A prominent figure in the world of sports, Luis Rubiales wife, Manuela Delicado Vega, has been his partner in raising three daughters: LucÃa, Ana, and Elena.
Despite their divorce several years ago, the couple has successfully maintained a positive and amicable relationship.
After Spain’s triumphant victory in the Women’s World Cup in August 2023, a controversial moment ensued when Rubiales kissed Spain’s midfielder Jennifer Hermoso on the lips during the medal presentation.
Subsequently, Hermoso indicated in her Instagram livestream that she was uncomfortable with the kiss.
Inside the locker room, it was reported that Rubiales playfully put his arm around Hermoso and jokingly remarked, “Well, it looks like we’re celebrating Jenni and Luis Rubiales’ wedding in Ibiza.”
Prior to this incident, Rubiales had garnered attention when he was seen making an inappropriate gesture by grabbing his crotch while standing in the authorities’ box near Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter, Infanta SofÃa.
Luis Rubiales Wife Manuela Delicado Vega & Kids
Luis Rubiales was once married to Manuela Delicado Vega, his beloved wife and a lawyer by profession.
Together, they were blessed with three daughters: LucÃa, Ana, and Elena.
Rubiales said in an interview, “My daughters are very strong, more than me. I consider myself a strong guy, but what happens with my daughters is not normal.”
Unfortunately, their marriage came to an end upon discovering Luis’s involvement with Jenny.
Despite their best efforts, the Rubiales’ attempts to salvage their relationship proved futile.
“I think we have always done the best for the girls. I don’t think it was a failure, we were happy but when you move on to another stage, well, you move on,” said Luis Rubiales.
Over the years, Rubiales has been noted for engaging in flirtatious interactions with various women.
Entanglements
One notable figure linked to Rubiales is Roberta Lobeira, a renowned Mexican painter famous for her work on the Netflix series “La Casa de las Flores.”
In the autumn of 2018, the artist accepted a luxurious trip to New York with Rubiales, capturing a selfie together that she later shared.
It is suggested that Rubiales may have been on official business with the UN and Major League Soccer, but in reality, it was a romantic getaway funded through an account associated with the Spanish Footballers Association.
To this day, the Federation denies any such occurrence and any ongoing relationship between Lobeira and Rubiales.
During this same period, the former president was reported to have maintained a relationship with the model Brigit Tenorio.
It is purported that their romantic involvement played a role in her securing a high-ranking position as a secretary in 2018.
Previously, she had been placed in the AFE union and later found employment at the advertising agency DDP SL, an official supplier of the RFEF, where she remained until 2020.
Kiss Controversy
Luis Rubiales made the decision to step down from his role as President of the Spanish Soccer Federation on Sunday.
This move comes after several weeks of intense criticism following his unwelcome kiss with Women’s World Cup champion Jennifer Hermoso.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) officially announced that Rubiales had submitted his resignation not only as the head of the Spanish Football Association but also as the Vice President of UEFA.
Subsequently, the federation’s board of directors will initiate the process of conducting an election to select Rubiales’ successor.
In his departure, Rubiales expressed his determination to vindicate himself against what he characterized as “excessive persecution.”
