After many rumors and photographs published in gossip magazines, Risto Mejide made official his new sentimental relationship with the pharmacist Natalia Almarcha, twenty-one years his junior. The presenter of Everything is a lie wanted to be honest about his new sentimental stage during one of the Focus reports, in Cuatro, which dealt with the age difference in couples.
Mejide, in addition to also talking about Laura Escanes and her breakup, did not hesitate to have the first words about his new girlfriend, Natalia Almarcha, of whom he said he had an essential condition for the relationship to work. “I have to be very respectful,” he assured.
During Risto Mejide’s talk with the Focus program, the publicist addressed the story of his latest book, based on the relationship between the composer Bach and his second wife, who was almost twice his age. A book that has served to close an important stage in his life, the one related to his marriage to Laura Escanes.
In fact, this literary project, Sixteen Notes, also helped him face the criticism that his relationship with a woman twenty-one years younger than him aroused. “I couldn’t have written it before,” he acknowledged. Although, he assured him, that writing it was a kind of therapy. “I have closed a stage, it has allowed me to close it well, with all the good and all the bad”.
Regarding his new sentimental relationship with the 27-year-old pharmacist Natalia Almarcha, Risto did not hesitate to confirm the news. That is, he finally made it official that he had a new girlfriend and made his first statements about it.
“I am with a person that I am getting to know, it is a relationship that has just begun, a stage that has just begun and, indeed, I am not going to disown and, on the contrary, I am in a very happy moment precisely for that reason,” he assured. However, he also made clear one of the essential conditions that her new partner has placed on him.
“Each couple requires a series of things from you and I want to respect one thing that she needs a lot, which is her anonymity,” she explained.
“She has her own career, she has her own objective and she considers that she does not want to be part of this exposure to which I have been subjected for many years by decision.” That does not mean that “someday we may go to a photocall because I ask her to come from her. Well, maybe I convince her, maybe not. I don’t know, ”she continued her.
And he insisted: “But I have to be very, very respectful of that because the relationship depends on it. For the media it will be just one more photo, for me it is my life”. And he also made it clear: “If I had wanted to hide, those photos would not have come out,” referring to the images published in Diez Minutos magazine.
But they chose not to hide and “to lead a normal life, as a normal couple. Because when those lights go out, I don’t lead a famous life, I go with my friends and my family and stop counting.
At another point, Risto even stuttered slightly when referring to his girlfriend Natalia, when describing how she is and what it makes him feel: “I have found a person who pursues the same goal as me, who likes music a lot, likes a lot of reading… In short, we have many common goals… and we’ll see how long it lasts”.
