Pablo Chiapella shares how he met his wife on the set of 'La que se avecina'. Pablo Chiapella has spoken in detail for the first time about meeting his wife, Natalia Puente, while filming 'La que se avecina.' The actor also shared how his life changed after the birth of his daughter.
Pablo Chiapella is best known for playing Amador Rivas in the Spanish television series La que se avecina. On El Hormiguero, he spoke about meeting Natalia Puente while working on the show. Puente worked in the costume department, and their first encounters took place in the dressing room as she selected clothes for his character.
Chiapella said he used jokes to get past his embarrassment, and later described the start of their relationship as material for a comedy script. In an interview on Déjate Querer, he also spoke about their life together and the arrival of their daughter, Valentina, saying parenthood brought the family closer.
Valentina drew public attention during the pandemic after unexpectedly appearing at a virtual press conference for La que se avecina. The incident spread widely on Spanish social media. Chiapella has tried to limit his family’s exposure; he has said he does not let his daughter watch the series, partly to shield her from scenes involving his character’s intimate life.
Before becoming an actor, Chiapella studied Physical Education. He met comedian and actor Ernesto Sevilla during their school years, and the two became close friends after Sevilla’s disciplinary troubles brought them together outside class. Their friendship later grew into a broader creative connection in Spanish comedy.
Chiapella’s role as Amador Rivas remains his best-known television association, while his family life has largely stayed out of the public spotlight. The contrast between a widely recognized comic character and a deliberately private home life has made these personal details a point of interest for audiences.
