Marta Pombo Returns Home: How Her Husband Managed Three Weeks Alone. For the first time, Marta Pombo shared how her husband coped with their three daughters and household while she was busy with a new project. His candid posts and family support sparked widespread discussion.
Three weeks away from home—and all of Spanish media is once again following Marta Pombo. Her return after a long professional project became not just a family event, but a topic of discussion on social networks and in the media. This time, the spotlight was not only on the fact of their separation, but also on how Marta’s husband, Luis Zamalloa, handled being the only adult at home with three daughters and a dog.
While Marta Pombo worked far from her family, Luis Zamalloa didn’t hide the details of his new daily life. His Instagram posts quickly went viral: he showed honestly how each day went without his wife, without trying to sugarcoat reality. In one post, he admitted that he tried to give his daughters all his care, but Marta’s absence was especially keenly felt. Luis emphasized that behind the beautiful images on social media, there is often fatigue and moments when there’s no time for photos. He shared that during tough times he simply didn’t have enough hands to capture anything, and during good moments, he wanted to create memories. In one message, he joked that he would give his wife a “pharaonic welcome” and admitted that the children sometimes exasperate him, but he adores them—and Marta even more.
Family support and unexpected details
After three weeks, Luis Zamalloa admitted: this experience was unique for him and showed just how irreplaceable a mother is at home. He posted a video where Maria Pombo’s father, Papín, comes to read bedtime stories to his granddaughters, and he also showed rare moments of rest — just 15 minutes in the sun for the entire day. Luis noted that his eldest daughter, Matilda, loves stories, and the younger ones copy everything she does — making it possible to keep everyone occupied at once.
Even in Marta's absence, family support did not waver: Luis spent time with his wife’s relatives, including a day by the pool with Maria Pombo, whom he described as a 'second mother' to his daughters. He expressed special thanks to Lucia Pombo for helping with the dog. But there were also challenges: during these weeks, Luis had to visit the hospital and now faces back surgery.
Marta’s reaction and online discussion
Marta Pombo did not stay on the sidelines and publicly supported her husband by sharing his post on her own Instagram. She admitted that the hardest part was being away from her children and husband, but emphasized that she felt happy knowing that Luis is the best father and partner — someone she can trust with everything while she is busy with work. According to Divinity, it was this openness and honesty from the couple that sparked a wave of support and discussion among their followers.
Interestingly, the issue of family roles and support in the absence of one parent is becoming increasingly prominent in Spanish news. Recently, a similar focus on family values and gratitude appeared in the story of Anabel Pantoja, who dedicated a heartfelt message to her loved ones and the Canary Islands— this gesture also did not go unnoticed by the public.
