He just turned 69 and doesn't know the meaning of the word retirement. He has not taken to watercolors or writing his own novel, much less petanque, feeding pigeons or observing the evolution of a public work. Bertín Osborne closes 2023 as one of his most prolific years: he launches a cologne, a white wine, a new album and… new son? His breakup with his “friend” Gabriela Guillén when he found out that she was pregnant and recently announced that she would request a paternity test, is one of the biggest controversies in which he has been involved. Certainly the most popular in recent years.
And Bertín seems subscribed to controversies: it happens when one speaks without sifting the speech with circumlocutions or diplomacy and, above all, if one says point blank what one thinks. He has always been like this in all areas: politics, society, family, marriage... The latter forced him to clarify through his Instagram account – a free forum that he frequently uses – certain words that hurt his ex a lot. , Fabiola Martínez. It was on the program Let yourself love where he said that he had never been in love as a couple but he was very comfortable with her. As?
He himself decided to self-replicate to clarify his words on his social networks explaining that he has always been looking for love in terms of knowing what it is and even today he does not know if what he feels for someone is love or not according to the meaning of others. That everything is very relative. And specifically, that he was not in love with Fabiola but rather “melted”, that he could not live without her and he was not wrong to marry: “These 18 years she has been the best partner, woman, mother, a complete person and she is fundamental in my life". In any case, although Fabiola Martínez continues to maintain a warm friendship with Eugenia, Alejandra and Claudia, the daughters of Bertín's first marriage, her relationship with him has been inexorably cooling this year.
Lucky at work, unlucky in love could be a saying applicable to the singer and presenter. Before addressing the Gabriela Guillén affair, it is worth noting that Mi casa es la tuya (Telecinco) has closed a magnificent season with guests such as Carlos Herrera, Luz Casal, Pocholo, India Martínez, Fernando Verdasco and Ana Boyer, Nacho Cano, Jesulín de Ubrique , Fernando Tejero, Ainhoa Arteta, Isabel Díaz Ayuso... The formula of Bertín talking with relevant characters in front of a good meal, which we already saw in the predecessor formats (In yours or in mine and My house is yours) continues to work. Similarly, El show de Bertín (Canal Sur), which in February turned 100 programs.
This 2023, which is now ending, Bertín has debuted as a collaborator of the Galician food factory Coren, particularly in the promotion of its pork ham fed with chestnuts, he has renewed as an ambassador for Repara tu debt, a law firm based in Barcelona and He has lent his image to the Andalusian textile company El Capote. Autumn has been the most entrepreneurial quarter: he has announced the launch of his own white wine, a ribeiro which he has called Gerifalte, a new album already in post-production (Ranchero, “the album of my life”, in his words) while he continues with The tour of 40 years is few and the most surprising of his business initiatives, a eau de cologne with his signature.
It is Silencio, a name that alludes to the peace that the countryside offers: “When the perfumers came to see me I told them that I had never used perfume and that I also refused. Although if there was something similar to a colony, we could talk about it. But I wanted it to be soft, not the kind where you get into the elevator and have to get out because you can't breathe, but I wanted it to smell like the countryside, like rosemary, like thyme… something clean and fresh.”
At the close of this text, it is possible that Gabriela Guillén has given birth, since she is due on December 31. As is known, the relationship between the two broke out shortly after Bertín found out that she was pregnant: at this point in his life, the artist did not want another child (he has five) and his distancing from the young physiotherapist at the beginning of summer indicated that he was also distanced itself from the accident hypothesis. Still, he made it known that he would take care of the creature. In recent weeks everything has changed: Bertín doubts that the child about to be born is his. His daughters support him, as they expressed in Alejandra's voice this December.
As of today, Bertín remains silent until Gabriela gives birth to take the next step, surely, firmly requesting a paternity test. On the other hand, journalist Beatriz Cortázar echoed her response: “It will be carried out in the same place where the judges rule, not a private clinic or private laboratory. “She is going to go to the Toxicological Institute, a one hundred percent safe and impartial place.” Thus, Bertín Osborne closes 2023 as a Schrödinger paternity about his immediate future.
