Who are Álvaro Rico’s Parents?

Alvaro Rico Ladera was born in Montalbán Town in Spain on August 13, 1996, to hard-working parents who owned a pastry shop. His father worked in a shoe factory, while his mother overlocked gauze for hospitals, both from the comfort of their home.

However, when the 2008 crisis hit Spain, their family business suffered, prompting them to venture into other companies, such as a nightclub, a cocktail bar, and a pastry shop, which remains their primary source of income to this day.

Despite his parents’ lack of interest in the entertainment industry, Rico grew up with a passion for the arts, thanks to his parents’ encouragement to develop values, curiosities, and socialization. He was never forced to pursue acting, but he became enamored with the idea after studying at Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático (RESAD) in Madrid at the age of 17.

Álvaro’s parents did not initially support his decision to become an actor, believing it was just a hobby. However, his passion for acting grew, and he pursued it relentlessly, eventually landing him roles in various Spanish television series and films.
