Meanwhile, before the Olga Rios storyline gained popularity, Putellas’ rumored relationship with Jenni Hermoso was the favorite storyline of Spain fans. Let’s have a look at that as well.

Recalling Putellas and Hermoso’s relationship

Jenni Hermoso joined FCB a year after Alexia Puttellas joined and the two grew immensely close ever since. Neither of the duo has spoken about a romantic relationship, but rumors started to spread like wildfire after they attended a pride parade in Madrid. Since then, the two Spaniards became regulars at the annual pride event in the Spanish capital.

Jenni Hermoso later revealed that she was single and her previous relationship impacted her performance on the pitch. She added she has been able to successfully manage her career ever since she has learned to ‘live by herself.’ Hence, single or taken, the Spanish superstar duo have moved on and both have found success. Both were instrumental to Spain’s 2023 WC win. Can they repeat a similar win in the Paris Olympics? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
