Over the past few months, her name was linked to various public figures, and there was even talk of a possible reconciliation with Jacob von Plessen, the father of her two children.
However, the model and host always made sure to deny any romance, until now

This weekend, the beaches of José Ignacio became the setting for a scene that did not go unnoticed. Relaxed, smiling, and far from the flashes, Zaira was seen with a man who had been mentioned for weeks as her new romantic interest: Robert Strom, a 37-year-old French polo player, a millionaire, and someone who keeps a low media profile.
Dressed in denim shorts and a tank top, barefoot on the sand, Zaira shared an everyday routine with Strom: they went through an exclusive food store, bought beer and bread, filled up with gas, and then drove off together in the classic Mehari that the model uses during her stay in Uruguay. The images spoke for themselves and confirmed that the bond is going through a close and natural moment.
According to what has emerged in jet-set circles, the meeting was reportedly facilitated by Martín Pepa, Pampita's partner, who is said to have acted as a discreet link between them. For now, no one dares to put labels on the relationship, although the signs of complicity are evident.

Who is Robert Strom, the French polo player who won Zaira Nara's heart
Beyond his reserved profile, Robert Strom is a well-known figure in international polo. He has a 4-goal handicap and represents the colors of Sainte Mesme, a historic European organization founded by his grandfather, French aristocrat and magnate Robert Zellinger de Balkany.
Zellinger de Balkany was one of the major businessmen of the Old Continent, the creator of a powerful shopping center empire in Europe and an influential figure in high society. Among his personal connections, his friendship with King Juan Carlos of Spain stood out, which helped cement the family's social and economic standing.
That legacy was continued by Birger Strom, Robert's father, who died in 2021 and led Sainte Mesme to become one of the most important polo organizations in France. Raised among horses, fields, and trips, Robert grew up immersed in that world and today keeps the family tradition alive with his own style.
In sports terms, Strom is coming off a great year: he won the Bronze Cup in Sotogrande with the Les Lions/Sainte Mesme team, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the international circuit. His connection with Argentina is not new either. He speaks Spanish fluently, visits the country frequently to play local tournaments, and is a regular at the Argentine Open Polo Championship, where he moves with complete ease.
