It’s not every day we get to see a royal princess getting rejected!

Seems like that almost impossible has *allegedly* happened in the case of Princess Leonor !


Read on to know more.


Who is Prince Leonor?

Princess Leonor of Asturias, born on October 31, 2005, is the eldest daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain. As the heir presumptive to the Spanish throne, she holds the title of Princess of Asturias, among others. Leonor has been educated in various prestigious institutions, including UWC Atlantic College in Wales, and is currently undergoing military training at Spain's General Military Academy and Naval Military Academy.


Her public appearances often attract significant media attention, and she is known for her poised demeanor and commitment to her royal duties. Despite her high-profile status, Leonor maintains a relatively private personal life, with few details about her relationships or personal interests publicly available.


The Gavi romance rumors: a timeline of events

The speculation linking Princess Leonor to Spanish footballer Gavi (Pablo Páez Gaviria) began in 2022. After Spain's 7-0 victory over Costa Rica in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, rumors circulated that King Felipe VI had requested a signed jersey from Gavi for his daughter, fueling speculation about a potential relationship.


Further fueling the rumors, during a visit to Zarzuela Palace, a brief handshake between Gavi and Leonor was captured, leading to increased media attention and public curiosity about their relationship.


Gavi's stance: prioritizing career and personal Life

Despite the growing rumors, Gavi has remained focused on his football career and personal life. Reports suggest that he declined a request from King Felipe VI to provide a personalized gesture for Princess Leonor, choosing instead to continue his relationship with Ana Pelayo , a 22-year-old influencer and student from Seville .

Gavi's decision to prioritize his personal relationship over potential royal connections has been met with public support, with fans appreciating his commitment to authenticity and personal choice.



Although too much has already been speculated and the rumors linking Princess Leonor and Gavi have captured public attention, there is no confirmed evidence of a romantic relationship between the two. Both individuals continue to focus on their respective paths—Leonor on her royal duties and education, and Gavi on his football career and personal life. As there hasn’t been any official statement from either end, for now, the narrative remains entirely speculative.
