In a Spanish TV show, Hermoso shared surprising revelations about his sex life.
“It’s much easier for women than for men.” Jenni Hermoso, the Spanish national team player, revealed interesting details about her life related to her sexual orientation.
Hermoso was at the center of a big controversy the night La Roja won the Women’s World Cup. The president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, forcibly kissed him, which subsequently led to his resignation and legal proceedings against him.
Hermoso embraces his sexuality
As part of the Spanish TV show ‘Planeta Calleja’, the Spanish star said she was a lesbian and never felt the need to announce her sexuality, emphasizing her sympathy for male players who face a less favorable environment in the world of football.
“I never went so far as to say it. I never openly said that I liked girls. It’s something that has always been taboo. There was never any need for me to say it. People know it and my parents are not stupid,” Hermoso said.

Hermoso added: “It is much easier to be openly gay in women’s football than in men’s football. There is an archetype of a married footballer with a wife and children. And which then turned out to be among many players who admitted they were gay and ended up receiving a lot of hate. “
Hermoso is still suffering from the repercussions of the events on the podium in Sydney. But, she appeared calmer during the show. Her distance from Pachuca, Mexico, where she joined Tigres Santos, must have helped her better manage this story.
