Belén in Benidorm

While British tabloids are full of Jude, Sadie, Sienna, et al, our Spanish equivalent - they call it the pink press - is full of the story of Jesulín's ex Belén and a waiter.

Confused? Then read on and all will be revealed. Benidorm is the setting for the blossoming romance between Belén Esteban, the glamorous blonde ex-wife of famous Spanish bullfighter Jesulín, whose break-up was splashed all over the press.

Belén has now got together with a lifelong friend, a waiter called Fran, and is having a very public romance in one of our hotels here in Benidorm. The couple have been paparazzied kissing and cuddling at tables, by the pool, on chairs, on loungers, and any other available space. This has led to speculation by the magazine 'Diez Minutos' that they may just be an item. We think they're probably right.
