Christian Gálvez and Patricia Pardo have embraced the holiday season with their son, Luca, as they celebrated both Christmas and the Reyes Magos festival this year. Having recently welcomed their first child together just days before Christmas, the couple has documented their celebrations through cherished moments shared on social media.
This year has been particularly special for the Pardo-Gálvez family, as they traveled to Santiago de Compostela, Galicia,—a significant location filled with memories for the couple. It is here they have spent countless holidays and moments leading to the birth of their son. They shared their family's experiences at the Reyes Magos festival through various posts, bringing their fans along for the ride.
Soon after the holiday celebrations, Patricia reflected on their joyous moments, capturing the magic of the day with the quote, "¡Se chove, que chova!" (If it rains, let it rain) on her Instagram, whimsically celebrating the winter weather.
The highlight of the festive season was certainly Luca's first birthday on December 22, 2023. Marking this milestone, Patricia penned a heartfelt tribute to her son, praising his vibrant personality and the joy he brings to their lives. She wrote, "Luca, tú atesoras el pulso de nuestro amor y eres el alma de nuestra familia. Eres nexo y futuro, LUZ y CAMINO." (Luca, you hold the pulse of our love and are the soul of our family. You are the link and future, LIGHT and PATH). This poignant remark exemplified the strong bond and love they share as parents.
The couple's path hasn’t been without its challenges, particularly for Gálvez, who has experienced setbacks professionally. With recent reports detailing low ratings for his television specials, including the New Year's Eve program he hosted with Verónica Dulanto, interest has waned. His struggles with audience engagement were palpable as the show only attracted 5.7% share with approximately 677,000 viewers, significantly lower than competing specials. Gálvez himself acknowledged this downturn, admitting he's at a crossroads professionally but remains hopeful about his future endeavors.
Despite these hurdles, Gálvez continues to prioritize his family, expressing his desire to dedicate more time to them going forward. "Lo que tenga que venir, vendrá, Dios dirá" (What will come, will come, God will say) he noted, reflecting on the uncertainties of the coming year.
Even amid the professional struggles, both Gálvez and Pardo radiate happiness at home and have been savoring many firsts as parents. They regularly share glimpses of their life together on social media and revel in the joy their son brings to their lives. It’s evident the small family thrives on each pop of laughter and milestone reached.
Patricia has publicly supported her husband during this tough phase, emphasizing the need for talent and hard work to count for something within the television industry, calling for change. "Me gustaría que el talento y el sacrificio tuviera más peso a la hora de tomar decisiones" (I wish talent and sacrifice would carry more weight when it came to decision-making), she remarked, expressing her concern over industry dynamics.
The couple has built their relationship over years, and their recent experiences only seem to deepen their bond. They married quietly on July 29, 2022, and shared the news with their followers one year later, making their family milestone celebrations even more poignant.
Looking toward the future, Gálvez is not ready to give up on his career. His latest work on literature, including his recent book titled "Te he llamado por tu nombre" (I Called You by Your Name), appears to have received some positive feedback from his audience, helping maintain his spirits as his focus shifts back to personal accomplishments.
With the New Year upon them, Patricia Pardo and Christian Gálvez remain committed to their family values and shared joys, hopeful and excited for what’s yet to come. Their story continues to evolve, filled with love, exploration, and personal growth as they navigate parenthood and the intricacies of their professional lives.
