Fernando Sánchez Dragó died this Monday of a heart attack at his home in the Soria town of CastilfrÃo de la Sierra (Soria). The writer leaves an important cultural and personal legacy, because the man from Madrid was the father of four children (Alejandro, Ayanta, Aixa and Akela) from four different sentimental relationships.
The writer, involved in numerous controversies due to his sexual life, was proud of each one of them: “I have four children, but all of them are, in a way, unique, because they are from different mothers and each one is ten years or More with the next. My eldest son is now sixty-two, the second fifty-three, the third forty-one, and the little one nine,†he tweeted last August.
Despite the age difference between them, Sánchez Dragó assured that they all had a good relationship: “But they all feel like brothers. I have done something right in the midst of so much troubleâ€.
The first son of Fernando Sánchez Dragó was Alejandro Sánchez, the result of his relationship with Elvira Salama, whom he met while a prisoner of the Franco regime and whom he married in prison. The journalist later described that relationship as a mistake.
In another stage of his life, the writer traveled to Italy and met Caterina Barilli, a history and philosophy teacher with whom he was the father of his first daughter, Ayanta Barilli. She is a well-known journalist and writer, a Planeta Award finalist in 2018.
Sánchez Dragó had a third daughter named Aixa Sánchez Sáinz, the result of his relationship with the French Martine Sáinz, with whom he never married. Then came Naoko, a Japanese woman with whom he was married for almost thirty years. They had a child together: Akela Sánchez.
Currently, the writer was in a relationship with Emma Nogueiro, a young journalist with whom he shared hobbies such as bullfighting, cats or writing. Also political affinities, both very close to Vox.
He had no children with Nogueiro, although their relationship was full, according to Sánchez Dragó, who on more than one occasion showed off his active sexual life. “I give you my word of honor, and once again they are going to give birth to me and they are going to eat me, and once again I refer to the testimony of others that I, for example, with my current girlfriend become 18, 20 or 22 orgasms in one sex session,” boasted the writer on the podcast What You Say.
