In Spain’s public sphere, there are few couples who attract as much attention as influencer Laura Escanes and athlete Joan Verdú. Recently, fans had a rare opportunity to glimpse behind the scenes of their private life. Joan appeared as a guest on his partner’s podcast, where, in a relaxed conversation, he touched on their relationship — one that has been in the media spotlight from the very beginning.
During the conversation, Verdú shared his perspective on their relationship. He noted that, despite all external factors and media noise, being with Laura feels surprisingly easy and comfortable. This stood out in contrast to Escanes’ own admission. Long accustomed to public attention, she initially worried about how her partner, a professional athlete, would handle the inevitable intrusion into his private life. However, according to Joan, he was calm about this aspect from the start, focusing instead on what really matters: the harmony between them. The couple demonstrates an ability to build a strong inner world that withstands outside pressures.
It’s important to understand that Joan Verdú is not just the companion of a well-known media personality. He is an accomplished individual, an elite skier and instructor whose career demands tremendous dedication. In addition, he is successfully developing his own YouTube project, where, in the “Skiing with Celebrities” show, he talks to interesting guests. His audience values him for his professionalism and charisma, not just for his connection to Escanes.
Recent news about his career only confirms the seriousness of his ambitions. The athlete announced an important step—a temporary move to Austria. This decision is driven by a unique professional opportunity, an offer to collaborate with industry giants like Van Deer and Red Bull. Verdú explained that he has no intention of leaving Spain permanently, but will spend enough time in Austria to see this project through. This move is a key investment in his sporting future, an effort to reach new heights and realize longstanding dreams, while continuing to compete at the highest level.
