Rocío Marengo (born March 25, 1980) is an Argentine model, actress, vedette, comedian and dancer.
Early life and career
Marengo’s early television experience includes co-hosting Mar de Fondo with Alejandro Fantino on TyC Sports.
She participated as a showgirl in Moria Casán journals, which took her to Chile in 2004. Channel 13 in Chile offered her work as a model on the Mucho Lucho program. She left the show to get married and live in a hotel for a few months.
The Argentine press frequently covers Marengo’s love life, contributing to her high profile. Reported relationships with TV host Alejandro “Marley” Wiebe and the son of Argentine star Graciela Alfano have been reported on and made headlines with her alleged affair with football star Mauricio Pinilla. Other relationships have been regular press fodder in Argentina.
Television and other appearances
In 2006, she participated in the reality TV show Expedition Robinson, the island VIP, which was filmed on a beach in the Dominican Republic. She finished in fourth place. Later, she participated in the Locos por el baile program.
In 2007, she appeared on season four of Bailando por un Sueño, a dance competition portion of the television program Showmatch, hosted by Marcelo Tinelli. She danced to “El Baile del Koala” in a routine that involved a woman breaking a man’s pelvis, making moves on his waist, and mimicking sexual intercourse. Marengo was eliminated from the contest during the Rumba Flamenca and Quartet week.
In February 2008, she participated in the program with the satellite Viña festival, National Television of Chile. In August of that year, she began skating for A Dream and was the runner-up. She also participated in the works of Gerardo Sofovich.
In 2009, she acted in a play in which her character quickly became a success. That same year, she co-led Sunday Night with Gerardo Sofovich. On Wednesday, 15 July, the same year as the program Dance Fever, the Chilean TV channel Chilevision invited her to replace Marlen Olivari.
In 2011, Marengo returned to Bailando por un Sueño (season eight) but was eliminated in the first week of competition.
