The life of Juan Ortega six months later
Juan Ortega has turned his life around. And it must be recognized that jumping into the media caused the bullfighter to make a name for himself in the world of bullfighting. Far from the few gigs he had half a year ago, the right-hander can now boast of having an unstoppable path with his bullfighting tour. Of course he should not have imagined that not getting married would cause his name to be on the main billboards around the world. In fact, in our country he has numerous professional commitments such as the one he starred in last May 23 at the San Isidro Fair, in the Plaza de Las Ventas in Madrid.
Of course, that afternoon of bullfighting resulted in two disappointments for Juan. The first of them was a big scare after suffering a strong somersault. And although he was applauded before going to the infirmary, the Sevillian had to put up with some bad taste jokes when he entered the square. According to ‘El Español’ through one of the fans who witnessed the moment, Ortega “was received by some attendees with the cry of ‘¡long live the couple!”‘ while others responded to the cheers through crossed insults. Without a doubt something that influenced their work.
Besides, Juan will be the substitute José María Manzanares in the bullfight on Sunday, June 2, in the Aranjuez bullring after it was announced that the bullfighter is on medical leave as a result of a severe viral pneumonia that has worsened in recent hours. A scare that has given the Sevillian the opportunity to fight in another of the most important squares in our country. But it is not his only date in our country, the bullfighter’s followers have also been able to see him on May 31 in Cáceres and a little less than a week ago in Córdoba, where he was able to make one of his fans happy.
“Seville and Andujar have never been so close. After seeing Lucía’s emotion upon receiving the signed cape, I had to meet her. On Sunday she and her entire family will accompany me to the bullfights in Córdoba,” he said on his social networks along with a video in which you can see how he gives the bullfighting object to the little girl. As for his international success, the right-hander also does not you can complain. It’s just a month ago that he was able to fight in Mexico.. “We have enjoyed a few previous days immersed in bullfighting Mexico. This country is special and here everything happens with a passion and a different rhythm. Today we are going to discover Aguascalientes for the first time,” he said. Without a doubt, a great triumph in his profession that he could not have even imagined six months ago.
From the aforementioned media they have also explained that despite having said that he wanted to buy a house to make his life independent, Ortega He continues to live with his parents and has not acquired any home so far. When all the news broke about the sit-in at the altar, the bullfighter decided to go to a friend’s house until the dust calmed down, but it seems that at this moment his life still revolves around his parents.
As for the one who was the love of his life, Carmen Otte, she continues to stay away from any media and remains at the medical center where she has always worked, trying to turn the page as soon as possible. “Contrary to what people may imagine, We have a lot of love and respect for each other and we both have a lot of peace. Things have not moved forward despite having fought. Whenever we have had a problem, the heart and feelings rule. That morning the heart ruled, if I had listened to the head I would have taken the easy route and continued forward,” the bullfighter told Carlos Herrera, making it clear that if they had had children he would never have forgiven them.
