The ex-Barça player Héctor Bellerín and the actress Carolina Yuste, first surprise couple of the summer

BarcelonaEvery summer there are surprise celebrity couples and this year the one that has opened the floodgates is the one formed by the footballer Héctor Bellerín, currently playing for Betis, and the actress Carolina Yuste, winner of the Gaudí award for her role in the film Saben aquell. According to an exclusive from the magazine Semana, the footballer and the actress are experiencing an intense love story, as evidenced by images of them walking in a park and sharing an "passionate kiss". The publication highlights that the romantic day began with a climbing session at a climbing wall and continued with an outdoor picnic.

Although the romantic link between the two was unknown until now, a few months ago Bellerín and Yuste met at a public event that was particularly important for her. The actress has debuted as a writer with the novel Toda mi violencia es tuya and the footballer attended its presentation in Seville in May. In fact, he was the one in charge of discussing the book with Yuste at the event, which was organized by the Andalusian Center for Letters. Weeks after that presentation, Bellerín included the actress's novel in a photo carousel he posted on Instagram.

Yuste, born in Badajoz and who learned Catalan to film Saben aquell, and Bellerín, from Barcelona, share political and social concerns, which they often discuss publicly. Each in their own way, they have positioned themselves for gender equality and feminism. The actress, a two-time Goya award winner, has also advocated for the right to decent housing and denounced real estate speculation, while the athlete has criticized homophobia in football.
