Juan Urquijo has taken the final step by respecting Irene Urdangarin's privacy

This Thursday, Irene Urdangarin blew out the candles on her 20th birthday. Far from her family and the spotlight of Zarzuela, she celebrated the date in Oxford, the city where she is studying a degree in Hospitality. However, despite the distance, she hasn't been completely alone, since from Madrid, Juan Urquijo's presence has become prominent with a subtle but revealing gesture.

Juan Urquijo went this Thursday to the Las Ventas bullring to enjoy an afternoon of bullfighting. There, he was approached by the press, who were interested in knowing how he was going to celebrate his girlfriend Irene Urdangarin's birthday. However, the young man preferred not to say anything, not a single word.

Juan chose not to feed media interest, but he didn't run away either. He faced the situation naturally, like someone who has nothing to hide. This gesture contrasts with the absolute discretion that both have kept since their romance became public.

Those close to them say that Juan is "reserved, elegant, and very focused," and that he has never sought the spotlight. However, the fact that he appeared in public on such a symbolic day has been interpreted as a sign of commitment to Irene. Because sometimes, the most important decisions are made in silence.

Although they live in different cities, Irene and Juan have shown that distance isn't an insurmountable obstacle. Every time their commitments allow, Irene travels to Madrid to reunite with her partner. She takes advantage of those visits not only to be with him, but also to enjoy plans with her cousin Victoria Federica.

These meetings are usually discreet, although on some occasions they have been caught by cameras at dinners and nights out in downtown Madrid. On all those occasions, the connection between them has been more than evident. They have been seen sharing laughter, confidences, and affectionate gestures that reinforce the idea that their relationship is serious.

Meanwhile, Juan Urquijo has respected Irene's need for privacy from the beginning. He hasn't given any statements, hasn't been involved in scandals, and has managed to keep a low profile that, paradoxically, has given him credibility and prestige.

In Zarzuela's circle, there are those who value Juan Urquijo positively. It is said that he has exquisite manners, a stable social position, and that he fits the discreet profile the family wants for its youngest members.

There is no doubt that Juan Urquijo's appearance on a key day for Irene Urdangarin confirms the stability and maturity of their relationship. Without words, but with gestures, both continue to build a story based on trust and discretion. Could this step be the beginning of a new, more visible stage in their relationship?
