Reactions Sara Denez denies the information linking her to Iker Casillas: "I have my partner"
Relationships A game of Parcheesi with the family: the plan of Sara Carbonero and Iker Casillas after announcing their separation
The concept of "ideal son-in-law" is as imprecise as it is volatile, as there is no clear model.
Until the irruption of the
Martínez-Almeida
beast
, ideal sons-in-law in Spain have been from
Cayetano Rivera
to
Iñaki Urdangarin
, and even diverse candidates such as
Jaime Bores
,
Miguel Ángel Muñoz
or
Fernando Verdasco
have deserved sighs from potential mothers-in-law
.
Now, if the diffuse category of ideal son-in-law is recognized by qualities such as
formality, oral hygiene, discretion, Apollonian beauty and a healthy checking account,
then an ideal profile is that of Iker Casillas, who in his good days made us sigh adolescent girls and fell in love with mothers who aspire to marry their daughters "well".
Casillas is, as the actor Dirk Bogarde said of himself,
"an orderly man."
At a time when soccer began to fill with tattoos, plucked eyebrows, bows and parties, he exemplified something else:
not attracting attention,
dressing like an insurance salesman and going home from training without going through the Buddha.
Like Iniesta or Puyol, he was
chivalrous in the field, he
dodged the pink press like Neo the bullets, and on top of that he won pasta and European cups.
He was never known to stray into the wild side of life.

When it became known about
his relationship with
Sara Carbonero,
there were more nods than envies.
The most beautiful woman in Spain
accepted the genes of the exemplary man, and the mothers of the country had to hide their frustration at not having been awarded in the lottery.
The more than 10 years of relationship, until the break-up announcement, sustained the impression that, even in the difficulties,
Casillas had acted with elegance.
"Casillas is one of the public figures
with the best image",
highlights Santiago de Mollinedo, general director of the marketing consultancy Personality Media.
"His lowest moment was when he left Real Madrid, but when positive news came from Portugal, and especially from the disease, people have reacted positively."
But there is a novelty: the latest cover of
Semana
could
crack that impression
during the hangover of the break-up announcement.

The magazine claimed that Casillas had a "new friend", who is also called Sara Dénez, a flamenco singer whom he met thanks to Alejandro Sanz, and with whom he would have spent the weekend.
She denied the information on Instagram by posting a photo with her boyfriend, and thus the matter was settled.
But this question does not hide the runrún that ran through the final stage of the Casillas-Carbonero relationship: while it was known of the near end of the affair, it
was speculated whether there would be third parties,
as long ago it was discussed whether the information on the wardrobe of the Real Madrid in Mourinho's time came from his environment or elsewhere.
"What happens from now on
will depend on whether it has been a quiet separation,"
reflects De Mollinedo.
"Like what happened after the break between Paula Echevarría and Bustamante: if you talk about Casillas as a successful athlete, everything will remain the same.
If you talk about issues that harm his image, the perception will change."

Last summer, also in
Semana
, Casillas gave an interview to Gustavo González and that gave rise to much speculation.
She was talking about her 2019 heart attack and how she hadn't lived up to expectations during Sara's cancer treatment.
On Sunday, González intervened in
Socialité
de T5 and confirmed that the crisis already existed although it could not be said,
caused more by the wear and tear of the relationship
than by a hypothetical infidelity.
Now, at some point it will happen that Iker or Sara see other people.
The widespread feeling that the first will be Iker is what now modulates a subtle change in his public perception, since
the ban opens
after the rumor of
Semana
.
And it is that the ideal son-in-law has become
a tempting 39-year-old bachelor
who retains his appeal: the bearing, the savings, the charisma, the half Belmondo smile ...
