Coming from an adventurous family, Blanca has spent a long time on the road as a child“My parents are rock climbers and I always asked them why we weren’t like other kids and went to the beach instead, until they finally agreed to do it half and half.
I remember with special warmth the picnics in incredible places after walking all day, hunting tadpoles by the lake and the stories I asked my mother to tell as we walked.’
As a child, Blanca played in several children’s plays at the Triton Theater. She has an older brother named Pedro Martinez Suarez.

Blanca chose to use her mother’s maiden name as an artistic name.

The show ended in 2010, while appearing in several movies at the same time, such as “Shiver”, “The Consul of Sodom”, “Neon Flesh” and the short “Hemisphere”.

In 2011, Blanca got one of the most important and award-winning roles of her career in the movie “The Skin I Live In”, directed by Pedro Almodovar. The story revolves around Dr. Robert Ledgard, whose tragic past drives his obsession to create skin that can withstand any kind of damage. Starring Antonio Banderas and Elena Anaya, Blanca received a nomination at the critically acclaimed Goya Awards as “Best New Actress” for this film.
She was then cast in the series “The Boat” – originally titled “El Bote”.
The events in this drama series take place when an accident in Switzerland causes disaster.

Fashion model
Blanca’s beauty has led her to collaborate as a model with several brands such as Angel Schlesser, Samsung, Jaguar, Guerlain, Adidas and Royal Bliss. However, she spoke to a Spanish magazine El Pais in 2014 about her career as a model: ‘I care about looks. In this profession it is important, but it does not fascinate me. I’m not Gisele Bündchen and my ass is out of shape. I do these collaborations because my appearance is useful… But I am aware that I am not a model’.
Private life
Relationships
From 2008 to 2010, Blanca was in a romantic relationship with Javier Pereira, actor in “Stockholm”. The following year, she began dating the main character “Velvet”, actor Miguel Angel Silvestre.
The couple had been together for three years, until rumors of a divorce surfaced when they separately attended the 2014 Goya Awards, which was confirmed when they announced their breakup the following week. It was speculated that Blanca left Silvestre to date singer Dani Martin, who had also broken up with his girlfriend at the time, and these rumors were confirmed when Martin and Suarez started dating in February 2014, albeit for a short time.
In 2015, Blanca fell in love with Joel Bosqued again, but the relationship ended in 2017 – in 2020, Bosqued announced his engagement to Selene Ramal, but he spoke briefly about Suarez in an interview: “We have the same agent. I know about her because I see her everywhere’.
In March 2018, she began a new relationship with Mario Casas, whom she described as her “icon.” The couple, who had been friends for years until they decided to date, ended their romance in October 2019 after nearly two years together.
In 2020, Suarez found love again, when she was spotted kissing the actor Javier Rey, with whom she collaborated in the movie “El Verano que Vivimos”.
polemic
In 2017, Blanca stated: ‘I absolutely agree that it (feminism) is a trend, now we’re even making t-shirts about it. I think it’s good that it has gathered strength, because it’s always welcome to solve things that haven’t been solved.”
She also told El Mundo about the role of feminism in “Cable Girls”: ‘Feminism can be considered as another character of the series’ (…) ‘I don’t think the series was conceived with that feminism motto.
