The life of one of Spain’s most influential social media figures, Violeta Mangriñán, is a constant quest to balance career ambitions with motherhood. As a sought-after influencer, she is often required to travel for work, leaving her daughters Gala and Gia in the care of family members. This time, their grandmother Elvira, Violeta’s mother, is looking after the girls. However, the younger daughter, Gia, is finding it especially hard to cope with her mother’s absence.
Shortly after arriving in Tarragona for work, Violeta called her mother and received worrying news. Little Gia refused to sleep and wouldn’t touch her bottle; her crying didn’t stop for a minute. The girl kept calling for her mom, and this news hit the blogger hard. While the children are used to their parents’ frequent trips, this separation seems especially painful for the youngest. She desperately misses her mother and constantly calls out for her, wanting only her mom to tuck her in at night.
Violeta didn’t hide her feelings from her millions of followers, admitting that her “heart is breaking into pieces” and she can’t hold back the tears. The situation is made even harder because it’s not just the child who suffers. Mangriñán herself is under just as much stress. She openly shared that she has struggled with sleep problems for years, but after her daughters were born, she developed a new routine—sleeping together with them. This ritual, while not always offering the most restful sleep, has become incredibly important and precious to her.
Now, every trip, every time she leaves home, turns into a real ordeal. Parting with her daughters is extremely hard for her. On top of her maternal worries, there’s a sharp sense of guilt. Violeta is distressed that in this difficult moment for the children, neither she nor the girls’ father, Fabio, are by their side. The thought that her daughters are sad and feeling abandoned causes her unbearable pain and makes her question whether she’s made the right choice, balancing her career and family life.
For reference, Violeta Mangriñán is a Spanish influencer, TV host, and entrepreneur originally from Valencia. She rose to fame after appearing on popular reality shows such as “Mujeres y Hombres y Viceversa” and “Supervivientes.” It was on the latter, in 2019, that she met her partner, Italo-Argentinian model and singer Fabio Colloricchio. The couple is raising two daughters: Gala, born in 2022, and Gia, who arrived in early 2024. The family lives in Valencia, where Violeta has built her dream home.
