Overview
- Celebrity magazine Pronto published photos on Wednesday showing Iker Casillas and Irene Esser together in affectionate scenes in Madrid, including a dinner with friends.
- Multiple outlets report the relationship reportedly began months ago while both kept a low public profile, with the new photos prompting wider coverage.
- People close to Casillas told reporters he is "muy ilusionado" and that Esser has entered some of his usual social circles.
- Iván Sánchez, Esser’s former partner, spoke to reporters and declined to discuss details while offering respectful wishes to the pair.
- Esser is a former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe finalist who has built an acting career in Latin America and Spain and has publicly expressed a fondness for Mallorca, but further confirmation from either principal would materially update the story.
