When we talk about friendship in the world of entertainment, the name of Antonio Orozco and Pablo López does not go unnoticed. Known for their camaraderie and heartfelt support for each other, these artists have shared more than a decade of unforgettable moments, on and off stage. However, in a recent appearance on El Hormiguero with the rest of the La Voz coaches, both singers brought out a lesser-known facet of their relationship: that of crisis and distancing.
“Our relationship has taken a hit,” said Pablo López on the Antena 3 program, highlighting a period of disconnection between the two. Antonio Orozco supported his words and added: “We have had a marital crisis.” Far from hiding their moments of tension, the artists decided to share with the public that, like any human relationship, the friendship between them has also had its ups and downs.
This distancing was not a minor issue. As both artists admitted in the program, this episode of tension affected not only their personal relationship but also their professional sphere. Orozco explained that the crisis was due to differences in the “personal field” that they did not specify, but that had a clear impact on their professional collaboration.
It is not surprising, given that the relationship between these two musicians has been multifaceted: they have worked together, they have shared stages and they have been recurring figures on television. Furthermore, as they themselves have acknowledged, the coronavirus pandemic brought them together a lot.
To “get back on track” between them they had to have a sincere conversation. Despite the separation, both artists highlighted the importance of open communication to overcome differences and rebuild their relationship. That conversation allowed them to regain their personal and professional harmony, further consolidating their bond.
To understand the magnitude of this distance, we must consider the deep admiration that both have for each other. “Antonio’s greatest virtue is being Antonio. He is a character and an unrepeatable person,” commented Pablo López in an interview for Pronto magazine. Along the same lines, Orozco has expressed on numerous occasions his respect and affection for Pablo, highlighting that he is “one of the most beautiful people” he has ever met.
