• RUPTURES Paulina Rubio and Colate face each other again in court for the custody of their son

Rogue, Lord, Seducer and gentleman

, would be too easy labels to summarize the character of a

of renowned psychiatrists, in addition to his sister

,

of the moment.

In short, a good boy who was king of the night,

in a Porsche and undertook businesses

that made him rich and also ruined him.

But he always fell in love with the most attractive girls,

, his most faithful friends have been the same since then.

"I have had it all. The most absolute luxury. And

in austerity. I have lost my fear of that. Ten years later, I know that I

because in

It's a very capitalist city. I don't like it... This is my emotional jail for the situation. I accept it," writes

in this autobiography,

The story I never thought I would tell (Harper Collins), which leaves melancholy and optimism at the end.

That of

but looks forward to better times.

You live in Miami, only because you share custody of your son Nicolás with his mother Paulina Rubio. It's the only reason.

Life in Miami is superficial, false, hard, you feel alone.

I am looking forward to living in my country, Spain, and I hope that this is closer every day.

Now I am a forced expatriate. Like King Juan Carlos.

He has just returned these days, like you. I'm very happy, it's normal.

He is someone endearing and special.

The most important Spaniard for my generation, the one who has done the most for Spain.

And everyone likes him. At this moment, there is not so much unanimity, but you have treated the father and son, you know them. They have come to our house in Pedraza, they love that place so authentic and endearing.

And I have gone to the house they have in Baqueira on occasion.

Once, walking with Don Juan Carlos,

I found a 500 peseta bill and he told me very nicely, keep it.

He had his face. You say that one night you went with King Felipe VI, then Prince of Asturias, to the Boccaccio nightclub in Madrid. He didn't stay long, I put up with it much longer.

We have many friends in common, I have known their Gómez-Acebo cousins ​​for a long time and I continue to treat them. Returning to the title of the book.

Who is Colate and who is Nicolás? Colate is the character, a funny guy who was once a slob.

Not much of the Colate remains from the book.

Nicolás is the most serious and formal person that I am.

Now I have much more fun being with my son, to whom I dedicate myself body and soul when he is with me.

We have just spent an incredible weekend at the Juan Sebastián Elcano.

In one of the quiet parentheses of his life,

Colate decided to do his military service on the legendary Spanish training ship, with which he traveled around the world 25 years ago on an exciting journey.

Last weekend, the Elcano docked in Miami.

Nicolás received an exciting distinction as a former crew member and spoke a lot with Queen Sofía, who was invited to various events on the ship.

"She was charming, she asked me about Pedraza, she talked a lot with my son and she remembered the last time we had also seen each other in Miami 11 years ago. It was one of the last times that I went to a public event with Paulina," he says. .Yours is a stormy separation that is repeated periodically in the American courts. That has not changed and unfortunately it is not going to change.

Harming the father of your child is not normal behavior.

They tell me that if it's harassment and I shoot down and I say that harassment yes, but I don't shoot down, here I am.

It was not expected that she would put up with so much.Has the biggest mistake of your life been Paulina Rubio?In a certain way, it is.

If I could go back I would try to avoid it or in any case I would better see the signs that life put in front of me. But love blinded me and it is something that has marked my life forever.

I also don't really like to lament what has already happened.

Life comes to you as it comes to you and that is what has touched me.

When the couple married in 2010, Colate had businesses in Spain and a company in Miami.

Things were going well for her but it was difficult to have a family life and be by her side with trips, concerts and commitments from one to the other.

He finally left everything to help the singer and as he himself defines, "

Colate was always more lovesick than flirt (which too).

He took his romances seriously even if they were short-lived.

And of the women who have passed through the life of the seducer of the book, he speaks above all of those relationships that were on the covers of the pink press, others he has left for the intimacy of his memory.

He talks about the model Inés Sastre, by Eugenia Martínez de Irujo, and surprises us when he discovers that he was in love, and reciprocated, with Caritina Goyanes.

"She was beautiful and charming, and her parents are like my family, I have a great affection for them. What happens is that her father did not like the relationship, probably because I looked too much like him," he says.

You also give clues about an intense and long relationship with the daughter of a banker, very media and very famous at the time.

Everything points to Mario Conde .... (If he knows, he doesn't answer).

And how did the Duchess of Alba like you? I don't know, she knew, but she never knew that there was something between Eugenia and me, nor did she do anything to get to know me because she wanted her daughter to be with her at all costs. Francis Rivera.

When I left Liria at night, the idea of ​​meeting Cayetana in one of those dark corridors terrified me, but fortunately I never ran into her. When you coincided with Isabel Pantoja in Survivors, there was also talk that there was something between the two.

But things did not end well. We were good friends and that some thought there was something more.

For my part, only sympathy and special affection.

He seemed like an interesting person.

But one day he attacked the one who was my best friend in the contest.

I got along very well with him and defended him.

With Pantoja either you are a friend to death or you automatically become an enemy.

So he thought he was terrible and he started attacking me too.

So I reported her because I caught her stealing food from us several times and that's fatal in a situation like this.
