Months later, rumors surrounding the crisis in their relationship have persisted. What began as an open secret became public knowledge last week: Malú and Albert Rivera ended their four-year partnership, sharing custody of their three-year-old daughter, Lucia.
Both partners have kept private matters private, and while some sources suggest the singer decided to end things weeks ago, others believe the split came from a mutual decision due to strain. The reasons cited include growing disagreements, friction in cohabitation, or possible third-party interference.
Albert Rivera and Malú part ways after four years together
One week after a close associate of the singer, Luis Rollán, acknowledged the breakup on a television segment, Albert Rivera appeared in public for his sixtieth birthday in a setting that drew attention. The event, held in Seville, showed the former Ciudadanos leader presenting himself as single, surrounded by conversations and moments that sparked discussion across several media outlets.
At the gathering, Rivera’s interaction with Fiona Ferrer, a familiar figure in the social scene, was described as warm and engaging. Attendees noted the visible connection and the ease with which the two spoke and shared small, intimate gestures throughout the day. Reporters described the atmosphere as charged by candid exchanges and an unmistakable sense of familiarity.
Very close
During a long conversation that lasted about forty-five minutes, others occasionally joined in, including brief moments when the two discussed topics that suggested a growing closeness. At one point, Rivera placed a hand lightly at the back of his neck, a gesture interpreted as reassurance or a sign of trust. Malú’s former partner was seen as relaxed, smiling, and attentive to the company around him.
Although many hoped for a decisive public statement, the record indicates that Rivera and the designer and writer have known each other for years. They have attended several social events together, including cultural gatherings in Madrid. On one occasion, cameras captured a moment of warmth between them as they greeted each other, prompting speculation about a possible new chapter in their relationship. Time will reveal whether this friendship evolves into something more, or remains a strong platonic bond as Rivera moves forward.
