Accompanied by her mother and somewhat dazed by the operation, she assures that now she has to be “calm at home, many droplets, very calm and on Monday I will go back for a check-up”, but without a doubt, she is happy with the success of the intervention: ” I have not stopped sleeping, I am phenomenal, everything has been phenomenal”.

At the end of August, Ponte showed himself without filters or makeup and shared the image of his eye, from which he has lost 80% of his vision. “My children say that I look like a cyborg and that I’m very pretty. I really don’t care if I have a white and sewed eye,” she said then.

The model was married to Beltran Gomez-Acebo from 2004 until their separation in 2011. They said “yes, I do” at El Esquileo, her sister-in-law’s farm in Segovia, and they had two children, Laura y louis philipwho are very aware of their mother.
