María Patiño continues to feel the emotional hangover caused by the unexpected declaration of love from her partner Kiko Hernández in Sálvame. The collaborator opened up on the channel and did something unthinkable for the collaborators and viewers of the program: talk about her personal life. Not in any way, but up to her beloved pulpit and proclaiming to the four winds her love for her partner, the actor Fran Antón.
A speech that made all his teammates cry with emotion, Patiño being one of the most heartfelt, and who is probably still recovering from everything he experienced on Tuesday afternoon. Everyone knows how much the journalist lives these very real moments of love, and perhaps for this reason the gesture of her partner made her think of her own love story with the Venezuelan Ricardo Rodríguez, with whom she married in 2019.
A couple who have been in a discreet relationship for almost two decades and who decided to say ‘I do’ almost four years ago in a surprise wedding during an idyllic holiday in Sri Lanka. A celebration in which María Patiño looked radiant, dressed by Ion Fiz, forever joining the love of her life on the beach at sunset.
A secret wedding of which there are only a few images that the journalist herself contributed to her program, Socialité. However, perhaps intoxicated by the emotion of her partner’s love, she wanted to share an unpublished image of her own “madness of love”, as she has called that special day on Instagram.
A very special wedding, of which she herself was in charge of telling some details, such as that it had been for the Mayan ritual and during the day of her 48th birthday (August 15). The presenter assured that it had been her dream wedding: “I was very clear that I wanted it to be like this, near the sea, and to do it that way”, and although she did not have the presence of her parents, unfortunately – her mother died in 2014 and her father, in 2017-, assured that he felt them as if they were present. “The absence of loved ones makes up for you because you can take them anywhere in the world.”
María Patiño and Ricardo Rodríguez have been in a relationship for almost two decades, but the Venezuelan actor has always remained in a discreet background, despite the enormous popularity his wife enjoys. He is not too fond of being seen in the media, despite his profession as an actor, and the presenter rarely talks about him in public.
Ricardo, Richo, as everyone calls him; He comes from Caracas and has been in the art world since he was just a teenager. He first as an advertising model, later as an actor on television, participating in soap operas such as Love Spell. Success brought him to our country to try his luck, and that was how he met María Patiño, with whom he has maintained a sentimental relationship ever since. Now, as the presenter has ever mentioned, having her as her partner has not given her any advantage at work.
Despite having participated in series such as Gran Reserva or several short films and films, the actor seems to have found his place in advertising, being the image of many renowned brands such as Iberdrola or 100 Montaditos. Of course, he also has businesses on the side, and is currently the owner of a well-known restaurant in Madrid, as well as a yoga teacher.
The actor is very active on social networks, where he always shares very positive messages and details of his work. Of course, little of his personal side, so he continues to be María Patiño’s best kept secret.
