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.
