“[Viewers] are going to feel very identified and they will love it,” Rodriguez told Marca ahead of the new season’s release. “This season I have traveled much more than the previous one, because the first one was recorded in a very short time and this season we had a break. In the end, the recordings have lasted much longer and thanks to this I have been able to include many more things.”
How many languages does Rodriguez speak?

Rodriguez began dating Ronaldo in 2016 while she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid and remembers exactly how she felt the first time she laid eyes on him.
“When I saw him, he was so handsome that I was even embarrassed to look at him,” she admitted. “I did not attend to him, I attended to the client of a colleague who was on vacation. I was supposed to leave at five in the afternoon but my colleague told me that a Galician customer was going to go to look at coats and I told her not to worry, that I would see to her. Three hours later I was able to go home and the moment [Ronaldo] came in, I was leaving. He said good afternoon to me and I said good afternoon to him and I felt butterflies in my stomach.”
