With a big smile and eager to enjoy a fun night, José Luis Martínez-Almeida has crossed the threshold of the set of The Hormiguereither. The mayor of Madrid has attended the television program to talk about the challenges and achievements of his management of the capital, share his vision on current issues, give his opinion on the management of DANA and, of course, to answer all and each of the questions that Pablo Motos has asked him, including questions related to with his personal life and his marriage.

A question to which the politician, unable to help but smile at the happiness that invades him at the stage he is living, has answered that “very good, I’m telling you honestly, very good.”

Marriage is giving yourself to each other and The complicated thing is to be truly at her level, because being at the level of a person like Teresa is not easy and I am going little by little.“. An uncertainty that disappeared immediately, to which she has quickly adapted, and from which, every day, she learns something: “I am also learning things like dressing in the dark, since I get up earlier than her. I’m taking the socks, the pants, you don’t know how they look but you can manage. But look, I’ll tell you one thing, I’m leaving home happy,” he explained jokingly.

I told you that I was Latin and She is Latina plus, because she throws more cans than I do. Her mother, who is wonderful, who by the way, if she is watching me, I have extraordinary luck with my mother-in-law, He gave us a kitchen robot. Well, it serves the same purpose as a vase.”
The politician has felt so comfortable speaking with the host of the Antena 3 format, that he has told how it started his love story with Teresa Urquijothe eldest daughter of Beatriz Moreno de Borbón-Dos Sicilias and Lucas Urquijo Fernández de Araoz. “She took the initiative. We met at an art fair for the first time and we met two more times by chance. That’s when she took the initiative and asked me for my contact. I gave her my email and after she wrote, I replied that I had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday free for her,” Almeida explained with a laugh.

I have to mention enthusiasm, which is always important in life. We rehearsed it for only an hour and it was the most wonderful moment of the wedding, really because only each other existed, even though I knew there were hundreds of people.” Right at that moment, the member of the Popular Party, excited, recalled that “I felt like it was just me and her. We weren’t looking anywhere else but at us.”

The problem will be when the children come. Me for now, until they come.” children, I have given in everything, let’s see if when they arrive, she has the generosity to grant me just that, but I’m not entirely clear,” he explained with a laugh. Before finishing this matter, he has confessed that he has a habit that makes Teresa Urquijo very nervous: “Whenever I arrive at a table, I have to place the cutlery, plates and glasses in a line, even when I am going to the gala dinner at the Royal Palace. It comes to me from when I was taking the exam, that until I had my perfect table, I couldn’t start studying.

Our house is not very big and we put the clothesline in the kitchen, which she likes. She doesn’t like it and neither do I. I arrived earlier and picked it up so she wouldn’t find it,” he said. To the laughter of Pablo Motos and company, she defended herself: “Others give flowers, jewelry… I pick up the clothes, everyone does what it costs them. See if she was surprised that she asked me ‘Do you feel guilty about something?’ ?
