His identity soon emerged. The young man to whom he publicly showed his love is

He is no stranger to cinema or the achievement of his boyfriend, since this costume designer and audiovisual technician worked as

costume coordinator in the award-winning film.

Graduated in Fashion Design from the Higher School of Art of Valencia, he was in charge of dressing the actors. On his Instagram account, you can

see Navas during the filming of the film

, which took place in Sierra Nevada (Granada), Madrid, the Andes and Uruguay. In all these places they recorded, at times, in conditions of

immense cold.

Alejandro Navas knows

very well what sacrifice is

. Before settling in the world of cinema, he unloaded clothing trucks and

worked in the warehouses

of various audiovisual productions. Later, he rose to be in charge of the costumes for films such as

García y García,

the series

The Crown

Egyptology at the University of Valencia.

Although on his social networks, full of trips with friends and filming films, he has never been seen with Bayona, the Goya gala was the perfect occasion to

make their relationship known publicly.
