Jorge Javier Vázquez is going through a very difficult time in his life. A few weeks before Sálvame, a program that he presented for 14 years on Telecinco, came to an end, the presenter announced through his social networks that he was retiring from public life for a while.
Since Vázquez published the statement on his official Instagram account, hundreds of gossip and rumors have filled the Internet. Everything pointed to the fact that Belén Esteban’s friend suffered a setback in his health that made him stop, but he did not make it clear.
”Your words make me smile, move me to tears and keep thinking that it was worth it. But sometimes you have to stop. The body and mind send you signals and throughout my life I have paid little attention to them. Until today. I need to stop to take care of myself. To ask me what I want. If I’m clear. If I don’t know, I better wait. Right now, going back is the last thing on my mind, although it may be what I most want tomorrow. Don’t know. So for now I can only say “Goodbye”. “As long as I can.” “Until I arise.” And, above all, thank you ”, wrote the very excited communicator in the post of his Instagram account.
During these weeks, many claimed that the presenter had stopped due to anxiety problems and others attributed his absence on television to the congenital aneurysm that caused a stroke in 2019. The journalist Diego Arrabal stated on his YouTube channel that Jorge Javier Vázquez had removed from the small screen due to medical problems: “They followed him (some reporters) to the hospital and it was learned that they were doing tests. If he does not say so, I cannot speak about what is happening to him, but come on, a problem of health is”.
David Valldeperas, former director of Sálvame, has visited the RAC1 program El Món to speak openly about the end of Sálvame and his professional future, as well as to take stock of the 14 years that this program dedicated to the tabloids has been on the air .
In said space they have asked him about Jorge Javier Vázquez and Valldeperas has replied that he has not spoken to him for a week, but that he is fine: “He is making his journey, yes, we would say that he is making his journey. It is fine, you can talk to him and he gives you explanations of things, but I think he needs his process. A lot has happened in the last few months”.
The one who was director of the space of the heart did not want to talk about the reason why his friend and colleague moved away from the spotlight, but he explained that they did not know until the morning of the last day that Vázquez would not be present.
”We were trying until the morning of the 23rd. There were possibilities of yes and no, we wanted to see if we could drag it. It is that an end without him is like the end is not written, because for it to end definitively he has to close the beach bar,” he said excitedly.
