Argentina president splits from ‘lioness’ girlfriend over work pressure

The ‘explosive’ love life of Argentinian president Javier Milei has imploded after he blamed work pressures for a split from his ‘lioness’ celebrity girlfriend

The libertarian populist was last seen together with Fatima Florez, 43, in Miami on Wednesday as riots broke out on the streets of Buenos Aires in protest at public spending cuts in a country where 40 percent live in poverty.

They boasted of their ‘exotic’ relationship after going public in July last year with Milei, 53, insisting ‘I am very in love’ with the Argentinian actress and comedian.

But he said their conflicting schedules had placed too much strain on the couple as he announced the end of their relationship on Saturday.

‘As a result of the overwhelming professional success that Fatima, of whom I am extremely proud, is experiencing, she has received numerous job offers to work both in the United States and in Europe,’ he wrote on social media.

‘This, added to the complex task that I am facing today and that the Argentines have entrusted me with, has led us to live apart, making it impossible for us to have the relationship as a couple that we would like to have, despite how much we love each other.

‘That is why we decided to end our relationship and maintain a bond of friendship given how much we feel for each other and how much we love, respect and admire each other.’

Florez has yet to respond publicly to the end of the relationship which was sparked when they appeared together on a popular talk show in December 2022, two months before she separated from her then-husband of 22 years.
