Laura Sánchez and Aitor Ocio were more than ten years ago one of the most popular couples in the social chronicle. The model and the former soccer player met in Seville in 2004. Two years after the romance came to light, the couple announced that they were expecting their first daughter, whom they named Naia.
A few years after the birth of the little girl, the first rumors of a crisis in the couple began to cover every corner of the media. And although at first they were simply mere speculation, the actress and the athlete announced in 2009 what was already an open secret, their separation.
Both assured that the reasons for the breakup were due to the different work commitments they had at that time. But what seemed like a cordial separation between the two parties, changed radically when the former soccer player requested full custody of the girl, citing that the model did not act as a mother, since she lived between Madrid, Seville and Bilbao.
From this moment on, an arduous judicial battle began for both of them, which ended at that time with a judge granting joint custody. But years later, the model denounced the former soccer player for having published images of the little girl without her consent. After a new battle in the courts, Aitor Ocio managed to take full custody of little Naia.
This judicial decision was a terrible setback for the model, who had to face a big change in her life. The actress confessed in several interviews that she "couldn't separate a mother from her daughter, nor a father from her daughter." Despite all the suffering she has suffered, the model is currently very happy with her current partner, David Ascanio.
For his part, Aitor Ocio has been very focused on enjoying every moment with Naia, which to this day continues to be his top priority. Proof of this is the recent publication that he has shared on his social networks, in which he celebrates that his girl, who is no longer so little, is about to come of age.
With an image of Naia in front of the sea and in which her face cannot be seen, it is how the former soccer player has congratulated her on her seventeenth birthday. ''And so, another year watching you grow and admiring you in every way. Every day fighting for your dreams and reaching your goals. I cannot be more proud of you my love. Congratulations, I love you Vikinga '', she wrote.
