Alejandra Rubio has considered studying journalism after her father, Alejandro Rubio, suggested it. The daughter of television personality Terelu Campos has worked in Spanish television and presented herself publicly as an actress and writer. In an interview with 101tv.es, she said her father suggested trying journalism after her acting studies. His advice prompted her to think seriously about enrolling in a journalism programme for the first time, although she had never previously considered that path.
Her father's advice and response
Rubio's plans have unfolded alongside major changes in her family life. She and Carlo Costanzia welcomed their first child, Carlo, on 5 December 2024, and their daughter Tessa was born in late August 2026. With two young children, attending an in-person course would bring practical demands as well as attendance requirements. Rubio has described adjusting to life with two children as difficult. She sleeps little and eats when she can, and has called the house chaotic.
In March, after announcing another pregnancy, Rubio said on Telecinco's Vamos a ver that she was temporarily stepping away from television amid ongoing criticism. “It is the best decision I can make right now. I don’t want to be here anymore,” she said. Her break left future professional plans open: she has said she is willing to consider journalism studies later.
Public reaction and new challenges
The possibility of a career change has drawn discussion in Spanish media and on social networks. Rubio has faced public scrutiny over her television work and qualifications. In a later statement about her acting training, she pointed to dance and fencing, saying some people continued to claim she had not studied acting. That debate adds context to the idea of studying journalism, but her remarks about her father's suggestion describe an option she has considered, not a confirmed enrolment.
Rubio has also built a profile as a writer. Her novel Si decido arriesgarme was presented at the Madrid Book Fair in late May, and reader signings became part of her public activities. Divinity reported that the book's reception encouraged her to work on another project, which she hinted at on social media.
Education and change
Rubio's educational path has included interests in fashion design and law before she chose acting and enrolled at the Juan Codina school, where she met Costanzia. She has also defended the reality of her acting training amid criticism. Her father's suggestion to try journalism came after she had pursued other areas of study and work, not as an established career change.
Since Tessa's birth, Rubio has spoken publicly about focusing on family life. At a Madrid event marking the fifth anniversary of Tablao La Carmela, she and Costanzia made their first public outing together after the birth. Rubio said the children were doing well and described it as their first time apart from them for an event of that kind. “Right now I’m very calm, taking care of my children. I’m very lucky,” she said. Journalism remains a path she has considered, while her immediate priorities include caring for her family and continuing her writing.
