Rosalía reveals ‘the pearl’ that ruined her reunion with her ex

Rosalía recounted a personal experience involving an ex-partner on the podcast @specialpeopleclubpodcast, hosted by Esty Quesada (known as Soy una pringada). The singer responded to a question about the most disappointing thing a man had ever done to her.

ROSALÍA recounts her worst experience with one of her ex-boyfriends. (She is supposedly talking about an ex who is only 1.73 meters tall.) “I had a boyfriend who was kind of ‘Morse code,’ you know? Emotional Morse code. I remember we were together for a few years — I can’t even say exactly how many — but we ended up breaking up. Then the typical thing happened: a relapse, a week after the breakup. We had a relapse, started seeing each other again, and got back together. At a certain point, out of nowhere, he drops a line on me. He turns to me and says: ‘How I missed my whore.’ When he said that, I went completely cold. I was in shock, paralyzed. Like a frozen strawberry ice cream, you know? I went flat, with no reaction at all. Horrible. Dead inside, lost. I couldn’t even respond. I was very, very shocked. So that’s how I reacted: in that moment, I didn’t expect it at all and I just stayed there, without reacting. When I finally managed to react, I stood up, left, and never went back. Obviously. Goodbye. That was very heavy for me. I was never able to forgive that. I think nowadays, maybe, I’m starting to get to a point where I could forgive it.” #rosalia #badbunny #rauwalejandro #laperla #lux

She explained that she had been in a relationship for several years with a man she described as emotionally complicated. The break-up, she said, was his fault. However, a week later, they saw each other again and resumed contact on an occasional basis.

During that intimate moment, her ex-boyfriend uttered a phrase that completely changed the situation: ‘How I’ve missed my w****!’ Rosalía said she was ‘frozen stiff’, unable to react immediately due to the impact of the comment. When she finally did, she decided to leave and never see him again.

When she managed to process it, she got up and left. ‘Obviously, I never went back after that,’ she said, making it clear that there was no second chance after that episode. The singer did not reveal the identity of her ex-boyfriend and framed the anecdote within the relaxed tone of the conversation.

The identity of the ex remains a mystery — as does the person behind ‘La Perla’ — so the case remains open but without names. What is clear is that the anecdote fits in with Lux’s current phase, released in November 2025, a project that also includes collaborations such as the one she shares with Yahritza and his Esencia.
