An Argentine comedian who is dating the country’s new president, populist sex guru Javier Milei, has opened up about the pair’s young relationship which “exploded” as the country’s financial crisis continued to mount.
Despite only dating the libertarian politician for six months, Fátima Flórez, 42, is widely regarded as the first lady or first lady from Argentina.
“I’m really attracted to Javier,” he told the Sunday Times in Spanish during an interview published Sunday, his first with a foreign outlet.
“Even though we are far apart, we are very close. And when we’re close, we’re close, we explode, explode, you know what I mean?”
Flórez doesn’t shy away from voicing Milei’s exaggerations about her sexual prowess, including a former tantric instructor saying she could hold herself from climaxing for three months.
“No complaints,” he said of the power couple’s intimate relationship, adding with a laugh, “There was a lot of satisfaction.”

But the relationship was also off the charts in other departments, he reportedly claimed.
“I love him very, very much,” she said. “He’s a rock star.”
Indeed, Milei’s flair for theatrics could make Ozzy Osbourne blush.
Sworn in last month, the 53-year-old former TV pundit, who sports an unruly mop of hair and sideburns that rivals the comic book character Wolverine, appeared on the campaign trail in a leather jacket and wielding a chainsaw, which he said was to cut wasteful spending.

Milei’s pledge to adopt the dollar instead of the peso to fight triple-digit inflation, increase gun sales, allow people to sell their organs, recriminalize abortion and privatize waterways was met with the approval of 56 percent of the country’s voters in the November runoff.
The candidate’s authoritarian streak sparked a huge youth vote at a time when soaring poverty and collapsing purchasing power are ravaging the country, and his La Libertad Avanza coalition defeated Peronism, the left-wing statist system of government that has ruled Argentina for most of the past 75 years.
Milei’s victory is considered by political observers to be less about politics and more about reversing the status quo customs. His rise has been compared to the upset victories of right-wing Donald Trump in the US and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil last decade.
In his first month in office, he halved the number of government departments and pushed for economic deregulation that caused prices to rise.
He also shunned the official presidential palace and moved to the suburbs of Buenos Aires with five mastiffs genetically engineered to be clones of one of his dead dogs.
The other woman in Milei’s life is her sister Karina, whom she calls “the boss” — using the Spanish masculine form “the boss”. Critics speculate that Karina is the one who actually wields the power of the presidency.
But Flórez insisted that despite the country’s turmoil and mounting concerns about Milei’s leadership capabilities, the first couple’s relationship was made to last and would benefit the country.

“People can think what they like,” Flórez said. “Actually we are happy together.
“We don’t bring work into our relationship, our moments together are for fun. We use our time together well, caressing each other, hugging, connecting, talking about our feelings, emotional and spiritual.
Flórez takes the stage almost every night in an Argentinian resort town to perform impressions of a host of celebrities including Michael Jackson, Shakira, and yes, Milei, who caught her act in late December and took to the stage to give the 13-second hug. go viral.
During the interview, he was quick to show his guise as another right-wing show-off world leader who rose to national fame on the small screen.

Flórez was in the room when former US President and current candidate Trump called to congratulate Milei on her Nov. 19 victory.
“He was very emotional with Javier’s victory, he was very loving. He wants to congratulate Javier on his amazing success,” he said, before switching to English to impersonate Trump delivering “Congratulations! Congratulations!”
Milei’s powerful new position and Flórez’s six-nights-a-week staging of her show “Fátima 100%” in Mar del Plata, 260 miles from Buenos Aires, meant that the first couple were essentially in a long-distance relationship.
“We haven’t seen each other for a week,” Flórez told the newspaper. “He is a dedicated full-time president, he sleeps very little to work and to meet everything he has to do, which is a lot, a big challenge.”
“There is an emergency situation,” he added, referring to the country’s economic crisis, “so the moments we are together, we try to make them very quality.”
“He’s not like a politician,” Flórez gushed. “I have never seen any politician loved by the people.”
