“When Nico left, it was terrible. I went into his room alone, because I didn’t want anyone to see me, I grabbed his pillow, I smelled his smell. When Maite left it was also difficult, because she was my partner,” she recalled regarding the departure of her children from home.
Nicolás Solabarrieta, before entering the reality show, was living in the United States, a country where he studied and played soccer and later settled in Dubai, to do an internship and put his business studies into practice.
