It couldn’t be clearer: “It’s not AI.” With these strong words, so that no one thinks that the image in which she appears posing on a sofa in a tight white nightgown is not real, Úrsula Corberó announced on September 9 that at the age of 36 — in fact, she had turned 36 a month ago, on August 11 —, She would soon become a mother for the first time.
Her almost 20 million followers were stunned to learn that the performer, whom many of them met in 2008, at the start of the series, Physics or Chemistrywas pregnant, and they made it clear in the comments. Thus, big names such as Penélope Cruz, Andrea Duro, Loles León, Susana Abaitua, Eduardo Casanova, Silvia Pérez Cruz and Michelle Jenner congratulated him among another multitude of celebrities and subscribers which, moreover, They mentioned the other story that the interpreter had tagged in the photo: that of Chino Darín.
And the fact is that the actor and son of the famous Ricardo Darín and his wife since 1988, Florencia Bas, born 36 years ago – although in his case, in San Nicolás de Los Arroyos, Argentina -, was the better half of the Madrilenian for almost a decade, when they met, and began one of the love stories which, in turn, could not live its first moments. but in the most classic way in the world of cinema: on set.
Ursula and Chino – real name Ricardo Mario Darín – agree on what that first meeting was, even if Corberó is the one who, in 2024, confessed to Susana Giménez what was the phrase he said to the actor to introduce himself and that, in a way, it was already prophetic in 2016. “The first time we saw each other, I was doing costume fittings for The embassy (the series that brought them together). This is what we do, we actors, we change ourselves without knowing ourselves. Suddenly he comes, I had never seen him before and I said to him ‘Hello, I’m your girlfriend’, because I had to act like his partner,” the actress explained.
However, little did she know that Darín was completely captivated. “The truth is, I don’t know if it happened. But if it happened, he hid it very well,” he joked. And this same 2025, in fact, it is the actor himself who, speaking with Cayetana Guillén Cuervo for Spanish versionstated that as soon as Ursula entered his life, he discovered that she had something inseparable from his way of being: “His spark, his energy, his joy and this gift of resurrecting the dead.”
But that doesn’t stop them from hiding it very well at first. Moreover, if it was revealed, it was not because they decided to make it public, but because some photographs were leaked in which they appeared in a complicit attitude and, since there were already rumors and in June 2016 practically all the Spanish and Argentinian media took love for granted, in September itself they made their first joint appearance on the red carpet in one of the emblematic places of cinema in our country: at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
Then they posed several times at various festivals, premieres, events and photo shootsbut we must not forget that at the beginning the main problem they had was the distance. Chino Darín lived in Argentina and Úrsula Corberó had no intention of leaving Spain. But they eventually found a solution by constantly traveling from one side of the Atlantic to the other. “I arrived in Spain thinking, ‘Well, it’s only been six months.’ But of course I met Ursula and everything changed.” the actor summed up The nation in 2021.
Since then, although they have preferred to keep a more or less discreet profile, knowing that Ursula has always been one of the Spanish women with the greatest number of followers on the networks. Of course, unlike the beginning of their love, over time they have not hesitated to throw flowers and compliments in many interviews. “I would have fallen in love with Chino even if he was ugly. But because he is very intelligent and has an irresistible sense of humor. A gentleman. The truth is that I have been very lucky in life,” the interpreter told him, for example. The newspaper.
For his part, the son of Ricardo Darín explained that Ursula “taught him a lot about pickaxe and shovel, because she is an incredible worker, a woman many would be surprised to see the amount of work, effort and dedication she puts into each and every project she completes.” And not only that, but they even took advantage of the awards galas to shout their love from the rooftops.
He, for example, during the Platino Awards 2022, did not hesitate to affirm that what he loves most in Spain is his wife – although it is true that, despite the insistence of the press, for the moment both have made it clear that they do not see themselves getting married. Corberó, upon receiving an Ondas Prize in 2023, said: “I feel very lucky to have a relationship based on communication. Chino taught me to express my needs, to set limits in my life. “It is very difficult to be respectful to others without being respectful to yourself.”
Now they are preparing for a new stage of their lives which, without a doubt, will not be that of artificial intelligence, given that both had already declared that sThey saw themselves embarking on the adventure of having a child —Darín even hinted that in the future they might adopt because it’s another form of parenting – together as soon as possible. And it will soon be a new start in 2026.
