Cristina Porta from Spain exclusively reveals her plans

While traveling back to Spain at the end of May to reunite with his family and friends after finishing his adventure of The house of the famous 4to Cristina Porta A very specific memory came to mind. “I remembered the flight out when I was full of nerves to face The house of the famous 4 and I thought ‘what if I do poorly and they eliminate the first one and if I can’t connect with the public…’. “I was very afraid,” admits the Spanish journalist. Now, back in her native country 4 months later, her feelings were very different. “I came back super happy from my time there.” Home. She thought, have I dreamed it or have I lived it? Because it was even better than I expected.”

A friend was waiting for her at the airport. “My parents told me that they were coming to look for me but they are not from Madrid and I told them that it was not necessary because I also had to do some things here first,” she says. Her long-awaited reunion with them, and with the rest of her family – including her two nephews – took place a few days later in her place of origin, Lleida, Barcelona. “Everyone talking to me about Home of the famous ‘We have followed you, we have not slept, we have watched 24 hours with the time difference there was’. “It’s crazy,” she says. “They told me ‘how have you been able to endure so much and have been so patient?’ One of the comments that surprised her the most was the one her sister made to her. “She told me ‘I wanted Maripily to win because she seemed to me like you, at least she was authentic, she didn’t change, she was her. Yes, she had that character, as it also happened to you, but I didn’t see her as fake.’ And it surprises me because my sister is the complete opposite of me, much more serious,” he points out.

From Spain and with the perspective that the passing of the days gives, the assessment that Porta makes today of his participation in the successful reality show from Telemundo couldn’t be more positive. “I still can’t believe I’ve lived it. Now that I’m here I miss even being there, I kind of feel like the stage of my life that started there has to continue,” she says. “I have felt very valued by the public, by the people who have given me the opportunity to be in The house of the famous, even by many of my colleagues. My goal was for them to know me as I am and to stay there for a long time; I was there for 3 and a half months, then I was there for a week The hot table in Miami, so I’m happy and I don’t regret at all having left Spain for a while to enter this crazy adventure.

The 33-year-old journalist remembers as if it were yesterday the call she received in November of last year from a Telemundo casting manager. “I came to doubt the origin of the call,” she confesses. “They tell me ‘Does this sound familiar to you? The house of the famous? Would you be willing to enter? We like your profile, we have arrived at it by evaluating profiles of foreigners.’ I thought, is this true or not? “It was super,” she says honestly. The matter stayed there. In January she received the final call. “I didn’t trust this at all. I already had other projects, I had renewed with my program and 10 days before [de iniciar] They call me and tell me ‘you’re not going to believe it, you’re entering as a contestant on The house of the famous ‘” His surprise was huge. But he ended up saying yes. “I didn’t weigh it, I even preferred it because maybe if I had known about it months before I would have been evaluating it a lot with the pros and cons and it was like ok, “Life sends me this signal.”

Are you staying in Spain or returning?

When she planned her trip back to Spain to reunite with her family and enjoy a well-deserved vacation, Porta “was 100% determined” to continue developing her career outside her country. But “being here I have encountered meetings that I did not expect to have,” she admits. Today she has a divided heart. “Spain is my country and if there is an interesting proposal here I value it because I have my family here and I have always wanted to grow more here. But Telemundo really pulls me,” she is honest. “The house of the famous It has been complicated but at the same time it has given me super good results. And yes I think it’s time [de arriesgar]. Me, since I am a kamikaze – you have already seen me in Home-I will probably take the path of madness, of not security, but at the same time of happiness.

The former inhabitant of the most famous house on Hispanic television says she is open to everything. “I am a sports journalist, I would love to return to sports. But I have also been working in entertainment for many years. And it fascinates me. In The hot table I felt super comfortable [cuando estuve como presentadora invitada]. It is a program in which I could say that I would love to be, I would learn a lot from the great women there and I also contribute my part and a different point of view.” But if she does not give herself a chance on Telemundo, she does not rule out trying her luck in other television networks in Mexico. “My dream has always been to live in Mexico more than in Miami. And now I have some contacts there that I have to talk to.”

Realities, for the moment, no. “Several people have proposed me, but I already told you that you won’t see me in this summer’s. I said no because I don’t want to pigeonhole myself either,” she says. “I don’t even see myself in The islandnor in The 50s, now I need to work on mine. Later who knows.”

But could we see it next year in the edition All-Stars of The house of the famous? “I don’t know. It’s clear that he’s going to be a reality incredible and they must be the best, but since there is still a lot left, I don’t know where I’m going to be in life,” he responds.

For now, the journalist will take this summer “relaxing” to be able to make the best decision regarding her professional future. “It’s not easy to choose: I’m talking about changing countries, whether my life changes completely or not. And I have to evaluate the offers very carefully, what I want. It’s going to be really difficult for me to make that decision, but at the same time “I think I’m going to make a good decision.”

His former colleagues

Three weeks from finishing The house of the famousPorta continues to maintain contact with several former teammates of the realityamong them Paulo Quevedo, Serrath and Maripily. “People can talk and say ‘how fake you are because you were with Maripily at some point…’. I was there for three and a half months, obviously I had a period in which I was bad with Maripily, but if we weigh the good and the bad I was much longer good time,” he explains. “I think there are things I was wrong about with Maripily. I understood her a lot at the beginning and then with some information [que recibíamos del exterior] We both threw each other. But I do regret some things because it is true that I always felt Maripily close to me.”

Just because she gets along with Maripily doesn’t mean she’s at odds with him. Lupillo Rivera. Quite the opposite. “I grew fond of him,” she says. “I understand that many people say ‘either Lupillo or Maripily’. Currently I have more of a relationship with Maripily, but I am fond of them both because they treated me well. I don’t think I have to choose in that sense. I came to connect with them both in that sense.” home, I got to know the best and the worst of each of them and right now I am left with the best.

The journalist admits that she was surprised by Lupillo’s third place. “I thought I was going to come in at least second. I saw this image of Maripily and Lupillo in the final, but in the end Tierra has a lot of fans and if Romeh came in second it is because he deserved it. But it is true that I did not expect it because I am a reality show collaborator, so I like the protagonists to win. Obviously Maripily was a clear protagonist of this one. reality, but we can’t deny that Lupillo is too,” he says. “But third is also very good because I didn’t even have a place in the final. And I was also the protagonist. So he’s doing great.”

What he considers not right is the hate that the singer has received on networks. “He’s exaggerated, I don’t understand it,” he says. “I have lived with him and I think he doesn’t deserve it either. When I talk like that about Lupillo I get a shock.” hate that you can’t even imagine. It hasn’t done anything to me and I don’t believe what happened either, and I don’t want to get into that… I understand that each person can feel a certain way, certain things can affect them, – I’m never going to start evaluating how one feels what is happening to him – but the strong words that have been used against Lupillo have always seemed fatal to me and I am not going to support that,” makes clear Porta, who at the time was interested in knowing the version of Ariadna. “I asked Ariadna, I told her ‘look Ariadna, I will always support the victim’s version and you are a woman, I support you, but I need to know why, what he did to you, what happened for you to speak up.’ of that big word that I don’t want to name’. She did not say anything. She told me ‘no, there are things, situations that you have not experienced.’ And I told him ‘but tell me something so that I can understand you’ because I took a stand with Lupillo. And he didn’t say anything consistent to me. I don’t like to talk about this topic because I feel that it has been hard for her, for Lupillo it has also been hard to see it outside of her, above all, everything that she has received. “It’s not my place to talk about this topic, but I did ask her to understand why she was using that term and why she felt that way.”
