helmet in the street so that he would not be recognized and captured by the press.

Lourdes says that success comes from “working hard on love, affection and respect and being very generous,” and Fran maintains that success has a name: “Lourdes, without a doubt.”

One of the biggest obstacles their relationship had to face, and which they themselves have spoken about on several occasions, was the moment when Fran Rivera decided to retire from his profession. “When I retired from bullfighting, there was a difficult moment. My life is bullfighting and I have dedicated my whole life to fulfilling my dream. It is a very demanding and absorbing profession. I went through a period where I couldn’t find anything that fulfilled me and Lourdes and I had a difficult moment, I closed myself off.”

Tana Rivera’s father retired in 2012, although he returned to the ring in 2015 and, during a bullfight in Huesca, he suffered a goring that put his life in danger.

Lourdes was then about to give birth to her first daughter, Carmen, who came into the world after the terrible goring. Finally, in 2017, Fran put an end to his career as a bullfighter. He lives off his business and from time to time receives a generous “donation” (with lots of quotation marks) in exchange for going on set to tell the world that his daughter did not come into the world as the fruit of his love with Eugenia Martínez de Irujo.
