Lecturas reported that Kiko Rivera pays €1,615 a month for the chalet he bought in La Juliana, an upmarket development in Bollullos de la Mitación near Seville. Rivera moved into the property as a tenant after separating from Irene Rosales, then bought it. On 4 November 2026, Lecturas director Luis Pliego discussed the purchase on Telecinco’s La tarde se mueve. The chalet was described as having about 380 square metres, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a dressing room and space for music production.
After the figure came up on Telecinco’s La tarde se mueve, Rivera refused the programme permission to use images from his new music video, He vuelto a nacer. The reported purchase price was €500,000, with a €376,000 mortgage, about 75.2% of that valuation. Rivera’s initial contribution was roughly €124,000 before transaction costs. The reported loan terms were a 3.15% interest rate over 30 years, or 360 monthly instalments, with a payment of €1,615 a month.
Rivera linked his refusal to the coverage of his home finances. He told the programme that he found it inconsistent to seek his consent to show his music video while discussing the price of his home and whether he had taken out a mortgage, without showing the same consideration for his privacy. La Razón reported that he criticised the programme’s request for permission to use the video while it covered his personal finances.
Pliego responded on air that the mortgage information came from the public registry. He also argued that Rivera had not earned money by discussing the house purchase, had taken on a mortgage and relied chiefly on selling accounts of his life for income. Those were Pliego’s claims. El Economista’s Informalia team also published the reported mortgage figures, attributing them to information discussed on Telecinco.
Pliego also pointed to Rivera’s history of selling interviews and exclusives to Lecturas, saying the singer had negotiated them closely. The disagreement concerns both the reported financial details and the programme’s request to use material promoting Rivera’s music. The house purchase was reported as part of Rivera’s housing arrangements after his separation from Rosales. Her home with their two daughters was also described as being nearby.
He vuelto a nacer draws on Rivera’s experience of two strokes: the first in late 2022 and another while he was travelling by plane to Lanzarote. Telecinco reported that the second stroke took place in July 2026 and was more serious than the first. During an appearance on El Hormiguero, Rivera described lingering effects, including problems with his leg and left arm. He also said he loses concentration during long conversations. The single was presented as the first advance from his forthcoming album, Volver a sentir, and was due for release on 5 November 2026.
The media dispute is separate from other coverage of online content. RUSSPAIN has reported on TikTok live streams involving minors. Rivera’s message to La tarde se mueve criticised what he described as a lack of professionalism and respect in its reporting on his private life.
