Single Bourbons: Victoria Frederica and Irene Urdangarin break up with their partners

They are cousins, friends, and since this summer they have both been single. According to the magazine Hello!, the daughters of Elena and Cristina de Borbón, Victoria Frederica and Irene Urdangarin, have experienced a summer of heartbreak that has ended with both of them breaking up with their respective partners. In recent weeks, both have opted to make plans with family and friends and there is no longer any trace of those who until now were their boyfriends, Borja Moreno, in the case of Victoria Frederica, and Juan Urquijo, in the case of Irene.

The magazine points out that the breakup between Victoria Frederica and Borja Moreno was expected because they had been dragging on a crisis for some time, although they had not even started dating for a year. The couple met last summer in Sotogrande (Cádiz), one of the favorite summer spots of the jet set Spanish. In fact, it's where Victoria Frederica traditionally spent the summer with her father, Jaime de Marichalar. Moreno, a descendant of a dynasty of Basque businessmen, worked at the Trocadero restaurant group when he began his relationship with the granddaughter of the emeritus king.

According to Hello!, the couple has grown apart due to their opposing personalities: while Victoria Frederica is immersed in her role asinfluencer and likes to be the center of media attention, Moreno would be reluctant to be exposed publicly. This fundamental difference has meant they have lived their holidays separately and the daughter of Elena de Borbón and Jaime de Marichalar has made the most of the summer. The 24-year-old, who does not have any specific job beyond representing fashion brands through social media, has been in the Balearic Islands, Tarifa, and Marbella in recent weeks. She was also one of the guests at the Starlite charity gala.

While Victoria Frederica exposes her life through social media, her cousin Irene opts for a more discreet profile. The 20-year-old daughter of Cristina de Borbón and Iñaki Urdangarin has broken up with Juan Urquijo, brother-in-law of the current mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. with whom I had been dating for almost two yearsThe reasons for the breakup are believed to be the age difference, as Urquijo is seven years older than Urdangarin, as well as the physical distance resulting from Irene's move to Oxford to study hospitality and tourism. The couple had known each other since they were children, but the relationship didn't materialize until the summer of 2023, when Victoria Frederica organized a party where they both met.
