Discuss between love in maturity and that of a lifetime. Mario Vargas Llosa was excited about Isabel Preysler when they began their romance in 2015. In 2023, when the break was already a reality, the writer resumed contact, trips and confessions with the mother of her three children, Patricia Llosa. His cousin, and, also, the woman with whom he was married.
“I don’t know if we would describe it as a reconciliation or not, but it is true that they are spending a long time together since the relationship with Isabel Preysler ended,” he came from the closest environment of Mario, to El País, the newspaper with which Vargas Llosa spoke about his break with the ‘Queen of Hearts’. It was shortly before when the Nobel said that “he did not regret” his relationship with Tamara’s mother and that his relationship had been “a magnificent, not literary experience.”
Then, he said he was happy to abandon a reality in which he did not feel comfortable. Change events and flashes, for the placidity of your office and your books. “They are two very different, very separate worlds.” The sudden death of the writer, at 89, has left his own. To his three children, without a doubt, also to Patricia Llosa and, of course, Isabel Preysler.


Mario Vargas Llosa and Patricia Llosa on his arrival in Paris
In recent times, Patricia Llosa had returned strongly to the author’s life. He was when he entered the French Language Academy, overturned with him before his last Covid and made innumerable trips together, the last one, a cruise on the coast of southern Italy. They were a united family again after seven years of distancing. “It does not touch us to say if that relationship is romantic or of another nature, but the important thing is that the family clan, which had somewhat broken for seven years, has undoubtedly restored,” said the aforementioned medium.
The happiness of their children
Life gave a huge turn for Vargas Llosa, both when its relationship with Isabel Preysler began and when it ended. The separation of his children’s mother plunged his family into a hard trance. They never managed to overcome it. Less when they saw their father share photocalls with Isabel Preysler. It was when this relationship ended when Vargas Llosa resumed his life where he had left her.
-This approach made Morgana, Gonzalo and Álvaro, the children of marriage. “Nobody owes my father and her work as much as she. My father has proclaimed him many times in public, he often repeats it in private. No one deserved to be in the front row more than her. The woman of her life, the cheesies say. Not only the cheesy. The immortals too,” If the rupture with Isabel had occurred, this stamp would not have occurred.
Perhaps the first approach between Mario Vargas Llosa and Patricia Llosa took place when they met again in Lima on the occasion of the wedding of one of her granddaughters. During the celebration, the author was euphoric, happy for recovering his family. And, in the last seven years, we had not seen so many family scenes. When he was with Isabel, the surroundings of this became his reality, and the plans with Álvaro, Morgana and Gonzalo.


Hurt with the separation of their parents
Although when the separation of Llosa marriage occurred, in June 2015, the children already had every 50 years more than fulfilled, they lived the break with such an intense pain, which seemed typical of adolescence. They claimed to feel surprised, because, just a few weeks ago, the gold weddings had been celebrating with their two parents. They were also sad, sorry for the end of this love story; in which she had managed to forgive everything.
Let’s not forget that Patricia, hurt by her husband’s infidelity, wanted to contact Isabel and ended up sending her a letter notifying her that, what she had done with her, was not novelty. She had already forgiven a good number of escapes and fleeting romances of her husband. And he warned him. In the end, he always ends up returning to the family. Seven years later, time proved Patricia.
Isabel Preysler’s pain
“Isabel knows that Mario continues to love her, no matter how much the children walk him everywhere in walks and no matter how much the ex -wife runs by her to solve any issue of intention,” Pilar Eyre wrote in his blog for the magazine Readings. The journalist claimed that Vargas Llosa was unable to forget how happy he was next to ‘The Queen of Hearts’, although he said they belong to opposite worlds. In fact, the novelist felt deeply discouraged when he discovered that Preysler had not been interested in one of his income.
The death of Vargas Llosa has found Preysler at another vital moment. Years have passed since they broke and their relationship, although I had had some contact again, it was a thing of the past. It is impossible not to imagine the pain that will have felt to know this sad news. The writer was one of his great couples, although the relationship did not last so long. Now, focused on other aspects of his life, Isabel can reflect calmly.
