Fran Rivera Breaks His Silence During Lourdes Montes's Pregnancy: 'The Truth...'

The pregnancy of Lourdes Montes keeps Fran Rivera in an exciting moment. However, the former bullfighter has broken his silence on a controversial issue: the cancellation of the Goyesca bullfight for the second consecutive year. "The truth is that it's a tremendous shame for the Goyescos, but this year we won't be able to enjoy the Goyesca either," he announced.

The absence of this emblematic bullfighting event not only represents a blow for the fans but also reignites the rift between Fran and his brother Cayetano Rivera. The relationship between the two has had its ups and downs, and disagreements over the organization of the Goyesca have been a constant point of friction. Will the brothers be able to set aside their differences?

Fran Rivera Breaks His Silence During Lourdes Montes's Pregnancy

While managing family and professional tension, Fran Rivera finds himself in a stage of happiness with Lourdes Montes. The couple is expecting their third child, a reason for joy that contrasts with the difficulties in the bullfighting field.

However, given the caused expectation, he wanted to offer a detailed explanation about the cancellation of the Goyesca. "Due to the magnitude of the work that needs to be done in the Plaza de Toros to restore and adapt it so that we can have many years of Goyesca, this year it's going to be impossible. The duration of the work is estimated to be about a year, and it will start, God willing, more likely in May," explained the former bullfighter.

Fran also wanted to acknowledge the effort of the Real Maestranza in this process. "I want to thank the Maestranza for their tremendous effort, their tenacity, and their dedication to solving these problems, because of course, the plaza is very old," he explained.

The reality is that it's a decision justified by structural issues. However, it should be noted that the family context makes it a new point of friction between Fran and Cayetano.

The Disagreements of Fran and Cayetano Rivera

Over the years, Fran and Cayetano Rivera have been involved in episodes of unity but also tension. Although they share Paquirri's legacy, their professional and personal paths have led to constant disagreements. One of the major points of friction has been, precisely, the organization of the Goyesca in Ronda.

This event, held in the iconic bullring of Ronda, is of great importance within the bullfighting world. However, the decisions made by Fran in his role as a businessman have caused controversy. Cayetano's exclusion in past editions has been a reason for speculation and comments about the deterioration of their relationship.

The fact that Fran Rivera is responsible for managing the bullfight has caused friction with his brother. On more than one occasion, Cayetano has been left out of the line-up, which has fueled rumors about the lack of harmony between them. Although they have shared the ring in some years, Cayetano's absences in key events have been interpreted as a sign of distancing.

Now, the cancellation of the Goyesca for the second consecutive year deepens that tension. Fran has explained that the works in the bullring prevent the event from taking place, but it also avoids a new confrontation with his brother. The absence of this symbolic meeting could prolong the coldness between them.

Fran Rivera lives a moment of contrasts: the happiness for Lourdes Montes's pregnancy and the responsibility of managing a decision that affects thousands of fans. The cancellation of the Goyesca, although justified, reopens family wounds that seem not to heal. As the works progress in Ronda, will the Rivera brothers finally find common ground?
