The businessman and former contestant on the program Who wants to marry my son?, Rafa Mateo, suffered a stroke yesterday that endangered his life. During long and agonizing hours in which the 29-year-old’s family feared the worst, Mateo pulled through and is now in a stable recovery in hospital.
”Rafa Mateos suffered a stroke. He is under observations ”, someone from his close circle wrote on his official Instagram account to try to calm the anxiety of the fans and followers of the young businessman to know how he was doing.
All the details of the event are still unknown and whether the stroke suffered by the 29-year-old will cause some kind of physical or mental sequelae, but if we look at the stories that the man from Marbella has uploaded to his Instagram we can deduce that he is still under observation and that they are doing many tests to rule out serious problems.
Mateo became very famous after participating in the 2015 Cuatro program Who wants to marry my son?, a reality show that he attended with his mother MarÃa Luisa. Although the television space gave him fame and popularity, the businessman moved away from the television world and only appeared on the sets to defend his brother Christopher in Survivors, who finally won the program.
Although Mateo has his own businesses and boasts of having a high standard of living, he also has a large presence on social networks. In his Instagram account alone, he accumulates more than 355,000 followers, a figure envied by many content creators in our country.
Before launching the statement where he explained what had happened to him and uploading another photo where a machine can be seen to show that they are doing all kinds of tests, the man from Marbella uploaded a photo dedicated to a very special girl for him: “Surprised to open your eyes and see you here…”.
In the photograph you can see Mateo on the hospital bed while shaking hands with an anonymous woman. Although the image is being highly commented on social networks, it is still unknown who the woman with red nails who went to the medical center to accompany the businessman is. The one who has not ruled on the event is Christopher Mateo, to whom many people have come to ask about the state of health of his brother.
