Two decades ago, a television show called 'Hotel Glam' featured a face that captivated the audience. It was Pocholo Martínez-Bordiú, and his name became a household word as a legion of comedians tried to imitate his quirks and catchphrases, though they always paled in comparison to the original.
Now, after some time, his life is much more discreet. Recently, the magazine 'Diez Minutos' discovered him in Baqueira Beret, enjoying his new girlfriend at the age of 62 amidst snow, skiing, and romantic walks.
Those were the days of 'Hotel Glam,' a surreal reality show that nonetheless captured the attention of viewers. A significant part of that audience was drawn to the extravagant and overwhelming personality of Pocholo, an aristocrat and ex-husband of Sonsoles Suárez, daughter of former Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez.
At the time, he was already a regular in gossip magazines, hence the call to participate in the reality show for celebrities and pseudo-celebrities. However, what nobody knew was how he navigated his daily life, which was unbelievable. He projected a peculiar image of a bad boy from Spanish high society, unafraid of anything. Neither before nor after.
After many years more or less removed from public exposure, in the last months of 2024, Pocholo Martínez-Bordiú returned to the spotlight thanks to his participation in MasterChef Celebrity. And now the magazine 'Diez Minutos' has published striking images of the XVIII Baron of Gotor with his new girlfriend, with whom he has been dating for over a year.
The photographs were taken in the exclusive resort of Baqueira Beret, where the inimitable 'Pocho,' as he is called by those who love him, makes a living in winter by teaching skiing. What do we see in the photos? A smiling couple, walking hand in hand through the snow, looking at each other, kissing, admiring their inner worlds... In short, two lovers.
For the moment, the identity of the woman with whom Pocholo Martínez-Bordiú shares his life is unknown, and some are already wondering if he has finally settled down, abandoned certain habits, and is facing a fulfilling life of maturity.
However, during his time on MasterChef, he had already left everyone speechless by showing great interest in having children. He even asked a perplexed Laura Londoño if she thought it was a good idea. The actress became interested in his sentimental situation, the aristocrat confirmed that he was in love, adding that he had a stable relationship, and Laura encouraged him to take the plunge to celebrate a new triumph of love.
"Sonsoles Suárez has been and will be the woman of my life. I would have liked to have children with her," Pocholo confessed to Bertín Osborne during a visit to his home. But, judging by the photos in 'Diez Minutos,' he may have found new heartbeats.
"He and his girlfriend sported casual, warm looks, with a pom-pom wool hat, each in their own style," describes 'Diez Minutos.' And it is that pom-pom hats and snow tend to generate adventurous impulses.
