The final week of December in Spain was marked not only by the usual holiday rush, but also by the unexpected release of new editions of popular magazines. Publishers decided to please readers ahead of schedule, putting the most talked-about personalities of the past year on their front covers. Family dramas, high-profile breakups, and new relationships all became the focus of attention as 2026 approaches.
This time, the publications focused on personal stories of celebrities that left neither fans nor critics indifferent. Spanish society once again found itself drawn into discussions of the private lives of prominent families, as unexpected revelations and bold statements from the main figures only fueled interest in the latest editions.
Each cover tells its own story, filled with emotion, intrigue, and unexpected twists. In the spotlight are not only show business stars, but also members of the royal family and those who have long been absent from glossy pages.
Family revelations
One of the most talked-about topics was an exclusive photo shoot and interview with LucÃa DominguÃn Bosé. For the first time, she introduced her newborn grandson Bruno, who was born at the end of the year. Together with her daughter Yara and two children, LucÃa posed for the cover and, in the interview, revealed unexpected details about the baby’s future godfather. According to her, Nacho Palau will be the godfather—a choice that has already sparked strong emotions in the family and may lead to serious disagreements among relatives.
Family matters didn’t end there. Magazine pages are also buzzing about Infanta Cristina’s move to a new home in Barcelona. This step has fueled fresh speculation about changes in the royal’s life and her relationships with those close to her.
Breakups and new relationships
There were also high-profile breakups making headlines. This time, the spotlight is on Alejandro Sanz and Candela Márquez. Their relationship, which lasted just over a year, ended amid rumors of infidelity. Reports suggest a serious conflict erupted between the former lovers, now the talk of the whole country. Photos and details of their split have become one of the week’s biggest topics.
Another story sparking interest involves changes in Kiko Rivera’s personal life. Exclusive magazine photos show him embracing the new partner of his ex-wife, Irene Rosales. The gesture was seen as a sign that Kiko has fully accepted the new reality and is ready to move on. The birthday celebration for their daughter Carlota brought the family together, including Irene’s new partner.
Royal chronicles
Spain’s royal family is also in the spotlight. Queen Letizia appeared on the covers of two magazines at once. Both publications showcased her best looks of the year, highlighting her impeccable style and influence on fashion. In addition, there was increased interest in news about Kate Middleton, who became the central figure of the Christmas celebrations in the British royal family.
Infanta Cristina’s move to Barcelona has also sparked much discussion. Journalists note that this decision may mark the beginning of a new chapter in her life and could also impact relationships within the royal family.
Scandals and revelations
There were also headline-making statements. Model Mar Flores gave a candid interview responding to accusations from her ex-husband Carlo Costanzia. She emphasized that she is not afraid of people or circumstances and is ready to defend herself and her family. According to Mar, she is confident she is in the right and has no intention of backing down in the face of difficulties.
Another sensation was the news of the upcoming wedding of Sonia Moldes. The celebrity announced her engagement to the president of a major international company who prefers to remain out of the spotlight. For Sonia, this will be her fifth marriage, but she admits that now she truly feels happy and confident in her choice.
As the year comes to a close, magazines have not forgotten to look to the future. Recent issues feature predictions for 2026, along with highlights and the most striking moments from the past year.
