Zayra Gutiérrez opens up about her parents’ divorce: “I have had to go to psychologists to strengthen myself”

Zayra Gutierrez (24) has made headlines for years not only for being the daughter of Guti (47) and Benito’s Arantxa (54), but also for the rebellious attitude that has defined his adolescence. In part, both aspects are related, since her parents’ divorce influenced her poor and inexperienced management of his mental health. Now that she is back in Spain after leaving Survivors due to a herniated disc, has spoken about the key aspects of his life in a long and sincere interview.

The young woman He told Lecturas how he received the separation from his parents. The former Real Madrid player and the presenter married in 1999, a year after Zayra was born. It was in 2009 when they decided to go their separate ways. “He made me very sad and it affected me,” she explains in their conversation, because at that time he was 9 years old and was facing a turbulent future, marked by incomprehension and disobedience.
“In my adolescence I didn’t have a good time, I’m very sensitive. Things affect me. I was rebellious because I was a restless ass,” he explains, acknowledging that on more than one occasion he has put himself in the hands of professionals. “There have been times when I have had to go to psychologists to strengthen myself. Thanks to them I have moved on”, he adds, of course, without pointing out his parents as the culprits of his “hatred” – that’s what his mother called Zayra’s youth. She denies her bad relationship with them and assures that they support her in everything. “As I have argued with my father, I have argued with my mother or my grandmother. I have argued with everyone,” she emphasizes.

In this sense, the former survivor did not like her parents’ breakup, but she understands that these things happen: “I would have loved to see them together all their lives. But there are times when love ends and in his case it is over. I understand that everyone has their problems, their discussions… I’m not going to get involved there because they are their problems. “I didn’t have a bad time because neither my mother nor my father have given me a bad time.”

In some ways, she empathizes with them more than ever, since she became a mother last year with her boyfriend, Miki Mejías.. Being a mother, she says, has changed her life. She assures that since then she is happier and that, after five years together, she feels proud of the path she has taken with her boy, with whom she points out future plans. “She made me come back. I was sad when I met him. She took away many complexes from me, many insecurities. She made me feel very powerful. And I will always thank her.”
