Laura Escanes and Risto Mejide starred in one of the most mediatic breakups of 2022. The couple, after 7 years of relationship, a wedding and a daughter in common, decided to put an end to their sentimental relationship, although the real reason was never clarified for which they separated.
A few months later, both can boast of having moved on with their lives, in addition to having overcome the breakup. Laura Escanes is dating the singer Álvaro de Luna and Risto has just started a relationship with a Valencian pharmacist named Natalia Almarcha. Precisely the new illusion of Risto has caused the controversy to explode, since once again Mejide has chosen a woman much younger than him as his sentimental partner.
A video has gone viral in which Risto Mejide and Kiko Matamoros talk about everything they have suffered from being with women much younger than them, discrimination that "can be compared to that suffered by LGTBI people or people of color."
One of Laura Escanes's best friends, the content creator Sindy Takanashi, has spoken about the issue on her social networks and wanted to make it clear that neither Risto nor Matamoros suffer from ageism. ''Someone explain to me, please, what discrimination this person suffers with the social position he has, the job he holds and the number of books he sells. Discrimination is not that they point out a pattern that has been normalized for millennia and against which the voice is beginning to be raised '', she explained about Risto. ''Let them read a book or at least open it,'' she pointed out about Matamoros.
Although Laura and Sindy are very good friends and talk every day, the truth is that Takanashi had already warned Escanes about his opinion about his relationship with Risto and what it meant to share his life with a man who repeats the pattern of dating. ''girls 20 years younger than him''.
''It was very important to me that even though I saw this red light, she didn't feel alone and isolated. To begin with, because she wasn't, but she didn't want her to isolate herself from the people who thought what we thought from the beginning. So that if the day came, which thank God has come in which she separated, she would know that she had support. I didn't want her to feel that I was judging her... Now I feel liberated, ”explains Takanashi on her social networks.
