Who is Fatima Habibah, the New President of Argentina?

The new First Lady of Argentina, Fatima Flores, has drawn attention since the victory of the liberal economist Javier Milei in the presidential election. So, who is the president's partner? Fatima, 42 years old, has appeared several times alongside Milei. She is a prominent actress and television presenter since the early 2000s, and above all, she is a famous comedic star known for her impersonation talents. Flores was married for 22 years to her producer Norberto Marcos, who suggested her nickname "Fatima," as her real name is "Eugenia."

She is the daughter of an architect and a history and geography teacher, growing up in Olivos, a town northwest of Buenos Aires, where the official residence of Argentine presidents is located. According to local media, Fatima Flores met Javier Milei in December 2022 during a television show, but their relationship did not start until a few months later. It was not revealed until last August, a week after the primary elections aimed at naming presidential candidates. Some media at the time questioned the timing of this announcement.

After total secrecy, the couple appeared publicly for the first time just two weeks before the elections. A few days prior, in the final stages before the vote, Fatima Flores had to deny rumors of a breakup. Last Sunday evening, Fatima appeared radiant alongside Javier Milei, greeting the audience. Will their relationship withstand the upheavals of power and media pressure? Given the biography of the newly elected Argentine president, there is curiosity about what will happen next.
