Iñaki Urdangarin's situation has changed radically in recent months. What began as a new life full of hope alongside Ainhoa Armentia has become increasingly difficult. The couple are going through a complicated time that has affected their personal and emotional stability.
Iñaki chose to leave his judicial past behind and build something new with Ainhoa. For a while, both seemed determined to live discreetly, far from the public eye. However, reality has imposed itself with obstacles they haven't been able to overcome.
The former duke tried to relaunch his professional life with a personal and business coaching project. The initiative, called Bevolutive by Iñaki Urdangarin, emerged during his time in prison. With it, he wanted to show he was capable of reinventing himself and looking to the future with hope.
But the results haven't been the desired ones, and that has come at a cost for their relationship. Although he prepared with effort and dedication, the project has had very little reception in the market. Several companies have refused to collaborate with him for fear of damaging their reputation.
The turn in Iñaki Urdangarin's life
The past is still weighing too heavily, and the Urdangarin name generates distrust in the business world. Despite having served his sentence, many firms don't want to be linked to someone with such a worn public image. That lack of support has undermined Iñaki's morale and created tension around him.
Ainhoa has been by his side at all times, supporting him every step of the way. The accumulated frustration has also started to affect her mood. She is also tired of seeing how things don't move forward no matter how hard they try.
The couple no longer live with the joy of the first months. Before, they would walk relaxed, share plans with hope, and avoid outside problems. Now, worry and disappointment are part of their daily life.
Iñaki, who wanted to start from scratch, hasn't managed to fully leave his past behind. He has tried to keep strong, but the lack of professional success has affected his confidence. Every business rejection reminds him that society still hasn't fully forgiven him.
That constant pressure has also affected his relationship with Ainhoa. What was once a strong and enthusiastic connection has become more fragile and distant. They are still together, but the complicity is no longer the same.
Iñaki Urdangarin and Ainhoa Armentia want to protect themselves
Ainhoa Armentia has tried to stay out of the noise, focus on her work, and protect her privacy. Those around her acknowledge that the situation is starting to weigh on her. Living with constant media exposure and without real progress isn't easy for either of them.
The business project was their big bet to start a new life. It was also a way to offer Ainhoa a stable future by his side. However, the plans haven't worked out as they hoped and that has caused an unexpected turn in their story.
On an emotional level, there is wear and tear. Iñaki's work difficulties have ended up extending into his personal world. The initial hope has been replaced by doubts, silences, and a certain emotional distance.
This isn't a breakup, but it is a critical stage. The couple have reached a point where they need to reconsider many things. What once flowed naturally now requires constant effort.
Both know it's not easy to build something solid when the environment doesn't help. Iñaki carries a past he can't easily shake off, and Ainhoa has experienced it firsthand. Love isn't always enough when reality imposes itself harshly.
Despite everything, they keep trying to stay together. They're doing it from a different place than before, with fewer certainties and more obstacles. The turn in their relationship is evident and shows how dreams can change when life gets complicated.
