The first edition of Operación Triunfo continues to generate great nostalgia among all the faithful fans of the format. One of the topics of greatest interest are the hidden romances in this first edition of the Gestmusic talent show on TVE. Last January, Gisela revealed in El Circ on 8tv that she had an affair with David Bustamante. Last week, the Catalan offered more details in Socialité. This Sunday, the program hosted by María Patiño has sought David's reaction, who has not been entirely satisfied with the revelation of his partner.
The truth is that David and Gisela was an open secret in its day, but at no time was it confirmed by either party. "We have always denied everything, but things did happen," the artist pointed out in El Circ, and also acknowledged that the story started "like a young man's fooling around" that ended up continuing and becoming a relationship even after concluding his participation.
In these statements to the Catalan program, Gisela did not reveal how long their relationship had lasted. However, last week she returned to give some details about her relationship with Bustamante in Socialité. "We didn't want to talk about a kiss, we wanted to talk about our career, and that's why we never said it," she said, two decades later. "We were 16 boys, 8 boys and 8 girls, with hormones, all day together, living a unique experience, because the final... the spark arose. They were love affairs," she declared.
This Sunday, Socialité issued David Bustamante's reaction to his partner's statements. The program contacted the interpreter of Give me back my life to ask him for his opinion of him. The surprise has come when the program revealed that the artist has not taken anything well that Gisela has spoken publicly about the relationship they had during their time in the contest.
The Disney singer had no qualms when it came to admitting, decades later, that there was a full-fledged relationship between them. Something David doesn't understand now. When asked about the statements, the singer responded very bluntly and annoyed. "That was something that was already known, I don't know why he said it now, we were young and well, okay, it's funny to remember those things," he sentenced, without saying anything else.
For whom the singer has had words of love is for his girl, the dancer Yana Olina, the young woman he met during his time on the TVE program Dancing with the stars. Nothing about his affair with his pageant partner. It should be remembered that the program was marked by the relationships that came out of it. One of the most outstanding, that of David Bisbal y Chenoa, who even twenty years later, continues to give much to talk about.
