Overview
- A biography by Vicente Zabala, reported by El Periódico, states that José Antonio Morante de la Puebla has divorced Elisabeth Garrido after 16 years of marriage and two daughters.
- Zabala’s account says the separation is a second marital break that has weighed on Morante’s mood and personal life.
- The book recounts that Morante cut his coleta in October 2025 and traveled to Portugal to see a psychiatrist, details that Zabala says followed private family steps taken at La Puebla del Río.
- These claims come from the author’s reporting and interviews, including with Morante’s mother, and have not been presented as direct statements from Morante or Elisabeth Garrido.
- The revelations arrive after a serious goring at La Maestranza and a rapid return to the ring, and they may shift coverage from his professional comeback to his mental health and family privacy, with potential effects on how promoters, fans and media treat his public image.
