• Relationships The Infanta Cristina, partying in Madrid with Antonio Resines

  • Health Antonio Resines, after leaving the hospital: "They have literally saved my life"

Until a few months ago Ana Pérez-Lorente (56) was the

anonymous

partner

of Antonio Resines (67), a woman to whom few put a face and a name beyond the circles of national cinema, where she has also developed her

career as a producer

.

Her marriage, celebrated in the middle of the pandemic, and, above all, the revelations of Resines after overcoming Covid a month and a half after being admitted to an ICU, have placed her in the

media spotlight

when it was discovered that she is a true

socialite

, owner of a

agenda full of celebrities in which the Royal Family appears.

It was the actor himself who, in an interview on the Ser chain,

revealed that the Kings had called him to find out how he was,

that the Infantas Elena and Cristina had been very concerned about his health and that he

had arranged to have a coffee with the Queen Sofia.

We do not know if Don Juan Carlos called him from Abu Dhabi, but it is very possible, because his wife has had a close relationship with the Bourbons since she was a child and

shared a classroom, recesses and snacks in Zarzuela

with the Infantas.

The friendship has been maintained throughout all these years

and has been revealed this week on the cover of

Semana

, where

Resines and the former Duchess of Palma

appear leaving a

birthday party for some mutual friends.

The Infanta Cristina attended the dinner with the actor and his wife and appears in the photos smiling, wearing flip-flops and a summer dress, after enjoying an evening surrounded by "lifelong friendships" that, according to the magazine, she has recovered after the breakup of her marriage to Iñaki Urdangarin.

One of those "lifelong friends" is

Ana Pérez-Lorente

, whom she has known since she was 3 years old, as revealed to LOC by a person who knows the couple well.

"They have been intimate since they were very young

, since they met at school. Infanta Cristina and Ana are the same age and went to class together, but

she also became a close friend of Infanta Elena,

who is two years older," says that same person.

LOC has contacted the couple, who have declined to comment.

Ana and her sisters were students at

Santa María del Camino,

an elite school located in Puerta de Hierro, where

the Infantas studied

alongside other girls from

wealthy families

.

The school ceased to be exclusively female in 1978, when children were admitted from the infant classes, and it is currently a mixed center.

Resines' wife and some of those girls continue to form part of

the closest circle

of King Felipe's sisters.

They used to be

invited to snacks and birthdays in Zarzuela

and hence the

affection and interest shown by Queen Sofía

towards the actor -"the first person I spoke with was Queen Sofía, so you can see the level, we agreed to take coffee-", he said after leaving the hospital.

Hence also the

personal calls

of Kings Felipe and Letizia.

Ana is also a friend of the Monarch, whom she met as a child when he went to play with his sisters.

The cover of Semana magazine, with Resines and the Infanta.

"She was great, a very nice and charming girl,"

recalls another person who coincided with the producer in her student years.

The relationship has been maintained, as we have learned from the actor himself, that he said that "they wereapean" and they see each other.

For example, the Infantas were two of the guests at the party that Resines and his wife organized at a Madrid estate to celebrate their wedding, held in October 2020, and that they

had to postpone due to the pandemic

.

It is not the only VIP relationship of the couple.

Resines and his wife are

intimates of the financier Antonio Camuñas

and his wife,

María Escudero.

It was at his house that the birthday party reported by

Semana

was held .

Escudero is another of the closest friends in Cristina's circle, with whom

she shared a flat in New York

when she was studying for a master's degree in 1990. She is also a close friend of her cousin,

María Zurita

, who made her

godmother of her son. of her, Carlitos

.

Camuñas, for his part, told in

La Resistencia

de Broncano, where he went with Resines three years ago, that they have known each other since 1983, when they

coincided on a flight from Madrid to New York

.

30 years of relationship

Resines and Ana decided to get married after

30 years of relationship

and after overcoming two crises and breakups, one of them lasting six years, during which they had other relationships.

But they ended up coming back.

The wedding was celebrated with

Ricardo

, the son that Resines had with his first wife,

Marisol de Mateo

(daughter of judge

Fernando de Mateo Lage

, who was

mutilated by an ETA package bomb

), and some other relatives in a famous seafood restaurant near his house, in the Retiro neighborhood.

The big celebration, with several hundred guests, came months later.

Resines has always been very

reserved about his private life

, but he decided to break his silence with Bertín Osborne in a program broadcast in February 2020. At his home, and accompanied by

Jesús Bonilla

(

Los Serrano

) and his partner, he recounted how he they met

It was in 1992, at a traffic light, where they linked up.

He was with

Pedro Piqueras in one car and Ana with a friend in another.

The four of them ended up having a drink at Pachá and things went very well because

Piqueras and the friend maintained a seven-year relationship.

Resines and Ana have reached today.

After

overcoming cancer, arrhythmia

and Covid, the couple is closer than ever.
