Óscar Puente's ex-vvife destroys her wedding rings: "Don't bring me memories of the past"
On 9 June, judge Laura Soria Velasco, ex-vvife of Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente, was filmed at a jeweller's in Valladolid asking for her wedding rings to be destroyed. "Don't bring me memories of the past," she can be heard saying to the shop assistant in the video posted by the store Be Joya Valladolid on Instagram.
The gesture takes on significance days after Puente and his current partner, Yasmina Gregori, announced the birth of their first child together, Óscar III, in May 2025. The minister also has two teenage daughters from his previous marriage to Soria, who until now had kept a low profile.
The video has reignited scrutiny of Puente's personal life, especially after the controversies surrounding his divorce. In 2023, a photograph showing him with an unidentified blonde woman in a Mercedes G-Class worth over €200,000, owned by a contractor for Valladolid City Council, was dismissed by his circle as a "far-right smear". Shortly afterwards, however, his then vvife filed for divorce. "Such a hoax that the woman asked for a divorce," some commentators quip.
Now, while Puente celebrates his new fatherhood, his ex-vvife prefers to erase any physical trace of the marriage. The image of a judge destroying her wedding bands has left no one indifferent. An act of liberation or a coded message? The video keeps circulating on social media, and so do the interpretations.
