Totana’s ‘star’ confirms in an interview that she wished it had never happened: “It has not been good for me”
There is no doubt that Bárbara Rey is one of the characters of the moment, thanks to the series “Christ and King”, which has just been released. It tells the life and love story between the actress and ‘star’ of Totana and the one who was her partner, the tamer Ángel Cristo. Belén Cuesta and Jaime Lorente play the married couple in the series that made Rey cry at the premiere because, according to her own account, it represented a surprising return to the past.
In her last appearance on television, in the Antena 3 program Yahora Sonsoles, where she did not hesitate to throw an arrow at certain Telecinco programs, as well as in the recent interview published by Vanity Fair, the actress has expressed her opinion given about the series and the actors, of whom it is striking that they have completely immersed themselves in the characters and have managed to capture their essence better. But above all, Bárbara Rey has not hesitated to raise issues that have been debated for years, such as the relationship she had with King Juan Carlos. It is the first time that Bárbara Rey speaks of the famous romance, of course.
“I had to say it, and I had to say it. He was the only one missing,” says the actress, pointing out that “whenever something happens in the life of King Juan Carlos, I appear.” She does not hesitate to confirm that everyone talks about her and her life and that she have said a lot “without having a clue”. In all that time, many rumors about their relationship have come out, such as alleged recordings of the emeritus king or alleged payments he made with public money, but she assures that it is all false is: “They don’t stop lying and saying barbarisms. I’ve had some problems, to blame a lot of people and people you can’t imagine. Since I’ve been living off government money, please! That’s mighty strong !”
In the Vanity Fair interview, Rey revealed details that have never been confirmed before. His relationship with the emeritus began in 1975 and ended when he married Ángel Cristo in 1980, although they occasionally spoke on the phone throughout their marriage. Once he divorced the tamer in 1990, the story continued for a while, until it was finally closed four years later because “Don Juan Carlos met another person”.
During the time they were together, the actress assures that there were real feelings: «I loved him very much. What happens is we had a pact from the start, he had his life, I had mine. We knew there couldn’t be anything else.” On the part of the monarch, he also acknowledges that there was a lot of affection: “Whether he loved me or not … I think in a big season, yes. But I knew I had nothing could aspire otherwise,” says the “star.” Despite the feelings, Rey admitted to Sonsoles Ónega that the relationship had taken its toll on him: “I’ve been hurt a lot. I wish it had never happened. It hasn’t been good for me .”
