Urgent Statement from Bertín Osborne and Fabiola Martínez About Their Son Kike

Bertín Osborne and Fabiola Martínez shared almost two decades of life together, during which they became parents to two sons: Kike and Carlos. Kike's condition, who was born with a brain injury, posed a challenge that both faced with dedication and commitment.

With Kike reaching adulthood, the couple was forced to make a crucial decision regarding his future. According to current legislation, parental authority ends when turning 18. This forced the family to resort to the figure of guardianship to ensure the continuity of his protection.

The uncertainty surrounding this process was something Fabiola had already expressed previously. During the charity gala of the Fundación Soñar Despierto, the model spoke about the fears that both she and Bertín had expressed regarding this new stage of their son. Not only because of his education but also because of the legal challenges that his adulthood entailed.

Recently, Fabiola Martínez spoke about this legal process, revealing that she, her ex-husband, and the rest of the family had gathered in court to establish Kike's guardianship. It is a legal institution that seeks to assist people with disabilities in decision-making without completely nullifying their legal capacity.

The decision was not taken lightly, and Bertín Osborne's older daughters, Alejandra, Eugenia, and Claudia, from his marriage to Sandra Domecq, also participated. Finally, the judge determined that Fabiola Martínez would be Kike's legal guardian, assuming a key role in his adult life.

The Implications of Guardianship for Fabiola Martínez

From now on, Fabiola Martínez will be the person responsible for making essential decisions in her son's life. As a legal guardian, she will manage his assets and represent his interests in those aspects where Kike Osborne can't act on his own.

It is important to note that guardianship doesn't completely replace the legal capacity of the protected person but complements it. In this sense, Fabiola will be able to intervene in essential decisions without invalidating Kike's right to participate in those he can manage.

Fabiola's responsibility doesn't end here, as she will also have to report to the judicial authority. "To show that I'm doing the role well and limiting misuse, in the end, you have a person's life in your hands," Martínez declared to Europa Press.

As a guardian, Fabiola is obliged to present periodic reports on her son's personal and financial situation. All of this is designed to ensure transparency in her management.

The decision of Bertín Osborne and Fabiola Martínez to establish Kike's guardianship and appoint Fabiola as his legal guardian marks a turning point. This act of responsibility by his parents ensures his protection and well-being, showing that, beyond their separation, their priority remains the care of their son.
