Cayetano Rivera Confirms What Was Rumored About María Cerqueira

A few weeks ago, Cayetano Rivera announced his intention to end his bullfighting career at the conclusion of the 2025 season. This decision coincides with the centenary of the start of his great-grandfather Ordóñez's career and with the 20 years since he himself debuted in the bullfighting world. In an emotional video shared on his social media, he expressed: “I feel that it's time to say goodbye.”

During the Diálogos Taurinos event in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Cayetano was asked by Europa Press about this matter. Specifically, about the reaction of María Cerqueira, his girlfriend, to his retirement.

The bullfighter has confirmed what was an open secret. Yes, that his partner is “obviously” happy with the news, just like “all the people who love me.”

However, he has also pointed out that, although there is joy, there is a certain sadness among his loved ones. He has stated that they “also feel a certain sadness. And they understand how important it is and what this life as a bullfighter has meant to me.”

Regarding his last bullfight, Cayetano Rivera has stated that, for now, “I don't know when or where it's going to be. I've always wanted to finish in Ronda, because that's where it all started, but it won't be possible. We're considering it, we're also listening to businessmen, proposals, but we haven't decided anything yet.”

The retirement of Francisco Rivera's brother marks the end of an era in his life. But it also marks the beginning of a new stage with his children, Cayetano and Lucía, and his partner.
