La Velada del Año 6 in Seville delivered one of its most talked-about moments before the first bell rang. As the stadium filled with more than 70,000 spectators, attention turned to the fights and theatrical entrances that have become hallmarks of the event. On July 25, 2026, the spotlight also fell on Aitana as she appeared to support Plex, drawing further attention to a relationship the couple had publicly confirmed the previous year.
Just before Plex’s bout, Aitana met him near the ring and the two kissed in front of the crowd. The gesture drew applause and became one of the night’s defining images. After Plex defeated Fernanfloo, he returned to Aitana for another embrace and kiss, fueling conversation in the stadium and online. Coverage by El País also described the pre-bout kiss and noted that Aitana has appeared in Plex’s videos while he has joined her performances.
Their relationship became public in July 2025, after a period of speculation prompted by joint appearances and a video filmed in Japan. Aitana has described how their connection developed during international travel. Japan was one stop; they also met in the Dominican Republic, with New York later part of the story. She recalled asking Plex whether he would visit Japan during his travels. He first said no, then told her two days later that he had booked flights. Their story began after Plex attended the February 2025 premiere of her documentary Metamorfosis.
Aitana has also recounted the early contact in interviews with 20minutos and Telecinco. She said her team had asked her to invite content creators to the documentary premiere, and that she later followed Plex on social media and messaged him late at night. In her words, “I wrote to him at three in the morning with a couple of drinks too many.” Speaking about her direct approach to dating, she added, “If I like someone, I go straight for it; I’m not going to pretend to be cool.”
Plex’s return to the ring drew anticipation, partly because of his memorable entrance the previous year to “Now We Are Free” from Gladiator. This time, Aitana’s presence became part of the spectacle. The scale of Plex’s online audience helps explain the attention surrounding their appearances: El País reported that his YouTube channel had 14.9 million subscribers. That figure measures his digital following, not attendance at the stadium.
Since confirming their relationship, Aitana and Plex have shared moments from their lives and travels on social media. On the eve of the fight, Aitana posted photos with Plex on Instagram, wishing him luck and expressing her admiration. In October 2026, she told ABC that she was very much in love and spoke about the possibility of marriage and children, saying, “I hope it’s for the rest of our lives.” She later clarified that there had been no wedding announcement or formal proposal.
La Velada del Año has built its profile around surprise appearances and live performances, with high-profile guests adding to the draw. Organized by Ibai Llanos, the event has grown into a major fixture of Spain’s entertainment calendar, where boxing and digital creators share the spotlight with personal stories. Recent local events have also captured public attention, such as when residents in El Encinar del Alberche voiced frustration with local authorities after a devastating wildfire, showing how gatherings and incidents can quickly become focal points for national conversation.
