Fran Rivera's life has always been under public scrutiny, especially due to the complexities of her family relationships. In Friday!, the bullfighter has once again made the news for reiterating the non-existent relationship that he maintains with two of his brothers, Kiko Rivera and Julián Contreras Junior.
Fran's relationship with her siblings has been a roller coaster of emotions and conflicts. With Kiko Rivera, her relationship has completely collapsed, especially after the controversies over Paquirri's inheritance and Fran's criticism of Isabel Pantoja.
"37 years have passed since my father died and this lady has not had a glimmer of kindness.... Everything bad that happens to her she deserves it," were Fran's words that triggered an angry response from Kiko. "Break what is already broken! My brother hates me, I don't want to know anything about him!" Kiko exclaimed, evidencing an irreparable schism that has continued to this day.
As for Julián Contreras Jr, the bullfighter has revealed in Friday! an incident that marked a point of no return: "he asked me for money, I told him I couldn't and he disappeared. He went on TV to skin me."
In this way, Fran has been very clear when explaining his fatigue with his younger brothers: "One gets tired of trying and trying. We have different upbringings... Let each one look for a life." Despite this disappointment, the bullfighter has also left the door open to a possible reconciliation in the future: "Time puts everyone in their place, but I can't tell you that I wouldn't speak to them again."
The case of Cayetano Rivera, another of the brothers, presents a different dynamic. Although Fran has admitted that her relationship with Cayetano is not perfect, she has also pointed out that they have more things in common and that they strive to maintain the bond, mainly for the sake of their children. "We are not Cain and Abel, but neither are the Marx Brothers," she said.
In view of the fact that the relationships with his brothers are not the best in the world, nor with Cayetano, the right-hander is clear about what weight they have for him: "My family is my wife, my children and my friends. My friends are more family than my brothers."
