Ana Guerra, the talented Canary Island singer who rose to fame on the 2017 edition of 'Operación Triunfo', has become a household name in Spain, not just for her music but for her compelling personal story. As she continues to navigate the complexities of fame, her journey encompasses moments of triumph, love, and personal challenges that resonate deeply with her fans.
Guerra, whose full name is Ana Alicia Guerra Morales, finished fifth in the popular singing competition, which marked her entry into the music industry. While Amaia Romero took the crown that year, Guerra's performance, particularly her participation in the Eurovision selection, set her on a path to stardom. She showcased two songs: 'El remedio', which she performed solo, and 'Lo malo', a duet with fellow contestant Aitana. The latter became a massive sales phenomenon, further catapulting Guerra into the limelight.
Following her stint on 'Operación Triunfo', Ana Guerra focused on her solo career, scoring significant hits such as 'Ni la hora', a collaboration with Juan Magán that topped the sales charts and achieved multiple platinum records. With albums like 'La luz del martes' and her latest release, 'Sin final', Guerra has firmly established her presence in the music scene.
Beyond her professional achievements, Ana Guerra's personal life has also captured public interest, particularly her romantic relationship with Víctor Elías, known for his role as 'Guille' in the TV series 'Los Serrano'. Their love story, which initially began with professional tensions, blossomed into a deep connection. Ana shared on the podcast 'Animales humanos' that their first collaborations were fraught with misunderstandings. "We started working together and got along terribly. He had his own timing, and I wanted him to get involved in my project sooner," she recalled. However, a dinner meeting during the preparation for Gala Dial 2021 changed everything, leading to their public announcement of the relationship on February 14, 2022. By October 2023, they were engaged, and they tied the knot on October 31, 2024, in a private ceremony in Madrid.
While her career has flourished, Ana Guerra has also faced significant personal challenges. In her autobiographical book, 'Con una sonrisa', she recounts the emotional turmoil of her mother's stroke when Guerra was just 15. Her mother was hospitalized for three months, forcing Guerra to balance her school life with hospital visits. "I spent my days waiting for the phone call and thinking about my mother," she shared, highlighting the resilience she developed during this challenging time.
In addition to her musical endeavors and personal life, Ana Guerra has continued to engage with her fans through various media appearances. On May 1, 2025, she appeared on the popular show 'El Hormiguero' alongside fellow guests Flo and Esperansa Grasia. During the show, Guerra recounted a surreal experience where she entered a trance while getting her makeup done, describing it as a form of sleep paralysis. This moment added a playful twist to her public persona, showcasing her ability to connect with audiences through humor and vulnerability.
Recently, Ana Guerra and her fellow singer Leire Martínez experienced an unexpected adventure due to a massive power outage on April 28, 2025, which affected train services across Spain. Their Iryo train, heading to Barcelona, became stranded near the small town of Salillas de Jalón, where residents quickly sprang into action. Despite being stranded for nine hours, the local community provided food and water for the 440 passengers, including celebrities like Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada and actress Macarena Gómez. Ana Guerra took to social media to express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you to the entire town of Salillas de Jalón for raiding your homes and businesses to bring us supplies for 440 people. We were more in the train than there were inhabitants in the town, which has 359 residents, and you still managed to keep us hydrated and fed."
As she continues to build her career and personal life, Ana Guerra remains a figure of inspiration for many. Her ability to overcome adversity, coupled with her dedication to her craft, has solidified her status as a beloved artist in Spain. With each new project and personal milestone, Guerra's journey is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of community.
Looking ahead, fans are eager to see what the future holds for Ana Guerra. With her talent and determination, she is sure to continue making waves in the music industry while sharing her heartfelt experiences with the world.
