Early Life & Education

Bárbara de Regil, full name Claudia Bárbara de Regil Alfaro, was born on June 5, 1987, in Mexico City, Mexico.

Her early years were shaped by significant challenges, including her parents’ divorce around age 11 and a high-risk teenage pregnancy that led to the birth of her daughter, Mar de Regil, in 2004, when she was just 16.

The child’s father abandoned them shortly before or after the birth, and her own father, Guillermo Alejandro de Regil Camet, reportedly cut off financial support, leaving her to navigate independence while raising her child with help from her mother, Gabriela Alfaro.

She is of Mexican nationality with Lebanese descent on her paternal side and was raised in a Jewish family tradition. However, she has spoken publicly about drawing spiritual strength from meditation and personal wellness practices in adulthood.

Sources vary on siblings, with some indicating she is an only child and others referencing possible sisters named Mika de Regil and Michelle de Regil. Still, she is confirmed as the cousin of Mexican TV host Marco Antonio Regil.

For education, she pursued studies in psychology and photography, balancing them with part-time work during her young motherhood, before later training in acting at the Centro de Formación de Actores para la Televisión, where her passion for performance truly emerged.

Career

Bárbara de Regil began her acting career in 2011 with a guest appearance in the telenovela Bajo el alma, followed by minor roles in productions such as Amor cautivo (2012) and other television projects.

Although she initially considered pursuing music, she ultimately committed to acting as her primary path. Her breakthrough came in 2016 when she was cast in the title role of Rosario Tijeras, the Mexican adaptation of the action-thriller series produced by TV Azteca and Sony Pictures Television.

Running until 2019, the series brought her widespread recognition across Latin America for her portrayal of a challenging, resilient anti-heroine.

Building on that success, de Regil went on to lead additional television productions, including the romantic comedy Parientes a la fuerza (2021–2022) on Telemundo and the drama Cabo (2022–2023). Her film work began earlier with a supporting role in the comedy Tiempos Felices (2014), for which she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

She later expanded into international projects, starring in the action thriller Blackout (2022), alongside Josh Duhamel and Omar Chaparro, as well as the zombie comedy MexZombies (2022) and the fantasy-romantic comedy Quiero tu vida (2023).

More recent screen credits include El Hana Elly Ana Feeh (2024), the gender-swap remake series LaLola (2024), and the upcoming series One Last Sin (2025).

Alongside her acting career, de Regil has developed a highly visible presence as a fitness entrepreneur and influencer. She built a large following through viral workout challenges, including her popular 15-day programs, and launched the plant-based protein brand Loving It.

Her wellness ventures operate under the BDROOT umbrella, encompassing fitness apps, training kits, and nutrition content focused on healthy living.

In 2023, she further demonstrated her range by winning the Mexican reality competition ¿Quién es la máscara?.
