Early Life and education

Olvido Hormigos is now 54 years old. She was born on 16 February 1971 in Los Yébenes, Toledo, in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain. During her formative years she lived in that town and later entered public service locally. Her educational background indicates that she worked as a primary school teacher before entering politics.

Personal Life

Olvido Hormigos has been married to Jesús Atahonero, a carpenter by profession, since the early 1990s. The couple have three children together: Mario (born in 2000), Javier (born in 2002) and Valeria (born in 2014). Though still married, Olvido has publicly described their relationship as an “open marriage” meaning that while they remain together for family reasons they acknowledged that they no longer maintained a conventional intimate relationship.

Career

Olvido Hormigos’s career divides into two main phases: local politics and media/television. From around 2011 to 2013 she served as a councillor in the town of Los Yébenes for the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party). Her political career was dramatically affected by the viral distribution of a personal video in 2012, which led to intense public attention.

Following that, she entered the television industry: she became a contributor to the talk-show programme Sálvame on Telecinco in May 2013. She participated in reality programmes such as ¡Mira quién salta! (2013) and Campamento de verano (2013).

In 2015 she entered as a contestant in Gran Hermano VIP (Spanish Celebrity Big Brother) and was the first expelled participant from that edition.

In June 2016 she joined Mujeres y Hombres y Viceversa as “asesora del amor” (love advisor). Over time she remained a fixture in Spanish tabloid-television, leveraging her public visibility and speaking candidly about her personal experiences.

Net worth

Olvido Hormigos now has an estimated net worth of at least $3 million.

Controversy

A major controversy in Olvido Hormigos’s life revolves around the diffusion of her private video in August 2012. The video was shared on the internet without her consent, leading to widespread media coverage and legal debate.

At the time Spanish law did not penalise the dissemination of such material when the images had been voluntarily filmed (though later legal reforms followed). She also engaged in on-camera confrontations with other television personalities; one notable rivalry was with fellow television contributor Belén Esteban, especially during the 2015 edition of Gran Hermano VIP.
