The first is Isabel Martín Blázquez, sister of the journalist Marisa Martín Blázquez, who was her sister-in-law (he was therefore Antonio Montero’s brother-in-law). He left his first wife for a co-worker who over the years would become, in addition to his second wife, the mother of his children: the Canary Islander. Sandra Fernandez She was his boss on those shows like Pink sauce o Sweet life, antecedents of the one that premieres today.

At the moment, Santi Acosta’s girlfriend is also a fellow journalist: the political commentator Esther Palomera, 55 years old, who participates in several Mediaset gatherings, among other groups. Palomera was the girlfriend of the former politician Eduardo Madina, former secretary general of the Socialist Parliamentary Group in the Congress of Deputies. Madina retired from politics and works as a commentator on Cadena Ser.
