“You have to enjoy life”

He has denied it actively and passively, publicly and even among his closest circle, but Hiba Abouk has had to surrender to the evidence and confirm, finally, that he has a ‘fling’ with Escassi. Hours after stating on the street that “there is nothing between Álvaro and I”, the actress has rectified and admitted: “I’m a single, hard-working, pretty woman, mother of two children… you have to enjoy life and he’s gorgeous, of course you do.”

The protagonist of Eva & Nicole She has made it clear that her relationship with the rider is not serious, although she is not closing the door on love either: “If I were in love I would say it. How can I hide love, which is the most beautiful thing in the world?”. Hiba considers them to be “friends” and “having a good time”, nothing more. In fact, she rules out seeing them together in the coming weeks: “We have completely different summer plans so I don’t think we’ll be seeing each other again for the time being.”

Hiba’s confirmation comes just hours after Álvaro Muñoz Escassi’s words at the doors of his refuge in Cádiz, where they spent the past weekend together: “We are not doing anything bad to anyone,” he assured. “It is true that it can hurt to see someone else. It is very normal, we have been together for a long time, but we are not committing any crime,” he said about his latest escapades with the Tunisian-born singer after his scandalous breakup with María José Suárez.

The rider and the actress met a few months ago during the filming of Masterchef Celebrity and the chemistry was instant. The first time we saw them together was at the party that El Turronero organised for his granddaughter’s communion in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Álvaro and Hiba were very close, although discreet, because in addition to the more than 200 guests there were also her children, Amín and Naím, the fruit of her marriage to Achraf Hakimi. The second was in Tunisia, as we announced in this digital. It was between July 11 and 13, when María José cried about her breakup on the Telecinco set. They travelled to Tunisia, specifically to the coastal town of Hammamet, and stayed in a suite on the fourth floor of a luxury resort for adults only. They did not hide: kisses, caresses, hugs… The third came in Madrid, on July 18. They ate together in an Italian restaurant from which they entered and left through a back door, as explained by Semana magazine. The last one took place last weekend, in Tarifa, in a rented house away from prying eyes.
