The 35-year-old matador has killed more than 2,000 bulls, but because of both his family ties - he descends from Spain's most important bullfighting dynasty and was briefly married to the Duchess of Alba's daughter - and his abundant good looks, Rivera is as well-known for his presence in the gossip rags...
