Andrea Navedo is an American actress who is best known for her role in the CW drama series Jane the Virgin which premiered in 2014 to critical acclaim. Here is more about her career and personal life.
Andrea Navedo Bio, Age, Ethnicity/Parents
Andrea Navedo was born on October 10, 1977, in the Bronx, New York to Puerto Rican parents, making her ethnicity Puerto Rican. However, Andrea has admitted to having been Americanized. Andrea was raised by a single mother, a fact which she says helped her relate to her character on Jane the Virgin.
Navedo didn’t grow up speaking Spanish, however, as she grew to become a teenager, she developed an interest in the language and learned it herself. Speaking to Parents Latina Magazine in 2015 about her decision to learn Spanish, she said;
“I started studying the language about 15 years ago. My parents wanted to assimilate, so while they spoke Spanish, they were very American and were more comfortable speaking English to me. When I was 11, my parents sent me to Puerto Rico for a month. My grandmother spoke English, but the rest of the family didn’t, and I felt so much shame for not speaking Spanish. I felt like, ‘Who am I?’ So I learned Spanish to reclaim my identity.”
As a child, Andrea nurtured the dreams of becoming an actress. However, she revealed in the same interview with Parents Latina that she didn’t think it was possible as she saw only few Latina actors on the screen.
“Growing up, I didn’t think it would be possible to be an actress. Honestly, I didn’t see a lot of Latina faces on TV or in movies,” the actress said. “But that didn’t stop me from trying. I realized early that anything I really wanted was worth working for.”
