Alexandra Fuentes Rivera (born January 23, 1978) is a Puerto Rican actress, model, television and radio host. She was the main host of Univision Puerto Rico talk and variety show Anda Pa'l Cara from 2005 to 2009, as well as the host of Telemundo Puerto Rico entertainment show Dando Candela until 2013. She was also the radio host of Fidelity 95.7 FM morning show Gozando en la Mañana, with Raymond Arrieta. She had her own talk show Alexandra De Noche (now Telemundo De Noche) on Telemundo Puerto Rico until she left the show on 2016 to support his spouse, David Bernier, in his campaign for Governor of Puerto Rico.
Alexandra Fuentes was born in the Regional Hospital of Caguas, Puerto Rico, and raised in the Rabanal ward of Cidra. Her parents are Nilda Rivera, a homemaker and seamstress, and Rubén Fuentes, a mechanic. Fuentes has an older sister, Verónica, and two younger siblings, Natalia and Rubén.
From an early age, Fuentes showed interest in acting. When she was 12 years old, she joined the Pitri Group, a local theater troupe founded by Víctor Torres, where she performed as an actress and dancer. In a 2015 interview, Torres praised Fuentes' discipline, which he called "her best weapon to achieve what she has today". He also added that Fuentes was "dynamic, knew what she wanted, was helpful, good friend, and always had that naturality that she still preserves". During those years, she distinguished herself with imitations of Cantinflas and La India María, two popular Mexican characters.
In 1996, Fuentes graduated from Ana J. Candelas High School, where she was president of the Yearbook club. After that, she went to the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras where she studied Labor Relations. She also completed a Master's degree in Business Administration from Universidad del Turabo. During her college years, she continued acting in theater.
