The connection between Ana Mena and Abraham Mateo is undeniable. And it is that, not only their passion for music and their initials unite them, but their professional careers, which have been ascending in parallel since their childhoods. A friendship that culminated with Quiero decirte, their song together, which talks about the loss of love and which has more than 40 million views on Spotify.
This song is very special for the man from Cádiz, and even more special is singing it with his great friend. “Ana Mena, give me another chance”, that’s how Mateo changed the lyrics of the song when he had to say “Come on, please, give me another chance”, on La Noche de Cadena 100 last Saturday. A whole declaration of intent that could ratify the latest information from the Socialité program on the possible relationship between the two singers.
Last Thursday, March 16, the Dial Awards gala took place in Tenerife, and as usual an after party was held, which neither Ana Mena nor Abraham Mateo wanted to miss. And it is precisely this party that has generated a stir this weekend. The Socialité program has released a testimony that supposedly witnessed a rapprochement between the two friends.
“They sang together and then, during the celebration, they arrived later. They were together the whole time in full view of everyone, until they moved to a corner and gave free rein to their love with kisses, without cutting themselves,” says one of the party goers. “Then they went outside and sat on some stairs. They didn’t care if it was raining, they seemed in love,” he concludes.
However, it is not the first time that a sentimental relationship has been attributed to the Andalusians. For this reason, Semana magazine wanted to ask the protagonists themselves about these rumors on the red carpet of La Noche de Cadena 100. “It’s a lie, he’s like my brother. Seriously enough, it doesn’t make sense,” replied Ana Mena, downplaying it. On the other hand, Abraham Mateo did not want to answer and was separated by one of his team members, something that would have triggered even more alarms.
Ana Mena and Abraham Mateo have had a friendly relationship since their childhood and practically started their careers at the same time. In 2009 they coincided in the program Menuda Noche on Canal Sur and offered their first duet to the public. Little did they imagine then that they would sing together again more than a decade later, this time as stars.
“He has always been my friend. I remember that in the first contest in which I entered he was there, the first time we got on stage, it was together, it was incredible. I throw my head back and many times we talk about it and he I say: ‘You are aware of all the things we have experienced’. We were inseparable,” said the woman from Estepona about Mateo in her recent interview on Planeta Calleja.
However, after many years of friendship, their lives and careers had to separate to find their niches in the music scene. Abraham Mateo rose to fame at the age of 14 with his song Señorita, with which he managed to devastate and catapult his figure as a singer. Among his exploits, is singing with Jennifer Lopez or winning several awards, such as the Kids Choice Awards.
For her part, Ana Mena crossed Europe in 2018 to become a revelation singer in Italy. After achieving several hits, such as Una volta ancora, and participating in the San Remo festival, she returned to her homeland to start a successful career in Spain. With this, the lives of Mena and Mateo crossed again and everything indicates that they will not let them separate again.
