In December 2025, it became known that renowned Spanish musician Alejandro Sanz and actress Candela Márquez had ended their relationship. Their romance lasted about a year and seemed solid, but behind their public image tensions simmered. The couple was still seen together recently at social events in Madrid, briefly putting a stop to speculation about a breakup. However, soon after, it became clear that their relationship was over.
Friends of the former couple note that both had vibrant personalities and passionate temperaments. Despite efforts to keep their relationship going, disagreements and emotional outbursts proved too much. Recent weeks were marked by a series of arguments, with Candela’s jealousy towards one of the singer’s female friends playing a key role.
Reasons for the breakup
At the center of the conflict was a woman with whom Sanz had maintained a friendship even before he met Márquez. According to those close to the couple, Candela often asked Alejandro whether he had more than just platonic ties with this friend. The musician insisted that there was nothing between them but friendship, but her suspicions lingered.
At some point, Candela began reaching out to journalists to uncover details about the mysterious friend. She contacted media outlets not only in Spain but also in Latin American countries in an attempt to get more information. This became one of the signs of growing distrust in the relationship.
The conflict reaches its peak
One pivotal episode was tied to a trip Sanz took. Candela directly asked him where he was and who he was with. The musician assured her he was alone, but it soon came to light that his female friend had actually been with him at the time. Candela found out through social media posts made by the singer’s friend, which were quickly deleted, but not before screenshots spread among their acquaintances.
This incident was the last straw. After another argument, which touched not only on trust issues but also other disagreements, the couple decided to break up. They unfollowed each other on social media, and Candela began posting suggestive songs and quotes that fans interpreted as hidden messages to her ex-boyfriend.
Public signals
Attentive fans noticed troubling signs in the couple’s behavior even before the official breakup was announced. First, Candela unfollowed Sanz on social media and started sharing song fragments hinting at changes in her personal life. In response, the singer posted a cryptic message, which he soon deleted but not before it sparked a wave of discussion.
Additionally, at one of the major music events, Sanz appeared alone, while Márquez emphasized in an interview that she was single again. These details only fueled public and media interest in their split.
Final attempts
Despite a string of conflicts, the couple tried to keep their relationship together. In September, they managed to overcome a crisis, but a few months later, tensions rose again. Their final conversation—where they revisited old grievances and new suspicions—became the final chord in their story.
Both now prefer not to comment on the details of the breakup, yet their actions and online posts speak for themselves. New rumors continue to emerge around their story, while fans closely watch every move of the former couple.
For reference, Alejandro Sanz is one of Spain’s most renowned musicians and a recipient of numerous awards, including Latin Grammy honors. His work is recognized far beyond Spain, and his personal life often becomes a topic in the media. Candela Márquez is an actress and model, celebrated for her roles in Spanish and Latin American projects. Their romance attracted major attention from fans of both stars and was considered one of the most talked-about relationships in Spanish show business for quite some time.
