The announcement of a new wedding date for Makoke and Gonzalo Fernández came as a surprise amid a series of challenges the couple has faced over the past year. After being forced to cancel the celebration due to the serious illness of their daughter-in-law, the family found themselves in the spotlight not only because of their personal circumstances but also because of ongoing legal proceedings that continue to affect their daily lives. Even so, Makoke decided not to postpone their plans and announced that the ceremony will take place as early as June.
As Divinity reports, last summer Makoke was forced to cancel the wedding, originally planned for September, due to serious health issues affecting Marina Romero. The entire family focused on supporting Marina’s recovery, making her health the top priority for several months. Now that the situation has stabilized, Makoke has been able to resume preparations for the wedding, despite new challenges linked to legal disputes.
Legal battles and personal challenges
This year, the family’s troubles have been compounded by legal problems. Gonzalo Fernández is awaiting trial on charges of violence against a former partner. In addition, Makoke faces court proceedings for allegedly concealing assets and attempting to evade tax debts, with prosecutors seeking a four-year prison sentence. These circumstances have inevitably affected the couple’s emotional state, yet Makoke emphasizes her gratitude for her family’s recovery and the support of loved ones.
During a live broadcast from Malaga, where Makoke was spending Semana Santa, she explained that she hadn’t asked for help but was simply grateful that her daughter-in-law was recovering. She said that time spent with her daughter, sisters, and friends helped her regain strength and look to the future with optimism. It was at this point that she publicly announced the wedding date for the first time, unable to hide her emotions.
Wedding preparations
Makoke stated that the ceremony will take place on June 12 in Ibiza, as originally planned, though now with new circumstances. The guest list will remain the same—about 120 people, 60 from each side. She emphasized that she cannot invite everyone due to limited capacity, and only her longtime friend and program director Eva will serve as the witness at the ceremony. Colleagues from the show are not invited, which sparked a heated reaction in the studio.
In preparing for the celebration, Makoke is focused on the details: she has chosen three different dresses for different parts of the event, although she admits she will need to slightly adjust her figure, since the fittings took place right after returning from ‘Supervivientes.’ Her close friend Arantxa de Benito will play a special role at the wedding, giving a speech during the celebration.
Family values and future plans
Despite the pressure from legal proceedings and public attention, Makoke emphasizes family values and support. She points out that it is important for her to be close to her children, grandchildren, and loved one, as well as to maintain warm relationships with friends. Her daughter-in-law’s recovery has become a symbol of hope for the whole family, showing the possibility to move forward despite external challenges.
Plans for a June wedding are seen as a new chapter intended to unite loved ones and provide an opportunity to celebrate an important event in a close family circle. Makoke openly says that for her, it is not just a personal celebration but also a way to express gratitude for support and overcoming a difficult time.
Makoke is a well-known Spanish television presenter and media personality whose career is closely tied to popular shows and projects. In recent years, she has repeatedly attracted attention due to personal and professional developments. Her partner Gonzalo Fernández is also active in public life; however, his name has lately been mentioned more often in the context of legal proceedings. Despite these challenges, the couple continues to make plans together and prepare for an important moment in their lives.
