Bertín Osborne returns to public after illness, praises partner Gabriela Guillén

Spanish singer and presenter Bertín Osborne made a public appearance at the second edition of the Beef Awards in Madrid, accepting a prize on behalf of the Fundación Kike Osborne. He confirmed that he has recovered from a recent bout of pneumonia and COVID‑related respiratory problems, saying, “I am fine now, but I went through a terrible time.”

During the event, Osborne spoke about the still‑uncertain long‑term effects of COVID‑19 and urged patience for future scientific findings. He also expressed strong support for Gabriela Guillén, the mother of his younger son David, describing her as “a wonderful, discreet young woman who works very hard.” Guillén recently suffered a business setback after a partner abandoned their beauty‑salon venture, leaving her in debt, which Osborne condemned and pledged to help.

Osborne concluded by mentioning his family, including his pregnant daughter Claudia, and his desire to reunite all his children despite logistical challenges, while preparing for small‑scale concerts ahead of a larger tour later in the year.
