After a period of silence on social media, Eugenia Silva has reconnected with her followers to share deeply personal news. The 49-year-old style icon has undergone urgent surgery due to severe osteoarthritis of the hip, which caused her unbearable pain. At the Cemtro Clinic in Madrid, a team led by Dr. Pedro Guillén fitted her with a titanium prosthesis. The model admitted that the operation was unavoidable, as the pain no longer allowed her to maintain her usual active lifestyle.
From her hospital room, Silva reached out to her fans with words full of warmth and gratitude for their support. She mentioned how much she missed daily interactions and the positive energy she receives from her audience, and that even during her silence, she still felt this invisible connection. Taking this step—appearing in a vulnerable moment, without her usual glamorous polish—reveals new facets of Eugenia’s personality, as she successfully balances a thriving runway career, her own business, and family life with Alfonso de Borbón y Yoldi.
In her message, the model also reflected on the past weeks, calling September a month that became a real challenge and taught her a lot. Now, the events of that period have taken on a completely different meaning for her. She fondly remembers the flowers, notes, and words of support from many people, which she will cherish in her heart and memory. Among the published photos are moments preceding her hospitalization: business meetings, time with family, and one special trip. Evgeniya also thanked a friend for accompanying her to an event in honor of Giorgio Armani, which, as she now realizes, was her last trip before being forced to put everything on hold.
A few days after the surgery, Evgeniya shared profound reflections on her profession and how, with age and experience, perceptions of one’s own body change. She admits that accepting such a situation is not easy, especially when your entire career is built on image, movement, and physical activity. However, she now approaches this stage with a new philosophy: to take care of herself, listen to inner signals, and recognize that well-being also means knowing when to press pause. The model, who holds a law degree and is actively involved in sustainability issues, seems to have found in this break an opportunity to reconsider the path she has taken. She promised to share updates on her recovery from home, opening a new chapter for herself and her followers that touches not only on physical health, but on her entire life.
