After a complicated year marked by their separation, Malu (Madrid, 1982) has shown that she is more radiant than ever. The singer, who is celebrating 25 years on stage, has shown that the almost three-year break she took as a result of a complicated ankle injury and of birth of his daughter Lucia It has helped him return with recharged forces, new ideas that he has not hesitated to capture in his songs and a new hope in love that he has not hidden.
Paco de Lucía’s niece now presents her new single, a song she has called ‘With you’ and in which he collaborates with the American composer and singer Prince Royce. Some Latin rhythms with which the 42-year-old from Madrid lands this Monday on ‘El Hormiguero’, the Pablo Motos program that she already attended a few weeks ago on the occasion of the premiere of the new edition of ‘La Voz’.
For her part, on the more personal side, the ‘Blanco y negro’ interpreter has once again demonstrated her secrecy in recent months. After facing a few complicated years after becoming a mother and separating from her ex-partner, the politician Albert Rivera, Malú would have regained her hope with a new love. We review everything you need to know about the singer’s private life.
A tough illness and the injury that kept him from music
The last few years have not been easy for Malú in the field of health. After more than 25 years of career, the Madrid native looked forced to cancel her tour and take a break after suffering an ankle injury for which he had to undergo surgery. «In the general rehearsals, five days before starting, I stepped on a screen, My foot bent and I tore the ligaments in my ankle.», said the artist in an interview in ‘Traveling with Chester’.
At that time, despite the severity of the injuries, the singer tried to prevent the tour from being canceled: “I’m not having surgery. We postponed the tour, I made a conservative plan, I stayed at 46 kilos, I worked hard with physical therapy… And I did it, I did 11 concerts. But I started having pain and the traumatologist told me that either I had surgery now or I got a prosthesis. It was the first time that I alone said ‘I can’t, I have to stop’», he then explained.
Although at that moment he felt terrible about having to leave “people without work”, the truth is that this break helped him disconnect and he realized how necessary it was: “When he had been with his paw up for a month, with the boot, I thanked life in all possible languages. I realized that I had needed to stop for a long time. During that time I experienced many things, I had my daughter». Now, the singer has faced her return to music with a different mentality.
The other major health setback that has affected Malú during his life has been photodermatosis. This disease, which many have vulgarly nicknamed sun allergyconsists of a skin condition that causes abnormal skin reactionsIt is exposed to ultraviolet radiation and usually manifests itself in the arms, neckline or legs. That is why the interpreter of ‘Blanco y negro’ cannot remain exposed to sunlight for long without protection, something that prevented the artist from posing with her daughter when leaving the hospital.
The reason for the breakup between Malú and Albert Rivera
Always very discreet when it comes to her relationships, Malú has been the protagonist in recent years of some of the most high-profile relationships on the Spanish scene. The singer dated the presenter for almost three years Gonzalo Mirofrom whom he separated at the end of 2017. A few months later the surprise came when some media outlets confirmed the relationship between Malú and the former Ciudadanos politician Albert Rivera.
The couple, who had met years before at a concert in Barcelona when they both had a partner, met in 2018 at the 50th birthday of Alejandro Sanz and it was there that an idyll began that they always carried on in the strictest privacy. Barely a year later, the first images together appeared and that same year, the couple announced that they were going to be parents. «I am very excited to be able to share with you this wonderful gift that life has given us: Let’s be parents! We would like to live this desired pregnancy with the greatest peace of mind to be able to enjoy it as it deserves,” Malú wrote on her social networks.
However, the romance between the two would not end up prospering. In July 2023, the singer announced her breakup with Albert Riverathree years after becoming parents of little Lucía. A separation that, from those around the couple, they attributed to a “relationship wear and tear”: «I am not nor will I be the first nor the last person to separate. Sometimes you believe in something and You fight for it with all your might. But sometimes it doesn’t happen. And it’s no one’s fault, it’s neither bad nor good, it just happens. So you have to try to understand it and assume it in the best way possible,” he said in an interview for Elle magazine.
A few months later, the interpreter gave more details about the reasons for this breakup in an interview with Risto Mejide. During his time on ‘Travelling with Chester’, the publicist wanted to know if the arrival of a son multiplies what there is in a couple, something to which the singer could only agree: «I think so, presented as good and bad. Also I think it separates a lot if the two people are not in the same place.. Create a world,” he then revealed, alluding that fatherhood could have affected their relationship.
Despite having broken off their relationship, Albert Rivera and Malú today maintain a cordial relationship for the good of little Lucía, who has just turned four years old. As explained before the Europa Press microphones, the artist is handling shared parenting “very well” together with his ex-partner, who are making conciliation very easy for him: «I can’t be happier», he then admitted about the relationship with the former politician, who has rebuilt his life with the influencer and designer Carla Cotterli.
His new relationship with a member of his band
In recent months, just like her ex-partner did, Malú would also have rebuilt her life with a new man. This was announced by Semana magazine just a month ago, explaining that the singer could have regained her hope in love with a person in her closest environment. «This time, the person with whom the singer I would be excited, she dedicates herself to the same thing as her, music», they said then in said publication.
It would be about Angel Fernandeznicknamed ‘The Turk’, one of the members of your production teamwith whom he began a relationship a few months ago and who, according to some media, had already met little Lucía and the singer’s mother. He was seen next to him this summer traveling in Ibizawhich increased rumors that there could be something more than a professional relationship between the two.
However, for the moment the singer has preferred to display her usual discretion and has not confirmed the nature of the relationship that exists between the two. Of course, at the party for the 30th anniversary of the Tacha Beauty beauty center she did speak of the good time on a personal level that she was having when asked by the press: «Everything is super good, everything is great…I’m very cute, I’m happy. Don’t you see me?“Do I think I’m bad?” I then conclude, leaving the door open to this new illusion.
