The Real Madrid goalkeeper and the daughter of Infanta Elena shared a relaxed chat at the Starlite Occident festival in Marbella during the concert of reggaeton artist Mora.
Thibaut Courtois has chosen Marbella to recover from Belgium's elimination in the World Cup. The Belgian goalkeeper, accompanied by his wife Mishel Gerzig, attended the concert of Mora at the Starlite Occident festival on Friday, July 17, where he coincided with Victoria Federica de Marichalar.
The daughter of Infanta Elena, a regular at the Marbella event, did not want to miss the performance of the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist. The evening also coincided with the 28th birthday of her brother, Felipe Juan Froilán, whom she had wished a happy birthday on Instagram just hours earlier.
A VIP meeting backstage
At one point during the night, photographers captured Victoria Federica and Thibaut Courtois engaged in a relaxed chat. The image has become one of the most talked-about moments of the evening.
The event's host, Sandra García-Sanjuán, co-founder of the Starlite Group, acted as the perfect hostess. She accompanied Victoria Federica during the show and, along with her husband Ignacio Maluquer, chatted with Courtois and his wife. The couple also acted as intermediaries to introduce them to the singer Mora backstage.
Joining the list of celebrities were businesswoman Estefanía Luyk, accompanied by her children, and actress Marlene Mourreau. "It's a concert that my kids love," Luyk confessed to the media. Mourreau, for her part, praised the festival: "It's the place where you can shine."
Mora's debut at Starlite: sold out and festive atmosphere
The reggaeton artist made a grand debut on the Marbella night: sold out and the Nagüeles quarry transformed into an epicentre of urban music. During the show, Mora performed some of his biggest hits, such as Volando Remix, Tuyo, Detrás de tu Alma, and Aurora. A performance marked by energy and connection with the audience.
For attendees, the evening was a resounding success. The festive atmosphere remained throughout the night, with an enthusiastic crowd singing along to every song. Starlite Occident thus demonstrates its ability to attract big names in urban music.
Courtois, from the World Cup to Marbella
Thibaut Courtois has begun to enjoy the summer following his World Cup experience. The goalkeeper's World Cup dream ended on July 10, when Belgium fell to Spain in the quarter-finals. The goalkeeper could not finish the match: he left the field in the 72nd minute due to an injury, distraught and unable to hold back tears. His substitute, Lammens, could not prevent Mikel Merino's goal in the 88th minute that gave victory to La Roja.
After the match, Courtois received support from his wife and children. He shared a loving hug with his daughter Ellie, aged two, in the stands of the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. His second child, Nico, from his previous relationship with Marta Domínguez, was also present.
Now, in Marbella, the Belgian goalkeeper has traded tears for music and relaxation. His presence at Starlite Occident demonstrates that the Marbella summer is the favourite destination for celebrities.
Victoria Federica's summer
The daughter of Infanta Elena has been enjoying the summer season for several weeks. Before heading to Marbella, she was in Mallorca with her friend Rocío Laffón. For Victoria Federica, the Balearic island has always been a must on her agenda since she was a child and spent summers at the Palace of Marivent.
In Marbella, Victoria Federica has once again shown her social side. Her meeting with Courtois at Starlite Occident has been the topic of conversation among attendees. The young woman, who is following in her mother's footsteps in the world of fashion and public relations, feels at home on the Costa del Sol.
For the residents of the province of Málaga, seeing familiar faces like Courtois and Victoria Federica in Marbella is common. The city is consolidating itself as the reference destination for the summer of the national and international jet set. Starlite Occident, with its concert programme, continues to attract a select audience seeking quality leisure.
The festival continues its summer programme with more concerts in the coming weeks. Attendees can check the official website for upcoming events.
