Early Life

Yanina Arruza was born on March 24, 1969, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Alfredo Enrique Arruza, a bank employee and nephew of former Argentine president Pedro Eugenio Aramburu, and Dora Paulina Caamaño, a descendant of Galician immigrants. Her ethnicity is Argentine with Spanish-Galician roots, and she’s proud of her Buenos Aires heritage.

Her religion isn’t publicly known. She grew up in the Belgrano neighbourhood with her younger sister, Maite, born in 1971. Her father struggled with alcoholism, which Yanina later discussed publicly, crediting her mother’s strength for holding the family together.

As a teen, she attended the Colegio Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, where she developed an interest in media and debate. Her early life in vibrant Buenos Aires shaped her outspoken personality.

Education

Yanina studied at the Colegio Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús in Buenos Aires. She graduated from the University of Belgrano with degrees in public accounting and business administration. Her academic background gave her a practical foundation before she pivoted to entertainment journalism.

Career

Yanina began her career as a public accountant but entered the media in 2011 with a humour column on Cristina en el país de las maravillas on Radio del Plata, at the invitation of a friend, Cristina Pérez. In 2012, she joined Antes que sea tarde on América TV as a panellist. She gained fame in 2013 on Lanata sin filtro, a show hosted by Jorge Lanata on Radio Mitre, where she showcased her gossip expertise.

She appeared on Ponele la firma (2014–2017) and competed on Bailando por un Sueño (2014, 4th eliminated; 2017, 10th eliminated). In 2015, she was a panellist on Gran Hermano 2015: El debate. Her big break came in 2016 as a panellist on Los ángeles de la mañana (LAM) with Ángel de Brito, where her bold style sparked love-hate reactions.

LAM moved to América TV in 2022, and she stayed on. She hosted Polino auténtico (2017–2022) on Radio Mitre and launched #Yanina1079 on El Observador 107.9 in 2023. In 2024, she and her husband, Diego, co-hosted No tienen solución on Bondi streaming.

Yanina debuted her own TV show, Sálvese quien pueda, on América TV in March 2025. She acted in Los Grimaldi (2013) and voiced roles in Florencia Peña’s “Qué actitud” (2020) and El Polaco’s “Tututu tatata” (2023). Yanina’s a proud Argentine whose sharp wit keeps her in the spotlight.
