A past marked by lies and betrayal
Iñaki Urdangarin’s love life has been a whirlwind of scandals and betrayals that have shaken the Spanish Royal House. From his first days with Infanta Cristina, his relationship was marked by deception and disloyalty that have been the delight of the media and the nightmare of the royal family.
A rocky start
The story of Iñaki and Cristina began with deceit and infidelity. When he met the Infanta, he was still in a relationship with Carmen Camí, a woman who was also part of his social circle and with whom he also started a relationship while he was engaged to another woman. According to El Mundo, he was also dating a Catalan woman called Susana López at the time. He did not break up with Camí until he had confirmed his engagement to Cristina, leaving Camí surprised to find out about his new relationship through the media. Camí ended up marrying Iñaki’s friend, Javier Pellón, who was responsible for bringing Carmen closer so that she could be close to Urdangarin when they began their relationship.
A life of infidelities
But this was just the beginning. According to El Mundo, Iñaki continued his pattern of extramarital affairs. One of them involved a married woman and mother of two children, a close friend of the couple and wife of one of his teammates at FC Barcelona. This secret relationship lasted several months and was revived years later, when Iñaki was already married and involved in scandals due to the Nóos case. According to LOC, between 2002 and 2003, the Duke of Palma had a romantic relationship with this woman, who was married to one of his best friends, was the mother of two children and a civil servant.
The revealing messages of the Nóos case
In 2012, when the Nóos case broke out, a corruption scandal that led to his conviction, compromising messages came to light that revealed his unfaithful nature. Although Cristina always defended him publicly, the messages discovered demonstrated her attempts to arrange meetings with other women, even using explicit and suggestive language. These messages revealed her true nature and revealed her multiple infidelities.
Flirting and nicknames
Iñaki also reportedly openly flirted with other mothers at the school his children attended. This behavior reflected his habitual promiscuity, as he seemed unable to resist the temptation that arose around him. He even earned the nickname ‘Hone Duke’. The situation became so scandalous that Infanta Cristina’s entourage repeatedly urged him to divorce her, but despite knowing of her multiple infidelities and the public humiliations he had inflicted on her, Cristina refused to separate from him. She was still in love and, according to sources, she would have been willing to forgive him everything if he returned to her side.
