  • Relationships Alejandra Rubio and Carlo Costanzia, new surprise couple: passionate kisses in the middle of the street

  • Celebrities The harsh testimony of Carlo Costanzia's ex after her photos with Alejandra Rubio: "I have been hospitalized because of him"

The wedding of Carlota Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam made the pop culture gods happy. Not because the couple got married (people get married every day), but because

their marriage turned Carole Bouquet and Carolina de Monaco into in-laws.

Our Carole and Carolina are Terelu Campos and Mar Flores. Alejandra Rubio, daughter of the first, and Carlo Costanzia, first-born of the second, are involved. Thus, two lineages of the Spanish pop nobility intersect, even if only temporarily and superficially. Or the trash nobility.

Alejandra is the final link in a matriarchy established by the great

María Teresa Campos

;

Carlo, the son that Mar Flores already had when she became the most persecuted woman in Spain. Then neither the expanded universe of Mar nor Las Campos existed as a concept.

Today we cannot help but see the Rubio-Costanzia connection as a fun trick of fate that, in some way, disturbs the dead. Fernando Fernández Tapias was at the time a vertex of the triangle that Alessandro Lecquio and Mar Flores completed. Some sexy photos of Lecquio and Flores publicly humiliated Fernández Tapias

and he replaced the model with his friend Nuria González,

who was also a friend of Terelu Campos, Teresa's daughter. For anyone who has even remotely followed the heartland information of the last three decades, none of this will sound new. On the other hand, those who know Terelu as "Alejandra Rubio's mother" (because those people exist) may discover that everything has already been invented and understand that those of us with gray hair see Terelu's daughter and Mar's son as a

Stupid déjà vu

of something that was glamorous at the time.

Alejandra and Carlo are young, modern, instagrammers and twerking, but glamorous, what is called glamorous... Most likely, their relationship (like almost all relationships around the world) will not go anywhere, but in this of the coated paper, every romp is a courtship and every flirtation a relationship.

And all with that "we are getting to know each other" that goes for everything.

An expression that no one uses in the real world.

Mar Flores and Terelu Campos are two very interesting women. Or at least their stories are. Anyone who has had Mar in front of them can confirm that she is a creature of almost aggressive beauty. She imposes. When the other day, at a Netflix event,

I was enthusiastically received by Terelu

(which is part of one of the platform's Spanish formats), I was about to plant two kisses on it. Terelu does not impose. She is one of the family. From any Spanish family. Mar and Terelu are, in their own way, Fortunata and Jacinta, although I wouldn't dare say which is which.

Now, with the engines of their public lives underground, they become the most unlikely in-laws of contemporary and pop (and trash) Spain. Without Fernando and without Teresa, they are the matriarchs. Their children are also very similar and very different. Carlo, at least technically, knows what it's like for your mother to not be famous. Not Alejandra. The first time I was introduced to Terelu, she was pregnant with Alejandra. She was then a television star (almost) out of the shadow of her powerful mother. Her daughter doesn't know what it's like for your mother and grandmother (and then your aunt, the unclassifiable Carmen Borrego) to not be extremely famous.

It is evident that his perception of the world has nothing to do with that of any of us

. Carlo, son of the social climber par excellence, will not see this serial with sufficient perspective either. Like when Lolita Flores talks about "mom" without explaining who "mom" is. Because it's not necessary.

For Alejandra Rubio and Carlo Costanzia, "mom" are more famous ladies in Spain than many Hollywood stars. For Terelu, the girl has hooked up with Mar's son and what would mom (Teresa) think and what would Nuria (González) think.

A story of Monteros and Capulets, but changing Verona for Telecinco.

The Lannisters and the Starks with TikTok accounts and a bracelet to access the VIP area of ​​the beach club. A soap opera that has lasted 30 years and in which everything has happened.

In her first season, Terelu was a TV starlet in her mother's shadow. Mar, a femme fatale who did not control her fatality well, Fernando Fernández Tapias, a very powerful businessman and María Teresa Campos, simply and plainly, La Campos.

Today only Mar and Terelu remain from that series, relegated to secondary actresses

in their children's plot. But the one he had retained and at any moment they, two of the stars from before (pun intended) regain the spotlight. In this whole story of names and relationships, they were always the most interesting characters. Two Fortunes. Or two Jacintas. A Carolina and a Carole, but exchanging Paris and Monaco for Madrid.
