Teresa Rivera says Paquirri planned separation from Isabel Pantoja

Teresa Rivera, sister of the late bullfighter Paquirri, claimed on the program '¡De Viernes!' that her brother intended to separate from Isabel Pantoja before his death. According to Rivera, Paquirri was "fed up with her family" and had even expelled Isabel's brother Agustín from the Cantora estate Source: abc.es, infobae. The revelation comes amid renewed scrutiny of Cantora, the abandoned property once shared by the couple.

The separation claim

Rivera stated that Paquirri confided in her his desire to divorce, and that a doctor confirmed the torero had begun separation proceedings, though he did not have time to sign before dying Source: infobae. This contradicts the public image of a happy marriage.

Tensions at Cantora

Rivera recalled her last visit to Cantora days before her brother's death, where her children were denied access to the pool on Isabel Pantoja's orders. She also noted that Isabel considered the children of Carmen Ordóñez (Fran and Cayetano) bothersome. According to Rivera, Paquirri had a strained relationship with Isabel's family, particularly Agustín, whom he once made vacate a seat reserved for Rivera Source: infobae.
