“Sorry, I’m here with a bad face because I don’t rest much with my daughter, she’s wonderful, but she doesn’t stop and she takes away all your energy!” This is how Edurne went to the interview she gave to Cosmopolitan a few days ago. The woman from Madrid is immersed in her new professional stage, more empowered than ever, but without leaving her motherhood behind.
Edurne is proud to be a mother and has never hesitated to show off it on social networks. Yanay, the singer’s daughter with soccer player David de Gea, has just turned two years old and her mother wanted to celebrate it through Instagram with a series of photos and videos accompanied by the phrase: “Happy birthday my little bug !! 2 years making me the happiest and luckiest mom in the world!”
The eldest daughter of the presenter and the Manchester United player loves to be recorded while she sings, dances or plays with them. But, without a doubt, one of the things that she likes the most about her is to encourage her father during the matches, that he also wanted to send her a congratulations through social networks. “Happy Birthday my little princess. We love you very much,” the footballer has published, along with a photo of the little girl playing in the garden of her mansion in the English city.
But if Edurne has learned anything during her maternal stage, it has been to love herself. The one that she was a representative in Eurovision 2015 has assured for the aforementioned magazine that it has been difficult for her to go through this process. “I feel full since I was a mother, despite the fact that many think that being a mother means that you are no longer young or fun,” says the singer.
Edurne is one of the most recognized artists on the Spanish music scene, although lately she has focused more on her facet as a jury in different talent shows. However, the “Sunrise” singer returns to do what she loves most about herself and she is involved in her new musical stage with the release of a new single, before releasing her new album. A song where the Madrid woman launches a song to female empowerment, of which she has been proud in her last appearances.
“We girls have always had the pressure of trying to please others and we have forgotten what we like to prioritize what others like. This is not required of men, they are not asked to have to be thin , well combed, they are not judged so much,” says the singer.
Edurne’s fight against sexism in music has intensified in recent years. The artist has assured in Cosmopolitan that she has experienced situations in which she has been scolded with “don’t go with that short skirt” or “oh, how much cleavage!”, and that men “have it easier than us to act in certain sites”.
In addition, he did not want to miss this opportunity to talk about the machismo that revolves around the world of football. As a soccer player’s wife, the singer suffers this problem every day. “I am not the only wife of a soccer player who has been labeled as a ‘girlfriend of’ or who has been blamed when her partner’s team loses. We must legislate against machismo in sport,” Edurne sentence in said interview.
