“[Viewers] are going to feel very identified and they will love it,” Rodriguez told Marca ahead of the new season’s release. “This season I have traveled much more than the previous one, because the first one was recorded in a very short time and this season we had a break. In the end, the recordings have lasted much longer and thanks to this I have been able to include many more things.”

Rodriguez was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, when she was a toddler her family moved to her mother’s home country of Spain and she was raised in the city of Jaca. Her native tongue is Spanish.

Rodriguez began dating Ronaldo in 2016 while she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid and remembers exactly how she felt the first time she laid eyes on him.

“When I saw him, he was so handsome that I was even embarrassed to look at him,” she admitted. “I did not attend to him, I attended to the client of a colleague who was on vacation. I was supposed to leave at five in the afternoon but my colleague told me that a Galician customer was going to go to look at coats and I told her not to worry, that I would see to her. Three hours later I was able to go home and the moment [Ronaldo] came in, I was leaving. He said good afternoon to me and I said good afternoon to him and I felt butterflies in my stomach.”

Ronaldo is from Portugal and Rodriguez also speaks Portuguese. She is fluent in English as well. According to the Daily Mail, she once worked as an au pair in Bristol, England and learned how to speak the language then.
