From being a boxing champion to succeeding on television and music: 5 curiosities you don't know about Omar Montes

The singer Omar Montes will visit the Pablo Motos program tonight, where he is an old acquaintance. The artist has visited the set several times and has even been a collaborator of El Hormiguero.

On this occasion, the man from Madrid will go to the Antena 3 space to present the tour of his latest album Quejíos de un maleante, which will start on April 21 in Albacete and to talk about a boxing match in which he will participate in June after many years without getting into a ring.

Omar Montes can boast of having one of the rarest careers on record for an artist of his stature. The man from Madrid has gone through all kinds of challenges and situations until he succeeded with his music, which has made him win charts and be prepared for fame and repercussion.

His naturalness, closeness to people and lifestyle have made millions of fans around the world fall in love with him, who await his tour with great expectation. But who really is Omar Montes? How has he come to lead the big music charts? Here we leave you 5 curiosities about the artist so you can get to know him a little better.

During the summer of 2018, Omar Montes had a fairly mediatic relationship with Isa Pantoja, the second daughter of the tonadillera Isabel Pantoja. Although they spent a few very happy months and even traveled together, the couple decided to put an end to their relationship.

The break was carried out publicly, since in the Big Brother VIP edition in which Isa participated, she met her current partner, Asraf Beno, while she was still dating Montes. The program gave Omar the opportunity to enter coinciding with the expulsion of Kiko Rivera's sister, but giving the audience a live discussion from the expulsion room that left a phrase from Omar for history: "We are not boyfriends, You have given me the life of a martyr".

Before making the professional leap into music, Omar achieved great success in the world of boxing. The man from Madrid participated in combats as a professional, semi-professional and amateur, becoming the Spanish Welterweight champion.

In addition, Omar has also participated in other sports disciplines such as Full Contact. In the month of June, after several years retired from boxing, Omar Montes will get into the ring in a very special fight for him.

In 2013, a very young Omar Montes appeared on the dating show Mujeres, Hombres y Viceversa to try to win the heart of the tronista Lola Ortiz, appearing very natural, close and comfortable in front of the cameras.

Despite the fact that his story with Lola finally did not end as the man from Madrid would have wanted, we were able to witness the beginnings of a television animal that years later would win one of the most difficult contests on television: Survivors.

In addition to living for and for work, Omar Montes goes out of his way for his loved ones. In 2012, the singer of La Llama del amor y Alocao had a son as a result of his relationship with his ex-partner Nuria Hidalgo.

The little one is called Omar Junior and he is 11 years old. Despite the fact that for the artist it is the most important thing in his life, having him at the age of 23 was very hard for him, since he was not "prepared" and did not have great financial resources.

Despite the fact that many believe that his musical career began after his triumph in Survivors, back in 2019, the truth is that the artist's first single was published in 2015 and was called Mentiras.

However, it was not until 2019 that his fame as a singer exploded and he began to break records and lead dozens of music charts. Since then, Ella Montes has collaborated with great national artists such as Bad Gyal or Ana Mena and international ones, such as J. Balvin or Anuel.
