It is legitimate for one to wonder how to introduce someone one already knows. It doesn’t matter the path, the chain, the sector or the age: if something can be stated without fear of reply, it is that the entire country knows Pipi Estradathat man who was able to become a key face of the Mount Rushmore of the heart after having previously been one of the most voracious and effective sports journalists of the eighties in Spain, in addition to his talented skill in the harsh—war—field of reporting. Its public facet has drawn on the private one; and the private, from the public. Hence the magnet that implicitly carries his personal plane.
The dance began in Madrid. Although a native of Gijonit was the capital that marked his life: he moved there to make the wish of his father, who worked at the National Steel Company, come true and study industrial engineering. Pipi arrived and the social reality of the country wanted the Madrid Movida to break out: He combined his university studies with working as a DJ in several nightclubs of the renewed traditional nightlife. Then came journalism.
Behind the death of his fatherwhen he was only 22 years old, his voice sounded on the radio for the first time. Gaspar Rosetya journalist whom he knew from his days in the Asturian city, provided him a position at Antena 3 Radio in Garcia’s time. The rest is history: he remained at the station for eleven years, more than a decade in which his journalism was raw and in which he established himself as an elite reporter.
The wave of the heart
Before this stage started rolling, Pipi had found love. It was with Teresa Viera, his first wife, whose nuptials took place in 1978 and with whom he had two children: Francisco and Borja. That story ended a quarter of a century later. It was the year 2003 and his affair with Terelu Camposwith whom he began a relationship after divorcing Viera that lasted until 2006. Then the figure of Pipi, who needed no introduction, became an indispensable part of the tabloid press.
The same year in which they decided to leave that courtship, they participated in Survivors. Then would come a cascade of formatsas at your side either Save me, which made him consolidate himself in the world of the heart; His professional streak was as frenetic as his sentimental recovery was rapid: in 2006, after breaking up with María Teresa Campos’ daughter, he began dating the pornographic actress Miriam Sanchez. Fruit of the relationship that the later ‘love advisor’ of Women and men and vice versa She had a relationship with someone who would also serve as a ‘love advisor’. In the same format, a baby was born who was named after his mother. Miriam Estrada Sánchez is Pipi’s third and last daughter.
There were so many incursions that his role as a reporter could come to be questioned by critical voices who make zapping their religion. The truth is that there was no way to sink him: During his years as a protagonist of the tabloid press, he combined his work as a public figure with the journalistic performance that he continued to show on various stations and, later, on various sports-themed television spaces. And so until today: only someone like him collaborates at the same time in Party and The Jugones Chiringuito.
Its most hidden interior
He has never denied the controversial nature of his personality. In a recent interview with The world, Pipi acknowledged having known the night better than the streetlights, but, of course, without this involving the ingestion of alcohol and drugs. That he only had and has one vice and that, before it, he assumes the philosophy of Julio Iglesias: “Let’s say that I have been a true professional who has opted for life and I have gone in favor of nature, because that is what sex is.”
As for spirits, again, Gijón has the answer: “The person who has been my reference in life, who did not leave me property or anything material but gave me my values, is my father and alcohol stole it from me.” . My father was an alcoholic and died an alcoholic with tremendous liver cancer at the age of 57. I was 21 years old and since that day alcohol has been my enemy. Every time I see alcohol, I see my father’s murderer.”
The Pipi of the seventies, married to the Madrid night, the one of the eighties and nineties, sewn to a microphone and the one of the ‘two thousand’, accused of taking over the covers of the tabloid press They coexist in the same person who, in reality, has never stopped being everything at the same time.. But all this was already known. Of course, it is legitimate for one to wonder how to introduce someone one already knows.
