Juan Ortega and Carmen Otte starred in one of the most shocking news stories in the social chronicle of our country in 2023. The life of the bullfighter and the cardiologist took a 180 degree turn on December 2 when the bullfighter decided to suddenly cancel the engagement. Everything was prepared for the couple to say "I do" in front of more than 500 guests and in her homeland, Jerez de la Frontera.
But an hour before the expected wedding, the bullfighter made the decision to stop everything, leaving Carmen Otte completely planted at the altar. After the scandal, little information has emerged about both protagonists, except that the right-hander and the cardiologist have spent Christmas separately and with their loved ones.
Since then, both have stayed away from the media spotlight and have remained silent to try to leave this media storm behind. Furthermore, in recent weeks, there has been a lot of speculation about the right-hander's state of mind and his whereabouts.
After the events that occurred last December, this Wednesday, January 17, Juan Ortega's long-awaited return to the arena was going to take place. The bullfighter was one of the great guests at the presentation of the Valdemorillo Bullfighting Fair. The media present there were more than prepared to capture first-hand the presence of the right-hander after all the controversy generated.
However, and to the surprise of those present, the bullfighter changed his mind at the last minute and made a smoke bomb again. Everything was ready to welcome the right-hander, but late in the morning, the organizers reported that the right-hander "was neither there nor planning to attend."
The only person from the bullfighter's close circle who attended the presentation of the Valdemorillo bullfight was his agent, who assured that Ortega was immersed in his training for his bullfighting return and that for the moment he preferred to get away from any type of distraction with the media.
