Cristina Saavedra, presenter of the LaSexta news, has gone through an extraordinarily difficult personal period. The consecutive losses of her godmother, her grandmother and her two sisters between 2020 and 2022, and a hit-and-run in 2017, would be a heavy burden for anyone. But she, Saavedra, has not only faced these situations with integrity, but she has also had to stay professionally in charge of a top-rated newscast.
In the midst of this difficult situation, Manu Carreño, her partner since 2003, has been a great support. Although they have kept their relationship private, the strength of their union has been evident in the recent obstacles Saavedra has faced. Carreño has not only been her sentimental partner, but also a point of support in difficult times.
This summer, Canada has become the setting for Saavedra's retreat and healing. Despite minor setbacks at the beginning of the trip, the journalist has managed to find solace in the majestic landscapes of the North American country. And this is where Carreño's presence could become especially relevant.
One of the images that has resonated most among the journalist's followers has been one in which Saavedra appears from behind, looking at a lake with mountains in the background. The snapshot is accompanied by an enigmatic phrase: "Always one foot at this moment. Thanks... to you (???? and )." These very significant words suggest that Carreño could have been the author of the photo and, without a doubt, the recipient of the thanks.
The support of the sports journalist has been a fundamental pillar for the communicator, who now faces new challenges in her professional facet. For the first time, she will share the tasks of presenting the LaSexta nightly newscast with Rodrigo Blázquez, a novelty in her career since she took over this space in 2012.
