This Sunday marks 55 years since the birth of one of the most prominent aristocrats of our country, Eugenia Martínez de Irujo. The Duchess of Montoro, the youngest and only wife of the six children of Luis Martínez de Irujo y Artázcoz and Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, celebrates today a life full of happy moments, but also with some shadows. And in recent months, there have been several controversies that have plagued it. Despite this, this day will surely turn out to be very special for her.
The truth is that on a sentimental level, the duchess could not be in a better moment. After her divorce from Fran Rivera and several romantic relationships, she has found stability with Narcís Rebollo, the music director with whom she began her love story at the end of 2016. The couple married in Las Vegas in 2017, in one of the most iconic weddings in memory, since they were characterized as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. On the other hand, in November 2022, they renewed their vows in the same place but dressed as Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in the renowned film Grease.
On the other hand, at 55 years old, he maintains a very special relationship with his daughter Tana, the result of his previous marriage to Fran Rivera. Furthermore, the relationship between the former couple is more than good, so it is common for both, accompanied by their respective partners, Narcís y Rebollo and Lourdes Montes, to coincide in important moments for Tana, who is currently 24 years old. The truth is that Tana and Eugenia have always been very close, and this Sunday the young woman will surely dedicate some emotional public words to her mother, whom she fully admires.
But not everything can be joy… although we would all hope that it would be so. Regarding her family, the Duchess of Montoro is currently experiencing a very tense moment with her brother Cayetano. The relationship between the two already began to strain around a year ago, with Cayetano reproaching him in November 2022 for not attending the anniversary mass for the death of his mother. For a few weeks now, the brothers have also been in confrontation, and the tension between them has become evident in several events in which they have coincided and with their exchanged statements before the media.
“Since my mother died, she has joined other brothers and she has done without me,” said a hurt Cayetano a few months ago. At the baptism of Sofía, the second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Huéscar, a few months ago, Cayetano spoke with Europa Press and emphasized that “the only thing I said is that I have been trying to talk to her for months and that it is not possible.” The rider hopes that one day they can sit down and settle their differences in order to begin a relationship “with a full stop.”
The conflict, however, does not seem so insurmountable. The disagreement, it seems, goes back years. According to journalist Paloma Barrientos, part of the anger was due to the request for an alleged loan that Cayetano had requested through a company shared with his brothers for a value of three million euros. Cayetano’s objective was to make a reservoir in the Cortijo de las Arroyuelas, which the rest of his brothers refused, since it was a particular issue for a farm he owned, and they wanted to have some type of guarantee. . A decision that outraged the Count of Salvatierra.
But that is not all. A few weeks ago we learned that the Seville Prosecutor’s Office has accused the Duchess of Montoro of committing an alleged crime against the environment for “illegal removal in the waters of Doñana.” After this accusation came to light, Eurotecnia Agraria S.L. It separated Eugenia from the management of the entity. This also triggered an exchange of words with Cayetano. Be that as it may, and despite these latest controversies, Eugenia is sure to celebrate this day in style, just as she has accustomed us to. And if something is not missing, it is the desire to enjoy it and celebrate with your loved ones.
