Florez is now set to become a worldwide name after her boyfriend, Javier Milei, was elected as the next President of Argentina. Fatima Florez, born María Eugenia Florez, is an Argentine actress, comedian, and impersonator. She is known for her impersonations of former Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner on Periodismo para todos, an Argentine investigative journalism TV program. The broadcast translates to “journalism for everybody.” Florez has won two Martín Fierro Awards, the most prominent awards for Argentine radio and television, in 2013 and 2015.
Florez was born and raised in Olivos, a neighborhood in the Buenos Aires province, in 1981. In school, she played hockey, did impressions of her teachers, and took acting, dancing, and singing classes. In 2000, she joined the musical group Las Primas. In 2001, at the age of 20, she married the group’s producer, Norberto Marcos, who was more than 20 years her senior. Despite their age gap, the duo were married for over two decades. Marcos was the one who gave her the stage name, Fatima, based on Our Lady of Fatima, a Catholic title of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In a 2023 interview with Telefe, he said: “I was the only one who believed in [Florez]. Not even she believed in her and we didn’t have a cent.”
