Cayetano Rivera and María Cerqueira Split After Two Years Together

In March 2023, the romance between Cayetano Rivera and Portuguese María Cerqueira came to light. Since then, they have been seen together on numerous occasions, enjoying romantic getaways or family plans with their respective children. However, the magazine ¡Hola! has confirmed that the couple has decided to part ways after two years of dating. The distance—she lives and works in Portugal, while he does so in Spain—has reportedly been the main reason for their mutual decision to separate.

The first suspicions arose during Easter, when María chose the beaches of Brazil as her destination, while Cayetano stayed at his estate in Ronda with his young son. The torero's presence at the final of the Mutua Madrid Open with his daughter Lucía also drew attention, but at that time, all eyes were on the good rapport between father and daughter after a period of estrangement. Now, the images take on a new meaning, and the seriousness of the bullfighter is attributed to his recent breakup. Fortunately, he has found the best support in his eldest daughter.

The last time Cayetano and María were seen together was in mid-January in Seville, celebrating the 48th birthday of Carmina Ordóñez's son. At that moment, nothing foreshadowed that the end of their love story was near.

Indeed, 2025 is a year of changes for Cayetano Rivera, as in addition to ending his relationship with the Portuguese presenter, he is also bidding farewell to the bullfighting arena this season.
