The best proof of the “meticulous” character and “structured” personality of Ana Boyer (Madrid, 1989) is found spontaneously in each of the small gestures and everyday acts of her daily life. She welcomed us with a friendly smile at the exclusive party held by the Rabat family on Wednesday night at the emblematic Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.
Her knowledge of being in front of the cameras was more than notable, since, as the daughter of the socialite Isabel Preysler and the former minister Miguel Boyer, she has grown up exposed to everyone's eyes in a large and very media-rich family. Among her siblings, Boyer maintains a very strong bond with Tamara Falcó, one of the great protagonists of the latest soap operas in the Spanish gossip press. Precisely, Falcó's challenging and provocative attitude is what she admires and wishes her younger sister had had.
“Since I was little I have always had a lot of respect for my parents and I have been very obedient. On the other hand, my sister Tamara challenged them much more. If she went back in time, she would tell my past self that she should be more daring, that it was not necessary to follow all the rules to the letter.” Now that Boyer shares two children with Fernando Verdasco, he is surprised by Isabel Preysler's attitude in the role of her grandmother. “My mother is a different person now. I always tell him: 'you would never do these things with us'; and she tells me openly: 'parents educate, I consent,'” she explains with a laugh.
For her, her two children, ages two and four, are her “absolute source of happiness.” Her relationship with the Spanish tennis player led him to put aside her future as a lawyer or economist – she studied Law and Business Administration and Management – to accompany her husband in her professional commitments. A decision that, at the time, caused a certain stir and that she wanted to settle by arguing her reasons.
“I made the decision taking into account that Fernando's career was short. If I had been the tennis player, and I had three or four years left in my career, he would have done the same for me. In fact, he was ready to leave tennis,” he confesses. The story between the socialite and the athlete began in 2012, at a concert by her brother Enrique Iglesias, and strengthened over the years. Verdasco traveled a lot for work, and the distance between them led him to make that decision.
“He was moving to Qatar and I was here in Spain, with my office job and with very limited time to travel. We practically didn't see each other. That's when we had to make the decision to move forward or take a step back.”
They say that children are torn between the worlds of their parents, but the youngest of Miguel Boyer's daughters was clear from the beginning that she did not want to dedicate herself to the world of television or focus her life on social events and red carpets. Regarding the influencer label that some media now attribute to her, she believes that she still has a long way to go. “I think it's something that is difficult for me, that doesn't come naturally to me. It's something that also happens to my sister, she makes an effort. We are not used to being on a plan or at a meal with friends and taking out our cell phone to share it,” she points out.
Of all the firms and brands with which he has been associated, the Rabat jewelry firm is the one with which he has the longest relationship. “I have known the Rabats personally for a long time. They have very similar values to ours, very strong family ties, and I love this. “I felt a very special and beautiful connection with them from the beginning.” In Ana Boyer's jewelry box, there is one piece that shines brighter than any other, and it is the engagement ring that Fernando Verdasco gave her. “For me, a piece of jewelry is a unique link to a very special moment or story. They take me back to that moment.”
