About Yuyito González

Born 1960. Yuyito González is an Argentine writer, actor, journalist, model and television presenter.

Amalia Josefina Trombetta (born 8 March 1960), better known as Yuyito González or simply Yuyito, is an Argentine actress, journalist, writer, former model and showgirl who was very successful in the 1980s.

Biography Born in 1960 in the Caballito neighborhood, she came from a middle-class home. She dropped out of school at age 16 without completing her studies. In 1982, she met Pepe Parada and Gerardo Sofovich at a restaurant, who facilitated her entry into Argentine show business. Her nickname Yuyito, with which she achieved numerous successes, was attributed to her role as a sexy gardener that she played on television in the program Don Mateo's Barbershop.

In 1995, she unwittingly inspired the salsa song "Talento de televisión" by musician Willie Colón and Venezuelan composer Amílcar Boscán. Her poor performance in Caribbean dance was the trigger that inspired the salsa hit, along with other limitations that were captured in the lyrics.

Since 2023, she has hosted a magazine show on a subscription television channel in Argentina.

Personal life She was linked to 1980s heartthrob Adrián Martel. She was also connected to then-Argentine president Carlos Menem.

She was in a relationship with Guillermo Coppola, with whom she had her first daughter, Bárbara Coppola (b. 1987), who became an architect. She was married until 2000 to César Di Aloy, her trainer, with whom she had twins Stefano and Brenda Di Aloy.

In 2005, at age 45, after a major personal crisis, she adopted the evangelical faith and left show business as an actress and showgirl. Decades later, after studying journalism at Universidad del Salvador, she began her career in journalism and television hosting.

From mid-2024 to April 2025, she was romantically linked to Argentine president Javier Milei.
