Paula Echevarría is making her highly anticipated return to television after five years of focusing on family and personal growth. The actress, who gained fame through her roles in successful Spanish series, will be featured in the upcoming drama series Arcadia, alongside William Levy and Michelle Renaud, which is set to premiere in 2025. Echevarría recently expressed her excitement for re-entering the acting scene during her appearance on the popular show El Hormiguero.
During the show, she shared insights about her time away, detailing the importance of family and other professional endeavors, including fashion and her active presence on social media. "Controlar un poco el pico," she stated, discussing her approach to fitness and diet during her return to work. Having taken this break to prioritize her personal life, Echevarría is now ready to embrace acting once again.
Beyond her professional life, Paula is also celebrated for her family. She has two children: Daniella, 16, from her marriage with singer David Bustamante, and her youngest son, Miki Torres, who was born on April 11, 2021, with her current partner, former professional footballer Miguel Torres. Echevarría shared her feelings on social media, stating, "Sois mi obra de arte. ¡Os quiero que exploto!", reflecting her deep affection for her children.
The relationship with David Bustamante, whom she divorced amicably after more than a decade together, showcases her commitment to co-parenting. "No recuerdo ese momento, creo que no. Es un dato falso," Echevarría clarified on air, when asked about Buzz surrounding if Bustamante had contacted her during her second son's birth. Their continual communication—often as much as 20 times daily—ensures they effectively co-parent Daniella.
Paula finds joy and stability with Miguel Torres, who has been supportive throughout her career and personal endeavor. "Miguel y yo tenemos una relación maravillosa y seria," she remarked, noting their bond has strengthened with parenthood. Although many speculate about marriage following the birth of their son, both Echevarría and Torres have expressed they do not feel haste to tie the knot. “A este paso no hay boda, yo creo que vamos a tener que dejar de insistir,” Torres joked, indicating their current satisfaction with their relationship without the formal institutions.
The pair, who initially met during the filming of one of Bustamante's music videos, found solace and connection during their separate life changes following their divorces. Having built their love patiently and earnestly, they've become a close-knit family unit. Continual support from both partners and the joyful moments spent together are apparent as Paula shares their adventures on social media.
While her acting career is on the brink of revival, Paula's dedication to her personal life remains steadfast. Her upcoming series offers tantalizing themes of redemption, forgiveness, and personal growth under the banner of the tagline, "Escapar del pasado es fácil, pero escapar de uno mismo es imposible". This fresh chapter, both professionally and personally, promises to captivate audiences anew and reminds us all of the transformative power of love, growth, and second chances.
Viewers and fans alike are excited about Echevarría's return to the screen, eager to see how her experiences and rich personal narrative play out on screen. Shifting from her past roles, this new project will undoubtedly reflect her evolution as both a mother and actress, intertwining her complex life journeys with the artistic expression she so passionately loves.
