Angélica Rivera Hurtado (pronounced: [aŋˈxelika riˈβeɾa uɾˈtaðo]; born 2 August 1969) is a Mexican singer, model and telenovela actress. As the wife of Enrique Peña Nieto, President of Mexico, she is the First Lady of Mexico.
Rivera's work as an actress has included Alcanzar una estrella II (1991), La Dueña (1995), Ángela (1998), Sin Pecado Concebido (2001), Mariana de la Noche (2003) and Tequila De Maguey (2007), as well as the soap opera Destilando Amor(2007), responsible for her current nickname "La Gaviota". As a singer she was a member of the short-live fictional teen group Muñecos de Papel.
Rivera was born in the neighbourhood of Azcaptozalco, Mexico City and has five sisters and a brother. When actress Verónica Castro was filming near where Rivera lived as a young woman, Castro and Rivera met and Castro suggested that she compete in The Face of the Herald, a contest Rivera won in 1987.
Rivera’s career began at the age of 17, when she won The Face of the Herald contest. She was a model in the video Ahora Te Puedes Marchar with Luis Miguel. She then filmed two TV/radio commercials, one for the United States and other for Japan, followed by the TNT video program hosted by Martha Aguayo.
In 1989, Rivera received the opportunity to play a small part in the soap opera Dulce Desafío. This part was followed by many others on shows such as Simplemente Maria, Mi Pequeña Soledad and La Picara Soñadora. In 1991 Rivera was selected to play the scheming and opportunistic Silvana in Alcanzar una estrella II. In 2003 she played a villain Marcia in the soap opera Mariana de la Noche, produced by Salvador Mejía.
