Anita Espasandin, long recognized as the partner of actor Benjamín Vicuña, has stepped into the spotlight to share her personal story for the first time. In an exclusive interview with ¡HOLA! Argentina, Espasandin, 42, addressed the challenges of balancing public attention with her private life, stating, "It's difficult to find the balance. If I appear in photos, they might think I'm out of line, and if I don't, that I think I'm a star. It's good to have this opportunity to tell who I am myself."

Originally from Villa Devoto, Espasandin pursued a career in finance, earning a master's degree in the field. She described her upbringing in a close-knit family with strong values, influenced by her parents. The passing of her father 17 years ago deeply impacted the family, but her mother's strength and grace became a guiding force. Espasandin hopes to embody similar qualities for her own children one day.

I was born and raised in Devoto, in a very close-knit family, with very nice values, where we are five siblings, all very different: there is an architect, a physical education teacher, a nutritionist, a marketing expert, a fashion designer, and me, who am a Business Administrator and did a Master's in Finance.

Recently, Espasandin pivoted from her finance career to entrepreneurship in the wellness industry. Inspired by holistic wellness centers she encountered during a period living in Spain, she collaborated with her sisters to launch Espacio RAS in Palermo. This center offers integrated wellness services, including nutrition, aesthetics, and holistic medicine, emphasizing a conscious approach to well-being. "There are many little things that, if you connect them, help," she explained about the center's philosophy.
