Almudena Cid is full. This 2023 has begun in a radically opposite way to how 2022 began, after her bitter and unexpected divorce from the presenter Christian Gálvez, after more than a decade together. After several months in which she confessed to having lived through a real emotional hell -even more so when she saw that her ex-husband remade her life with the journalist Patricia Pardo-, the athlete knew how to get ahead.
A 2023 in which Almudena is delighted with her successes as an actress and writer -she launches her novel, Caminar sin punteras, on April 3-, in which she lives happily with her new partner, the sports agent Gerardo Berodia; and in which she is more than strong enough to talk about the past.

According to the former gymnast, she had such bad times that it affected her a lot on a physical level: “I lost many kilos, I don’t want to see myself like this again. You have to eat, sleep and breathe,” she said, before going on to talk about the end of her relationship with Gálvez: “I still idealized what I thought that relationship was but I am clear that it confused me and everyone around me, it was like a bomb”.
For the athlete, the closest thing to what she experienced was “as if you are preparing a wedding and, without knowing why, the groom doesn’t show up and you stay there with all the undistributed gifts for the guests.” The worst, having to manage everything by herself, used to fend for herself and not asking for help even when she needs it. At first she had a hard time getting ahead, but now she is proud of everything she has managed to overcome in recent months.
“Luckily, I can now talk about it, noticing that I’m fine. My family watches me and sees me in good condition. The line of depression is so complex that you have to be careful because you can pass it. Terrible options passed through my mind. head”.
