Early life

[edit | edit source]

Brito was born on 21 July 1986 in Ciego de Ávila Province, Cuba. She is the daughter of actor Rolando Brito Rodríguez and Gertrudis Pestana. Her family immigrated to Mexico in 2000, when she was between 13 and 14 years old. A year after settling in Mexico City, her father opened a restaurant called La Cubana, which offered traditional Cuban dishes. Brito worked as a waitress at the family restaurant, and later as a model, to help pay for her studies in business administration.[1]

Brito represented Mexico in the 2009 edition of the Reina Mundial del Banano, finishing as first runner-up and was awarded Miss Photogenic.[2] She later enrolled in Televisa's Centro de Educación Artística (CEA). Brito comes from an artistic family, as her father was an actor in Cuba, and her mother was a ballet dancer.[citation needed]
