Alicia Machado prepares for her daughter's university move to Madrid

Venezuelan former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, 49, said she has been in therapy since last year to cope with the upcoming departure of her 18‑year‑old daughter, Dinorah Valentina. Dinorah will move to Madrid, Spain, to begin university studies. Machado expressed pride and nostalgia, noting that her career has allowed her to provide the resources for the move. She plans to travel to Madrid to drop her daughter off and will return to her home in Miami, where she continues work in television.

The actress and former reality‑show contestant highlighted the emotional transition for both mother and daughter and emphasized her confidence in Dinorah's ability to thrive in Europe.
