Brunella Horna EXCLUSIVELY: talks about motherhood, her relationship with Acuña and Vallejo’s new signing

When she was told she would never be a mother, her world fell apart. She was 25 years old. That day, Brunella Horna (Chiclayo, 1996) cried with an intensity that until that moment was unknown to her, but as soon as the crying stopped, an iron determination emerged from her, ready to challenge the impossible to give life to a dream that seemed to disappear in her hands. Motherhood became a turning point in her life. With the arrival of Alessio, her pain was transformed into love, her hopelessness into hope, and her crumbling world into one filled with joy. “I have never been happier than now”, he tells us smiling.

“Was It was a very hard blow to be told that I would not be able to have children because motherhood was my dream. With Richard we went to several friendly doctors to help us, but none of them gave us good news, until we reached Dr. Noriega, whom I adore, I owe my happiness to him. He was very patient with me because the process was long, it took me about a year to get pregnant. It was crazy when I saw two lines in the home test”, he comments.

Brunella’s pregnancy was not easy. Just a month and a half after becoming pregnant, a threatened abortion rocked her life once again.

“I was covering the premiere of ‘Luz de Luna’ in Pachacamac, when I felt something was happening. I went to the bathroom, I had a lot of blood. I feared the worst, I thought I had lost my baby. So, I called Richard, then the doctor. I also contacted Armando, the producer of the program, who until that moment did not know that she was pregnant. I stayed away from television for four months. I focused on saving my son. I had complete rest, I went through very difficult times, but it was all worth it. The day my baby came into this world was the happiest of my life.“, account.

Alessio Acuña Horna was born on November 24, 2023. From that moment, motherhood with all its joys and challenges became the epicenter of the model’s life.

“As a new mother, I sometimes have doubts and fears. This is constant learning. My baby is my biggest teacher, we learn together. Even though she gets up every two hours and doesn’t let me sleep [ríe]. Since he came into my life, my days are pure happiness. He is loving, he hugs me, he holds my face, and he already said ‘ma’. That was my early Mother’s Day gift.”, he confesses.

At this stage of Brunella’s life, Richard has become an unconditional support. “We are a great team. I don’t know what I would have done without him. He understands me, he helps me. He is a great father to all of his children and a great husband. He wants Alessio to be a footballer, I want him to be a lawyer. In the end he will be what he wants to be, and we will always be by his side supporting him.”, he highlights.

Love as a court

The love story of the famous couple began in May 2017, when the former politician took the first step by contacting the beautiful model through WhatsApp. “Hey, skinny girl, stop with the scandals. You’re not going to get anywhere like this,” was the first message he wrote to her.

After a month of recurring and friendly virtual conversations, they finally agreed to go out to dinner together. Brunella was accompanied by Ivana Yturbe and two cousins ​​Richard. That evening marked the beginning of a series of meetings that culminated at the altar.

“I was on a live Rodrigo and Gigi show when I received Richard’s first message. I had never had contact with him before, I didn’t know him. What happened next everyone already knows. We had the marriage we both always dreamed of. There were 600 guests, including politicians, businessmen, friends from Chiclayo and Trujillo. Also friends from television, the closest: Gisela, Karen, Maju and Valeria Piazza”, recalls the América TV figure.

He also highlights that their relationship is based on trust and mutual respect. Although they share and discuss their plans and projects, including work ones, each one has the autonomy to make their own decisions. This was evident in the case of the hiring of striker Paolo Guerrero to the César Vallejo club.

“We were buying my grandfather’s gift in a sports clothing store, when we met Paolo and his mother, Mrs. Peta, at the checkout. We greeted each other, and everything was fine. Then, in the car, Richard says to me: ‘What if I take him to the club?’ I replied: ‘How are you going to bring him, he must be playing outside.’ But since nothing is impossible for Richard, he got his number and brought him. It was crazy, you have no idea how much press came to my house. He approached me when I went out, I felt like Kim Kardashian [ríe]“, agrees the businesswoman, and then announces that in the middle of this year, her husband and president of the Trujillo club, will once again shake up Peruvian sports with a new hire.

“This is someone super well-known, he plays outside. I just hope that the meetings are no longer at my house [ríe]. In the end, what matters most is that Vallejo wins”, he emphasizes, avoiding revealing the name of the footballer and the position in which he plays.
