I would love to be celebrating the 40th birthday with some of my crazy thoughts... some absurd costume or a game of bubble football... To put examples from recent years.
It has not been possible due to an error that he came out paying very dearly, but i trust that it will give everything true soon. “ she wrote.

Having expressed regret over Alves’s mistake that led to the end of their relationship, Sanz also added that despite her desire to separate legally from the Brazil defender, she will keep supporting him until the truth surrounding the rape case is brought to light.
