Spanish singer and presenter Bertín Osborne sparked controversy during the Starlite Occident charity gala in Marbella by claiming he has not found love despite a 50-year search. Following these remarks, Osborne’s ex-wife, Fabiola Martínez, expressed sadness and confusion, stating she was deeply in love during their 20-year relationship. Martínez noted that when she sought clarification to explain the situation to their son, Osborne attributed his comments to the press. ~~As the situation developed, Martínez~~ She questioned the nature of their marriage, asserting that their relationship and the raising of their children were products of ~~love.~~ love, adding, “If for him it hasn't been... I don't know what to say.” Martínez further suggested his comments reflected a lack of self-love. Osborne’s daughter, Alejandra Osborne, intervened to clarify her father’s intentions, suggesting he used an unfortunate way to express himself. She noted that while his words “weigh and hurt a lot,” he has indeed been in love with both Martínez and his former partner, Sandra Domecq Williams. In response to the growing criticism, Osborne’s representative, Susana Uribarri, attempted to clarify his position. Uribarri stated that his words were misinterpreted and that Osborne was referring to his current state of being single rather than denying having experienced love in the past, citing his previous marriages as evidence of his capacity for affection.
