Candela's wedding, daughter of Julia Otero, has brought the communicator back into the media spotlight, not because of her work, but for something unusual: she has shared a photo of the event. This seemingly simple gesture has had a major impact, since the journalist has always kept her personal life absolutely private. Following this family moment, many have recalled an interview broadcast on Lo de Évole, where Otero revealed to Jordi Évole the best-kept secret of her love life.
In that meeting, Évole achieved something few have managed: Julia talked about how she has experienced love and what place it has held throughout her life. What exactly did the journalist confess? Who is that person whose identity still remains in the shadows?
Julia Otero opens her heart to Jordi Évole and tells him her secret about her love life
Julia Otero is, without a doubt, one of the great communicators in our country. Since her beginnings, on La luna, she has been synonymous with rigor, talent, and charisma. But while her career has been public, her private life has followed a very different path: always under lock and key.
Over the years, she has kept a strict protection of her privacy, avoiding entering the media exposure that so many public figures are part of. However, with Jordi Évole, Julia let her guard down.
During the interview, Julia Otero not only reviewed her professional career, but she also talked about her way of experiencing motherhood, grief, and, above all, love. In a particularly intimate moment, she revealed how demanding her professional life has been.
Otero explained that after having her daughter, she barely had any time to take care of her: "I was only on maternity leave for three months (3 meses). At three months (3 meses), Felipe González granted me an interview and I left. I had to wean my daughter because of the interview," she confessed.
The intensity of her story increased when she talked about another difficult moment: her father's death. Another moment when her profession kept her from being present during an important process for the family. "My father also died and I had to leave the next day to record," she confessed with a trembling voice.
She then added a reflection that has strongly resonated with many women. "I don't want anything that being a woman implies to make my productivity and my performance more difficult. That's a very heavy burden that we women carry and from which we're gradually freeing ourselves, fortunately," she emphasized.
Julia Otero admits to Jordi Évole that she had a partner who was more important than herself
This very personal context was the perfect prelude for Jordi Évole to address an intimate question: her love life. "How have your partners handled it?" the host asked. Julia replied naturally: "As best they could, let them manage," she said, laughing.
But then, she took on a more serious tone: "It's not easy, because all of them have been in some way 'Mr. Otero.' They may have handled it better or worse, but I have an important memory of the men in my life. I think, in general, they've lived up to it and they've known how to accompany me throughout my professional life."
It was at this point in the conversation that one of the most surprising revelations occurred. "How many important men have there been throughout your life?" Jordi Évole asked her.
Julia replied: "Important ones, few. About three or four." Then, the host took a risk with a more incisive question: "Have you ever had a partner more important than yourself? Even if they're not one of the important ones."
After a few seconds of silence, Julia said yes, adding: "My life has been very well kept. You'd love to know, wouldn't you?" At that moment, Évole, without hesitation, replied with a firm statement: "I do know."
That sentence unsettled Otero, who couldn't quite believe that her interlocutor had that information. But he insisted: "I do know, Julia, but I'm not going to say it because I see you don't want to say it. Besides, I think it's very good that you keep your private life."
Then, Jordi Évole showed her a card with some initials written on it. Julia looked at it carefully and confirmed that he was right. He encouraged her to reveal the name, but she refused, keeping the mystery.
The fact that Jordi Évole claimed to know and that she confirmed he was right has opened the door to all kinds of theories. Is it a journalist? A politician? What is clear is that Julia Otero once again proved why she's such a respected figure: she knows when to speak and when to remain silent.
