Gabriela Guillén She is willing for her son to bear the surname Osborne. Although, initially, he enrolled him with his team, Bertín’s statement has completely changed his plans. That roadmap that WEEK has drawn alongside Fernando Osuna, prestigious lawyer who has led many cases of illegitimate children in our country. From Javier Santos to Manuel Díaz El Cordobés.
It is he who on the other end of the phone explains to us in great detail the steps that the Paraguayan must now follow. A much easier process than some may imagine, especially taking into account that both jointly signed the release in question. In it, the artist recognized Gabriela Guillén’s son and intoned the ‘mea culpa’, six months after the child’s birth when he took this step forward.
The first and quick step that Bertín Osborne and Gabriela Guillén must take from now on
But what should Gabriela do to change her son’s last name? Is it tedious and complicated? The truth is that no. This is how Osuna explains it to us, who assures that this “could be a matter of days or weeks.” “It is important that Bertín Osborne has recognized the child publicly. It is very good proof. What I recommend, as it is the fastest and best in this case, is to both go to the Civil registration“, he begins by saying.
Although it is not the only step they must carry out. In addition to appearing with her ex-partner at the Registry, Gabriela must go to the judge. The intention? Paralyze the lawsuit after reaching an agreement. “If there is a lawsuit involved, Bertín and Gabriela’s lawyers They must inform that they have reached an agreement and, for this, a document is presented. In it, he communicates his intention to go to the Civil Registry to change his surname. In that case, it would make no sense for this process to continue,” says Fernando Osuna.
And, although there may be more than one obstacle in the process, this lawyer with decades of experience rules it out. “The Prosecutor, when there are minors and it is an issue of affiliation, usually intervenes, but I don’t think they will object if the parents agree. The judicial procedure would be shelved“, he predicts. A case that will surely be filed and in which DNA tests are not even necessary: ”Especially after making public statements saying that he is his son.”
Fernando Osuna is a lawyer specializing in unrecognized children, which makes his words tremendously valuable. He has been part of more than 900 paternity lawsuits, so from SEMANA we wanted to know your opinion about Bertín’s statement. A way to settle their biggest controversy of the last year.
For Fernando Osuna, Bertín Osborne’s statement has been a success
When asking the lawyer if he believes that the singer was right to publicly recognize his son, Osuna is clear. “It is the best because this is an unnecessary controversy, especially if he was almost convinced,” he points out.
Fernando Osuna even puts another possibility on the table: did Bertín’s damaged image have anything to do with his decision? “There is no turning back here. Related questions also arise as to whether this has been due to image, if it is losing points…it may be that this decision was made for image reasons, but this is only a hypothesis,” he says.
It was on June 12 when Bertín issued a bombshell statement. A completely unexpected one. In it, he admitted paternity of the son with Gabriela Guillén and asked for forgiveness. Bertín Osborne wanted to make public today the commitment to provide the best future for the baby that Gabriela Guillén gave birth to 5 months agothus normalizing the relationship with the businesswoman who was once the singer’s partner and showing maximum responsibility with this minor (…) It is a responsibility that I assume.”
What has not yet arrived is the first rapprochement between father and son. “Everything in its time. You don’t know the child yet but you need your time,” explained Kiko Calleja after speaking with her. A contact that could take place in the coming months and on which thousands of eyes are focused.
The other controversy of Bertín Osborne
With a real roller coaster on an emotional level, there is another plane that worries Bertín: work. Even though he had a concert on the outskirts of Madrid on June 14, he had to cancel it “due to technical problems.” “This is the first time this has happened to me. This is a mess,” he snapped.
