Cristina Pedroche, the renowned television personality, recently opened up about her life with her husband, famous chef David Muñoz, shedding light on their personal dynamics and the challenges they face together.
Pedroche described Muñoz as a "tormented person" who constantly strives for perfection. "He lives thinking everything can be done differently. That’s good, but it has its limits," she stated during her interview with ¡Hola! magazine. This statement encapsulates the essence of their life together: characterized by Muñoz’s relentless pursuit of excellence and its toll on his personal happiness.
The couple has been under the media's eye since they became public figures, and Pedroche elaborated on the pressures they face, admitting, "Sometimes he is so tired he feels somewhat lost, and he needs our psychologist or to talk to me." This honest remark emphasizes the supportive role she plays, helping him reconnect with the present and find balance amid the chaos of their high-profile lives.
Despite Muñoz's stature as one of the best chefs globally, Pedroche expressed concern over his obsession with work, which at times prevents him from enjoying life to the fullest. "He is the best chef in the world, but his obsession with cooking or perfection sometimes leads him not to enjoy the moment," she pointed out. Reflecting on their ups and downs, she added: "He truly is not happy. He is only happy when he's finished running, when he’s bathing our daughter, when we’re at some restaurant, and that's not great. It would be wonderful if he were happy, truly happy, cooking at DiverXo," she noted, adding depth to the portrayal of their family life.
This candid discussion around Muñoz’s struggles with happiness was echoed during Pedroche's podcast appearance where she remarked on his perpetual dissatisfaction. "He is a lifelong unsatisfied person, unhappy. I try to show him daily how fortunate he is and how great his life can be, but he still... He enjoys being in his storm, he is very tempestuous," she concluded.
Pedroche and Muñoz recently made headlines not just for their personal revelations but also for their luxurious living arrangements.
