At a charity evening in Madrid organized by the Xana Foundation, established by the family of Luis Enrique, the guests’ attention was captured by an unexpected couple: 56-year-old bullfighter Pepín Liria appeared in public for the first time with his new partner. His companion was Drágana — a 26-year-old singer and activist from the Canary Islands, known for her fight against racism and xenophobia. The couple’s appearance sparked discussion not only because of the age difference, but also because Liria had previously chosen not to publicize his private life.
An Unexpected Appearance
Until this moment, Pepín Liria had strictly adhered to the rule of not showing his personal relationships in public. However, at the event at the Wellington Hotel, he posed with Drágana, openly displaying their closeness. The identity of the young woman became known only a few hours after the event, which only fueled public interest in the couple. According to media reports, despite the thirty-year age difference, both are confident in their feelings and pay no attention to the discussions.
Drágana’s Career and Achievements
Drágana is not only a singer but also an active participant in social campaigns. She took part in an event dedicated to Women’s Day in Lanzarote, and in the past, she competed professionally in sports. As a teenager, Drágana was a member of Spain’s youth national basketball teams (U12, U13, U14), and in 2016, she was named best player in the final of the Spanish Cadet Championship, representing CB Islas Canarias. Aside from sports, she earned a qualification as a pharmacy assistant and is actively interested in travel, beauty, and fitness.
Personal Life and Changes
For Pepín Liria, this is the first time he has openly demonstrated a relationship. After retiring in 2018, having left the bullring with more than 700 fights, the torero has rarely appeared in society pages. He has two daughters: the eldest, María, from his marriage to María José Pardo, and the youngest, Yara, born from his relationship with Gloria Rivas. This new chapter in Liria’s personal life has become a notable event for fans and the media.
