Mario Vargas Llosa and his “pichula” turn 87: from the soap opera with Isabel Preysler to the delivery of Patricia Llosa

The Peruvian Nobel Prize winner turns 87 this Tuesday, March 28. If there is a man who has occupied the pages of the heart in the last twelve months, it has been him. Especially since June, when it was published that he was going through a major crisis with Isabella Preyslerfor which he even spent more time than necessary in his apartment in the center of Madrid.

So, they denied the breakup rumors and were seen in Ibiza as if nothing had happened, as published Informalia in exclusive. They also reappeared in various events in the capital, leaving behind rumors of disagreements. However, months later, everything fell under its own weight and on Wednesday, December 28, the Day of the Innocent Saints, we woke up with the cover of the queen of hearts in Hola announcing in first person their separation.

Tamara Falcó’s mother assured that the “unfounded jealousy” of the author of The city and the Dogs triggered the break. According to Isabel, after one last row in Villa Meona with Ana Boyer as a witness, the writer definitely packed his bags and left the house in Puerta de Hierro. However, the intellectual denied this version and assured that his lifestyles were very different. In the middle of the storm, messages from Álvaro Vargas Llosa, son of Mario and Patricia, also arrived, who shared poisoned messages and a few photos of his parents on social networks, confirming the reconciliation between the two. The Llosa family shies away from the heart, but they have not stopped sharing content on networks, knowing the impact that these movements generate in the press.

Mario’s children have never accepted his relationship with Isabel and are happy that the Nobel has returned with Patricia. In 2015, when they celebrated their 50th anniversary of marriage, he left her for the Filipina. However, almost eight years later and a lot of rain, they have reconciled. Perhaps it is the love they still feel for each other, or the company they keep for each other, so necessary at such advanced ages.

In The winds, a story from 2021, Mario Vargas Llosa spoke of the love of “pichula” for which his protagonist abandoned the woman of his life. Something she always regretted. The Nobel Prize winner denied that this story had autobiographical overtones, although his words were quite reminiscent of the relationship he lived with the mother of Enrique Iglesias. Be that as it may, the writer no longer remembers his courtship with the queen of hearts. “They are two very different worlds, very separate. But hey. The experience was lived and that’s it, I’m back at home, surrounded by my books,” he explained in The country.

In recent months, Mario and Patricia have been seen naturally by Madrid. Patricia was also present at one of the most important days in the writer’s career, when he entered the French Academy last February. Shortly after, they went to the wedding of one of her granddaughters in Peru, where even the author of The party of the goat he dared dancing a huayno, a typical rhythm in Peru. “I have regained my freedom”, she came to say herself in the Paris Match.
