The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and Teresa Urquijo y Moreno surprised their love on Sunday in the press run, which closed the San Isidro Fair in the Plaza de las Ventas. The couple enjoyed the day in adjacent seats and that made the digital media confirm their relationship, since they have been dating for about six months.
It was the first time that the couple was seen in public and Urquijo is the politician's first couple since he became mayor of Madrid in 2019. The proximity to his victory at the polls last Sunday suggests that the couple was waiting for the May elections to pass to be seen in the capital, and it is that after election day they enjoyed a discreet getaway through the north of Spain.
After the news broke, Teresa Urquijo y Moreno was captured on camera again this Tuesday and offered some brief statements that define how discreet she is going to be about her relationship with Almeida when asked by journalists.
Excusing herself because she had a "work lunch", Teresa Urquijo has answered in the affirmative when asked if she is happy and in love with the mayor of Madrid. "Yes, very happy", she has confirmed before the cameras of Europa Press. Ella Urquijo has avoided revealing what she likes most about her partner and she has not wanted to address the comments about the age difference with the politician either.
Teresa Urquijo y Moreno is 26 years old —Almeida turned 48 in April— and she studied the double degree in Law and Business Administration at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas ICAI-ICADE, one of the most prestigious in the capital. In addition, she is the daughter of Lucas Urquijo Fernández de Araoz and Beatriz Moreno and Borbón.
Lucas Urquijo Fernández de Araoz is a man known in the business world for having been director of communication for the pharmaceutical company Roche Farma, and he is the great-grandson of the doctor, scientist and writer Gregorio Marañón. His mother, Beatriz Moreno y de Borbón, is the daughter of Íñigo Moreno Arteaga, Marquis of Laserna, and Teresa de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón-Parma, first cousin of King Juan Carlos.
It is also known that Teresa Urquijo has worked as an analyst at JP Morgan and that she currently has a job in the financial department of the company Merlin Properties, specifically, as an analyst. She previously worked in international companies in Manila, London and Mexico City, and speaks three languages. In addition, her brother, Juan Urquijo, was associated with Victoria Federica, but it all remained rumors.
