What happened between Raoul Vázquez and Agoney?

Raoul Vázquez and Agoney were not only protagonists of one of the best performances of Operación Triunfo 2017, they also became the focus of many rumors about a possible romance between the two.

The distance between the two became evident at the end of OT and, as published by 20 minutos, the difference in interest in one another had a lot to do with it. "As I have been able to find out thanks to the rumors and comments that are coming to me from people close to his tour, Agoney could be more taken with Raoul than Raoul with Agoney. It seems that his way of understanding their love was differently and this would have caused a distance between them that goes beyond the scenarios. For example, when they eat in a group, and although they already speak to each other, they do so little and sit quite far apart. They would no longer share a room In fact, and without going any further, Raoul was recently partying in Ibiza giving it his all with several friends and, apparently, without thinking too much about the canary that, although he doesn't stay locked up at home either, could take the subject of their separation is a little worse", wrote Rosy Runrún.

"We're not dating and never have been", was one of the few phrases Agoney said about Raoul after passing through OT.

Although the cameras couldn't capture what Agoney was writing to Ricky, it was possible to see her saying "I'm going to sleep" at the beginning, circled the last word, took out an arrow and added "with me" and a little heart!

“They tell me I'm dead from the waist down”

Despite the fact that the public associated him with his partner Raoul Vázquez and, later, with Ricky Merino, Agoneand always denied, in both cases, anything more than a friendship resulting from their time on the television show.

In fact, the ex-successful man denies any possibility of starting a relationship as a couple. “All my friends tell me I'm dead from the waist down. I don't need sex. Also, I'm in quite a stressful time because the confinement coincided with the launch of my work, and that lowers my libido to full… I don't think about anything other than work”, he explained in an interview with Shanghai.

“I don't have a boyfriend. That works very badly for me. The last guy I was infatuated with, and I was quite infatuated with, it turned out that I was having a hard time, 'the other' was me... I had been with another boy for seven years. Guys, girls, if your ex writes to you, don't respond. They are not in love and they do not want to return, they are simply bored, "he added.

She... she is my mother," says the letter she shared on social media.
