Cata Vallejos is a Chilean model, former TV personality and fitness–lifestyle influencer who has built her career between traditional media and social networks. She began her public activity in 2009 by winning the Miss ATP contest in Viña del Mar, a title that opened the door to events and beauty pageants. However, she became widely known in 2010, when she joined the youth show “Calle 7”, where her physical skills, on-screen charisma and competitive attitude made her stand out and led her to win two seasons together with teammates such as Felipe Camus. From that moment on, the name “Cata Vallejos” became associated with television, sports and healthy living.

After her “Calle 7” years, Cata Vallejos expanded her profile as an actress and youth TV figure with roles in telenovelas like “Témpano” and “Aquí mando yo”, while her social platforms were steadily growing. By mid-2025 she has more than one million followers on Instagram and an active community on TikTok under the handle CatavallejosOK, where she posts workouts, healthy routines, fashion, travel content and her daily life as a “Chilean in BA”, living between Chile and Buenos Aires. At the same time, she has established herself as an entrepreneur in the fitness world with projects such as the Origyn gym —with a presence in Chile and Madrid— and the supplement brand Livin Lab, a venture she has openly discussed, including the financial setbacks she faced with that business.

Her personal life has also been highly exposed in the media, linking her to other well-known figures. She first had a widely discussed relationship with Chilean TV host Karol Lucero, better known as Karol Dance, with whom she was a couple for several years while both worked on television. Later, she was in a long-term relationship with Argentine actor Nacho Di Marco, whom she met through Instagram and with whom she lived abroad for a time; that story has been covered by entertainment media and by Cata herself on social networks. Since early 2024 she has been in a public relationship with Chilean footballer Pablo Galdames, a midfielder playing in the Argentine league, and she currently shares her life with him in Buenos Aires. She has even been asked about Galdames’ ex-partner, singer and influencer Vesta Lugg, illustrating how romantic relationships connect the worlds of sports, music and television.

As a digital figure, Cata Vallejos has also experienced controversy. In 2021 she was strongly criticized for videos where she stated that she did not intend to get vaccinated against covid-19, later posting a reflection about the harsh tone of the attacks she was receiving on social media. In 2025 she again became the focus of debate after a video recorded in an Argentine stadium, where she made a gesture towards Chilean fans while supporting Pablo Galdames from the stands; she later issued a public apology and explained the context. Despite these episodes, she remains active as a content creator, wellness entrepreneur and functional training reference, positioned between the nostalgic memory of “Calle 7” and the new generation of healthy-lifestyle influencers.
