Tense encounter at Sofía's baptism: Cayetano and Eugenia Martínez de Irujo cross paths at a family event

The House of Alba met this Saturday in Seville to celebrate the baptism of little Sofía, daughter of Fernando Fitz-James and Sofía Palazuelo, in an event that has been marked by the delay due to a previous mass in the church of San Roman of Seville. However, what has drawn the most attention has not been the delay, but the tense meeting between the brothers Cayetano and Eugenia Martínez de Irujo.

Cayetano Martínez de Irujo arrived at the church and, although initially friendly with the media, refused to talk about his conflict with his sister Eugenia, labeling the reporters as "too pushy." "Today is not the day. I am not worried at all about meeting Eugenia in the gardens. We have to give the girl something that will remind me when she is older and say that she has a very cool uncle. I hope she likes it," he commented.

Minutes later, Eugenia arrived at the church, appearing more reserved in her words and surprised by her brother's statements. The aristocrat appeared tense and avoided answering journalists' questions about the conflict between them.

The confrontation between the Martínez de Irujo brothers has intensified in recent days due to disputes related to a partnership they have shared for almost nine years. According to Cayetano, the lack of agreement and the justifications of his brothers, Eugenia and Alfonso, have complicated the situation. The conflict is in the hands of their lawyers, and the tensions seem far from being resolved.

Sofía's baptism has brought together the Casa de Alba family at a time when a "baby boom" is also being celebrated in the family, with three little girls who fill all members with happiness. Despite the tense meeting between the siblings, the event took place normally, and the focus was on the celebration of little Sofía's life and the unity of the family at this important moment.
