These could have been the first Christmas of the right-handed Juan Ortega and the cardiologist Carmen Otte as newlyweds, but instead, both have lived them with great sadness and dealing as best they could with the media pressure unleashed as a result of the sit-in that the bullfighter gave. to the woman from Cádiz just a few hours before saying “yes, I want.”
Almost a month has passed since the day they would have gotten married in front of 500 guests who still wonder what could have been going through Ortega's head, who fled to his native Seville, where he has taken refuge since then except for a couple of exceptions where it is said He was seen visiting two churches in Malaga and Madrid.
The right-hander's life has taken a radical turn in the last month, and although his name is no longer heard as much as in the hours after the alleged connection, he continues to disappear from public life. Recently, journalist Mónika Vergara stated that the right-hander was in Porto Alto, Portugal, specifically on the farm of a rancher friend of his, in order to escape that media pressure in our country.
However, it seems that Juan Ortega would never have left Spain. This is stated by Juan del Val, journalist and friend of the bullfighter, who in his last statements confirmed where he was and shed some light on his emotional state.
The writer already said that in no case was he a “spokesperson” for the bullfighter, but in his television interventions he does not hesitate to stand up for him as soon as his name comes to light. This was what he did in one of his last appearances, where he once again explained what happened during the most talked-about “sit-in” of the year, something that the journalist admits “surprised him.”
“I was surprised, of course. I know Carmen less. I have had dinner with her a couple of times, but my friend is Juan," he replied. It is then that the right-hander's friend revealed how he is and, above all, where. "He is calm. And he is in Spain," he added, contradicting the information given until then about his whereabouts.
“The information in general has been almost all wrong,” he confirmed, reiterating that the right-hander was in Spain and not in Portugal, as had been said.
Núria Roca's husband once again defended his great friend, whom he understood after having made what he has always described as a "difficult decision" and totally in tune with how he is. Now, he does not agree with the “deadlines” in which he had made said decision.
“It is a mistake in the deadlines because you cannot leave two hours before the wedding. But you have to understand that he is a thoughtful guy and does not betray himself. The decision he made has to do with his personality,” he stated.
