Bertín Osborne introduces 28-year-old partner Sofía at Torrox tribute

Public appearance in Torrox

Spanish singer and television presenter Bertín Osborne, 71, attended a public tribute in the Andalusian town of Torrox accompanied by his partner Sofía, 28. The event honoured Cádiz businessman José Luis López, known as "El Turronero", during local celebrations for Tourist Day. Sofía occupied a seat in the front rows directly alongside López's family from Ubrique. During the ceremony, Osborne appeared in high spirits and joined bullfighter Juan José Padilla on stage to accompany the honouree. The gathering served as a public milestone for the couple, with Sofía formally joining Osborne's close circle of personal friends.

Origins of the relationship

Reports regarding the couple first surfaced at the end of 2025, when journalist Luis Rollán detailed their connection on the television programme Fiesta. Rollán explained that people in El Rocío had observed the pair spending time together in private homes and at public festivities, including a winter party organised by López.

“He is very devoted to her and they walk around El Rocío, they have been to friends' houses and at El Turronero's winter party. Her name is Sofía and she is Bertín Osborne's new love.”

When reports first appeared, Osborne insisted that Sofía was merely a friend and commented that he was seeing several women without any single relationship being exclusive. However, Spanish publications note that she is the only companion seen with him across the past nine months. Sofía, who has Dutch and Brazilian ancestry, works in the commercial sector in Marbella and has maintained privacy outside the entertainment industry.

Previous statements on relationships

The public appearance follows controversial remarks made by Osborne in August 2026, when he spoke candidly about his romantic history during a media appearance.

“I have been trying for 50 years and I have not found it yet. I do not know the exact answer.”

Those comments prompted an upset reaction from his former wife, Fabiola Martínez, though the former spouses later resolved their disagreement in private conversations. Around the same period, Osborne discussed undergoing a vasectomy before introducing Sofía to his closest companions. The 43-year age difference between the 71-year-old singer and the 28-year-old commercial specialist has since become a focus of Spanish celebrity reporting.

Reactions from the inner circle

At the Torrox gathering, López openly celebrated the presence of both Osborne and Sofía alongside his own family and longtime acquaintances. Speaking following the award ceremony, the entrepreneur described his contentment with the event and joked about the future of the relationship.

“How happy I am for this recognition and that, in addition to my family, my other family of friends was there, Padilla and Lidia and, of course, Bertín and Sofía. Any day now we will marry Bertín and Sofía, haha.”

The entrepreneur's family has welcomed Sofía into their circle, while Osborne continues to bring her along on various trips across Spain where his presence is required.
