Yotuel, her boyfriend in ‘One Step Forward’ and her now husband
A step forward It was the series that catapulted Beatriz Luengo and also where she found love. On the set of filming she began her relationship with her partner, the Cuban singer and dancer. Yotuel Romero.
“I met him when I was 18 when I still didn’t know if I wanted a piercing or some Californian highlights, and I already knew that I loved him unconditionally. EIt was a mix of hormones, intuition, ants in my stomach and my pillow that told me I wasn’t wrong. Everyone around thought the opposite (…) When I came into his life, he had sailed thousands of ports (he was 30 years old) and I, on the other hand, had barely finished painting my boat. He was incredibly sure of himself, I was afraid to even exist (…) I think my greatest luck was to give myself like this to someone so wonderful, who did not take advantage of my surrender to make me small, but rather grabbed my heart with open palms and massaged it until it relaxed, in a process of muscle rehabilitation. “His hugs were balm with ibuprofen properties,” the actress and singer wrote about her current husband on Instagram.
“He was incredibly sure of himself, I was afraid to even exist (…) I think my greatest luck was to give myself up to someone so wonderful, who did not take advantage of my dedication to make me small”

“[La primera boda] It was a lot of fun, we got married with a priest dressed as Elvis and in Britney’s chapel. When we left, we ended up in a strip club, which was the only thing that was open,” the artist said about this link in which Pau Donés was present, with whom they ended up singing. The skinny girl.

“It was PERFECT even though my hairdresser couldn’t make her flight from Miami and I had to marry the braids from my last photo shoot, despite the fact that Elvis’s sideburns were coming off and the natural flowers he brought were poached. Despite my nerves because once again we were getting married improvised and the last time I promised that I would organize everything better,” he added about the setbacks of the ceremony.
This time the wedding was attended by The Hungarian, who sang to the couple: “It was the best of gifts and before going to sleep We dedicate a few words to our beloved Pau DonéI know he was at our first wedding and looking at the sky I remembered that Living is urgent. Thank you, Las Vegas, once again for giving me all this madness. Thank you to my friends for crying and laughing with us 🌹.”

A life of fighting prejudice
Despite the many successes achieved in her career, Beatriz Luengo has not had an easy path.
“I always say ‘I am the one who best transforms the no’. I have a wonderful backpack full of ‘no’s. They told me that if she was an actress, she couldn’t be a singer. That if she was a composer, she couldn’t dance. And I refused to go out alone with a guitar. I said ‘no, gentlemen, I compose the beats and dance’. Then they told me that the world of books was difficult for people like me and The awakening of the muses “It’s already in its 16th edition… And I’ll be launching a new book soon!” he said in an interview in The world on the occasion of the nomination of Homeland and Life to the Latin Grammy for Best Long Version Music Video.

“Remember where I come from: from TV, from One Step Forward. I have had to fight against all prejudices and thinking about that excites me,” he reflected in the same interview.
