Blanca Romero was born on 2 June 1976 in Gijón. Her parents are of Peruvian and Romani descent.[1]

Career

[edit]

At age 14, she appeared in her first fashion show at a boutique in Gijón. As a result, she became interested in the subject of fashion; at 17 she moved to Madrid, and two years later to Paris to work at fashion magazines such as Givenchy and Madame Figaro.[2]

She composed her first song in 2001. In mid-2006, she began a short-lived musical career under the stage name La Perra.[3][4]

She took part in some reports for the Antena 3 television program PuntoDoc. An appearance on El club de Flo [es] on LaSexta led to her being noticed by the creative team for the teen drama series Física o Química, and she made the leap to acting.[5] She went on to act in Las mañanas de Cuatro [es] and Supermodelo 2006. She has appeared on the cover of the Spanish edition of Elle on several occasions, and posed nude in a special issue to raise awareness of water scarcity and pollution issues for Expo 2008 in Zaragoza.[6]

She made her film debut in 2009 with After, for which she was nominated for Best New Actress at the 24th Goya Awards.[7] She followed this with Los muertos no se tocan, nene [es] in 2011 and The End in 2012.

In 2015, she starred in the first season of the Antena 3 series Bajo sospecha, playing an undercover police officer partnered with Yon González.[8] After its renewal for a second season, it was published that Romero would not continue in the project, and would be replaced by Olivia Molina. A year later, it was announced that she had signed on for the miniseries La luz de la esperanza on La 1, alongside Isak Férriz, Natalia de Molina, and Pep Anton Muñoz [es].[9]

In 2020, it was confirmed that she would reprise her role as Irene Calvo Azpeolea in Física o químicaː El reencuentro for the platform Atresplayer Premium.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

On 11 September 1998, she gave birth to her first child, a girl. On 10 July 2015 she revealed the identity of her daughter's biological father through an Instagram photo.

On 26 October 2001 she married the bullfighter Cayetano Rivera Ordóñez in the church of San Pedro in Gijón. Cayetano legally adopted Blanca's daughter, Lucía. They divorced in 2004.[3]
