With these words he announced Francisco Rivera who is expecting her fourth child, the third next to Lourdes Monteswhom he defines as “the owner of every beat of my heart.” Curiously, he announced it on September 14, a date full of meaning since that same day, but in 2013, they contracted a civil marriage in Ronda (Málaga), a wedding from which HELLO! exclusively showed the images. While they are looking forward to the little one in the house, the right-hander himself has told what the moment was like when he found out the happy news.

I mean, I can’t believe it,” Francisco said in a preview of what will be his interview in Fridaya Telecinco program presented by Beatriz Archidona and Santi Acosta. The couple will welcome a child in April, whom the older siblings are also looking forward to: Carmen, who was born in August 2015; Curro, which came into the world in January 2019; and Cayetana, born in 1999 as a result of the marriage of the right-hander and Eugenia MartÃnez de Irujo.
Tana, as she is called around her, has just celebrated her 25th birthday with an impressive masked ball and has confessed be “very happy” for the family to grow.

In the first months of pregnancy she said that I was very tired: “Whatever they say, the energy and health of thirty is not the same. I am infinitely more tired, I already have two children and it is not the same. I am noticing it a lot. I want the nine months to pass and have the baby. I would skip the pregnancy process because I want to be 100% with my children, follow my rhythm and I can’t.”

Son, grandson and brother of bullfighters, he remains passionate about his profession, to which he has dedicated himself body and soul, but he is certain that he left at the perfect time. Now he dedicates himself to the business and artistic world, since he is successful with the group One and we’re gone. Music is also very present in his house because his wife is the niece of José Manuel Soto and his children are also dedicated to singing.
A fair that changed everything
Francisco and Lourdes met at the April Fair in Seville in 2011 and for the right-hander it was a real crush. In fact, that same day he introduced her to a friend as “the woman I’m going to marry.” He wasn’t wrong. Thirteen years later they have formed their dream family and are waiting for the little one in the house, for whom they are considering names like Marcos and Nicolás. The key to her happiness, according to what she said in a podcast by her sister Sibi, is being different and at the same time having many points in common: “I think that is the secret for a couple to work. We compensate each other quite well, we are generous in the “It’s time to divide our time and then I think that the anger lasts very little, which is very important, neither of us are resentful.”
