· Pilar BusteloThe interviewer asks Blaquier to describe herself beyond her public image.

She humorously refers to herself as South America's "golden bachelorette," acknowledging the attention but also the complexities of her romantic life. Blaquier admits to often dating younger men and being committed in her relationships, despite her "free and borderless" lifestyle that splits her time between Europe and Argentina. She notes that this dynamic, while initially fascinating, can be challenging for men who may prefer a more conventional partner.

We were laughing with a friend and jokingly said that I am the golden bachelorette of South America. The luck of the ugly, a bit the pretty one desires it...

Blaquier attributes her independent spirit to a strong matriarchal upbringing. Raised by a mother with many sisters and a "fabulous" grandmother, she learned to be self-sufficient, capable of managing household tasks, finances, and even changing a tire. This upbringing, she explains, has shaped her into a "Wonder Woman" figure, a quality that can be overwhelming for some men.

I like young people a lot, I always have very young boyfriends and I am a long-term partner and a woman of only one man.

· Concepción Cochrane BlaquierBlaquier discusses her dating preferences and relationship style.

Despite her international life and sophisticated style, Blaquier remains deeply connected to her Argentine roots. She expresses a profound love for her country and her large, close-knit family, with whom she communicates daily. This strong sense of belonging and the triumph of love within her family solidify her commitment to Argentina, where she feels most at home.

We were educated under a matriarchy: my mother has eight siblings, of which seven are women, all very strong, and my grandmother (Malena Nelson de Blaquier) was very fabulous.
