“Bertín Osborne, in the spotlight for statements about his son Kike: ‘Every time a beautiful woman comes in, he no longer looks at anyone else.’” “Bertín Osborne, about his son Kike, almost of age: ‘Every time he sees a pretty woman, he doesn’t look at anyone else. “It’s like me.” The headlines follow one another. And they reply. Really? Of everything that Bertín tells ¡HOLA! about his son Kike about to turn 18, Are we just left with the fact that the kid likes girls like his father? Is there something ‘wrong’ about a teenager Do you notice the beauty of the girls? Or is it that, because he has cerebral palsy, he can’t like them? It seems that there is a faceless public opinion that only emphasizes one line of text in an eight-page interview. In a joke about a young man whoAs is usually the case at 18, her hormones are raging..

Two kids, young, handsome, who were born into a known marriage and who have many things that characterize them as unique and independent human beings and others, that like everyone else, we inherit from our parents. Whether they are hobbies, eye color or tastes. Because Bertín also confessed to us that Kike he likes motorcycleswhat do you see Real Madrid’s matches with himthat he loves horses and that… yes, he is not an ascetic. Neither the Dalai Lama nor Sister Ángela de Cruz, no matter how much Fabiola points us outAlso, that this kid with a rascally smile is a teacher of life. A boy with vitality and energy who, despite his difficulties, gives lessons to everyone around him. From Carlos? They also told us things. For example, the normal thing that happens when your father, a singer who managed to snatch number 1 on the Top 40 from Freddy Mercury himself. He loves musical talents. Yes, also among other things. But let’s get to the interview…
© Javier Alonso– Fabiola. What is Kike like as a teenager? Because he’s turning 18
– FABIOLA: As a teenager… We have a lot of trouble (laughs) What do I mean by this? Well, sometimes he is very childish, he gets jealous, he wants to monopolize all the attention for himself… And he has learned very well what he doesn’t want. He knows “no” very well… When he doesn’t want something, he is blunt. Before, for example, he would play cartoons on TV and he would entertain himself… Now, he asks you for the motorcycles. Or he wants to watch football, you know? He has those points of character and personality that suddenly appear, because his personality is there and, many times, due to the lack of language or the lack of means to communicate, we are not able to perceive it perfectly, but it is there and it develops little by little. It’s obvious that Kike doesn’t have the mind of an 18-year-old boy, but… he’s no longer a baby. That is very clear to me.
– In fact, with a lot of personality. With his tastes, his things that he doesn’t like at all…
-FABIOLA: Sure, because it’s Kike. A boy, a person, with his personality. There are times when we think that because it doesn’t speak to you, it doesn’t exist… But yes, of course it exists. And it communicates. Maybe not with words, but there is a humanity there that you can connect with perfectly. Look at Alex Roca. He doesn’t speak. But he has found a way to communicate to the world all the inner world he has. For me, it is an example. I would love for Kike to have that possibility of showing the world everything that he carries. He has to get it out.
– Because I understand that there is a part of you, that as a mother, you would like to know about him, especially at this time when you have two! teenagers at home! And there is no more difficult age… Carlos and Kike, what is your relationship like now?
– FABIOLA: There are moments in which they have a little more complicity and others in which each one goes their own way. Kike loves watching motorcycle races on TV, Carlos the music competitions, all the talents. To him, a Got Talent he loves it. ¿The Voice? Lot. So, imagine when they start watching something on TV together… Kike always tries to get Carlos’s attention, and it is true that Carlos is now at a point where he, like all teenagers, comes home, locks himself in his room. and, well… they don’t share as much anymore. Neither with him nor with anyone.

– FABIOLA: But you won’t believe it. He is very sensitive when it comes to connecting with Kike. There are times when I don’t catch Kike and he tells me: “Let’s see, mom, he’s telling you this, don’t you realize? Think that they have been with each other all their lives… Now, they are at a different pace, but I understand that there will be a point at which they meet again.
– It’s just that the fifteen years…
– BERTIN: Neither, neither… Carlitos is a very measured, very balanced guy. It’s not like I was, who was a savage. Not him. He is a guy who is very much his age. And he’s super smart. He questions everything. All. My mother. He questions everything like his mother (laughs)
– You’re not one of those who puts up with “because I said so and that’s enough”, right?
– BERTIN: No, no, no. Because he also has a lot of culture, he is a guy who knows a lot. So, if he sees that what you are telling him is not what it should be, he stops. And I like that. I love it. I was much more of a guerrilla. I was tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, much worse than him. But he reasons. And it’s funny. First, because he has it and second, it gives me an idea of the level of personality he has.
– That means you have done well.
– BERTIN: I think so.
© Javier Alonso– I imagine that Carlos will also be involved in the foundation in some way.
– FABIOLA: I would love to, honestly. And even Bertín’s daughters could also be part of it in some way, because I believe that the value of this foundation is the family. Look at us, even though we are separated, family ties are still strong…
– BERTIN: Carlos helps. He goes as a volunteer, lends a hand in the workshops… Carlitos is a guy who when he has to lend a helping hand, he does. He is at the bad age of 15, but he helps. And he adores Kike, he has always been super involved with him. Carlitos is a child to steal.
– And you, Bertín. What is your relationship with Kike like?
– BERTIN: Kike is the protagonist. And as Fabiola told you, he likes everything that I like. Don’t tell me how or why but it’s incredible. And completely different from Carlos. The countryside, the horses, the football, the motorcycles. He’s crazy to sit with me and watch a soccer game. And it’s from Madrid. Well, every time a pretty woman enters the room, he no longer looks at anyone else (laughs). Carlitos, he skips football and rides a horse very well…
– Kike has the same smile as you… Carlos reminds me more of his mother.
– BERTIN. Because he’s darker and everything you want, but I have photos of a kid who look incredibly similar to Carlos. In terms of being, however, not so much. In that, Kike is exactly the same as me.
