After a long period of restraint and silence, the veil of secrecy over the breakup of one of Spain’s most talked-about couples is finally being lifted. Irene Rosales has decided to speak candidly about her personal situation, shedding light on the real reasons behind her split with Kiko Rivera. It has emerged that the couple made one last, almost desperate attempt to save their relationship—but unfortunately, it ended in total failure and only hastened the inevitable conclusion.
A crucial detail that had remained behind the scenes until now was a trip together to Mérida during the last Christmas holidays. Joined by close friends, Irene and Kiko went on this journey with a single goal: to find a path to reconciliation and give their marriage one more chance. The festive atmosphere and change of scenery were supposed to help them reconnect. However, reality was harsh. Instead of growing closer, the couple finally realized just how deep the rift between them had become.
What was meant to be a lifeline trip turned into a point of no return. It was after returning from Mérida that both realized their love story had come to an end. Built-up tension and emotional burnout outweighed any hope for reconciliation. The final decision to separate was made a few weeks later, and by the time one of their daughters’ communions took place, their relationship was already over in practice. Since then, they’ve gone their separate ways: Irene found solace in peace and a new relationship with Andalusian entrepreneur Guillermo, while Kiko threw himself into his music career, preparing to release a new single.
Despite personal turmoil, the former spouses have shown a mature approach to raising their daughters, Ana and Carlota. They have established a flexible co-parenting arrangement, always putting the well-being of their children first. Although there is no official visitation schedule yet, they stay in constant contact and help each other out, adjusting to each other’s work commitments. Irene emphasizes her complete financial independence, clarifying that any funds from Kiko go solely toward the girls’ needs. After the breakup, it was Kiko who moved out, while Irene chose to stay in the family home to be close to her own relatives, who became her main support during this difficult time.
