Autumn 2025 brought a romantic hue to the Spanish capital. Photographers captured Ona Mafalda, heir to the Bulgarian crown, who seems to have finally turned the page after recent personal upheavals. Just a year ago, in November 2024, her marriage to the British aristocrat of Lebanese descent, Marc Abousleiman, ended—a union that began in spring 2022. But sadness now appears to be in the past, giving way to a new, brighter feeling.
The singer and European aristocrat’s new partner is Miguel Ángel Martín Maoño. His world is far removed from palace intrigues and formal events—he is a successful art director and graphic designer. Their romance developed quickly: the relationship became known at the very start of 2025, just three months after Mafalda’s official split from her former spouse. Since then, the couple has carefully avoided the public eye, choosing to nurture their relationship away from prying stares and the flash of cameras. However, recent photos prove—their bond is stronger than ever.
A scene that unfolded on one of Madrid’s central streets was filled with genuine tenderness. Miquel and Mafalda met as if they hadn’t seen each other in ages, embracing in a long, strong hug. Their happy faces and shining eyes spoke louder than any words. Then, holding hands, they leisurely strolled through the neighborhood where the princess lives. Animated conversation, laughter, and jokes accompanied their walk to a small local bakery, where they went in just like any ordinary couple in love, to buy something for dinner.
These moments of simple human joy show that the daughter of Kyril of Bulgaria and Rosario Nadal has found her quiet haven. Despite her status, she chooses not grand society events, but cozy walks with her loved one. This story is more than just another society report; it is a narrative about searching for harmony and personal well-being, which for a member of the royal family can sometimes be more important than any titles and honors. It seems Mafalda of Bulgaria is beginning a new chapter—one where love and sincerity take center stage.
