In Seville it has been known for years because they have never been hidden.

María del Monte and the journalist Inmaculada Casal

have been together as a couple

for 23 years

, as was made public during the Pride proclamation that the singer proclaimed in the Andalusian capital.

Already in 2002, the singer launched those famous sevillanas in which she said: "And although everyone knows what my love is called, my love has no name because that's how I want it".

A few words that are now understood better than ever.

María ended her proclamation saying "I am one more person of those who are here and of all those who are part of the world".

He added that his intention was

to support the freedom to love

, and claim that everyone has the same rights to love, to be free, to respect and to be respected, that life should be based on respect, and that for this reason, given that his partner was present, that he was given the freedom to go on stage or not.

And Inmaculada went up to dance with María

to the sounds of 'I will survive' by Gloria Gaynor.

Journalist at Canal Sur

The journalist was born in Barcelona in 1964, but very soon her family returned to Seville.

At school, she met María

, and they formed a

group of inseparable friends

that she still maintains.

Time passed, the girls grew older and took different paths, although without losing friendship.

Later, María also began to work on television, and they met more regularly.

Inmaculada studied Information Sciences at the Complutense University, in Madrid, and soon began working on television.

She worked at the Radio and Television of Andalusia, until in 1990 she joined the staff of Canal Sur, where she continues to practice journalism in multiple fields.

She was one of the first journalists who entered the Andalusian chain, and later she would reach María del Monte herself.

He has presented news, has covered information on the Courts, the Royal House and Politics, has produced and directed programs, and even specials on the Fair without having any problem going out on the street with a microphone in hand to make reports and live broadcasts.

Inmaculada Casal is a thoroughbred journalist, all terrain, who has also been at the forefront of successful programs such as 'Contraportada', a space dedicated to society and always a kind heart, the style that characterizes her.

Or the 'Deluxe' space, in which biographical documentaries were offered.

And she is the head of Society on Andalusian television.

Inmaculada is an educated, cheerful and affectionate woman, a lover of her family and friends and a great journalist;

she likes to be informed of everything that happens in any field.

She likes the Fair, Holy Week, El Rocío and traveling, as she herself shows on her social networks, often accompanied by her children.

She was married, but the marriage ended.

A family that "I have protected, but not hidden"

And finally, she ended up forming her new family together with María del Monte,

a family

that, in the words of the singer, "

I am protected, but not hidden

. I have a partner, who is part of my life, not my profession, and I also have I have to respect her. I have my love and I carry it in my heart".

They have never hidden. In fact,

they are often seen together at different social events

, such as, for example, at the

Dior parade in Seville

on June 16, which they attended together with the Sevillian doctor Rocío Vázquez.

Meanwhile, Inmaculada continues with her work on Canal Sur as usual, and María prepares for the concerts that she already has closed and those that are yet to be defined, based on her latest album, 'Todo come back', in which, after 14 years, he sings sevillanas again.

At the same time, María tries to move on despite the hard blows that life has dealt her very recently.

After the loss of her brothers Antonio and Juan Carlos due to covid 19, a few months after her, her mother, Bibiana Algaba, died at 96 years of age.

In all these hard times, her main support has been Inmaculada, who is still at the foot of the canyon with María, for the good and also for the bad.

Now, after going up on stage together on Pride, everyone already knows who Maria's love is.

From their circle they comment that what

seems sad to them is that this type of thing is still news

, instead of being something that is treated naturally, and they affirm that they do not understand why they have to talk about cabinets when they have never entered or left .

Because their way of life is to not label anyone, live politely and respect and be respected.

Close sources say that "they are a couple and everyone knows it. But why do you have to explain yourself in a television program or a newspaper?"
