RoRo Bueno is a name on everyone’s lips these days. Whether she’s whipping up a fancy meal or sparking debate for her ‘tradwife’ content, this influencer always captures attention online. Her star recently shined even brighter after she stepped into the boxing ring for ‘La Velada del Año.’
The 23-year-old Spanish sensation fought fellow influencer Abby at the event, which was put on by streamer Ibai Llanos. RoRo lost the match, but many fans cheered her on. She later explained she had suffered an injury in the very first round.
With her sweet voice and a smile that wouldn’t hurt a fly, RoRo constantly wows her TikTok followers with her dishes. Most of these culinary creations are made especially for her boyfriend, Pablo Santos. They’ve been in a romantic relationship for several years now.
But there’s much more to RoRo than just elaborate recipes and a love for cooking from scratch. This influencer holds many fascinating details and personal stories you might not know. Let’s dig into some of these surprising facts about her life, both personal and as a TikTok star.

More Than Just a Chef
You might think RoRo spent her life in chef school, but that’s not the case. She actually studied Translation and Interpretation at the Pontifical University of Comillas. Fun fact: that’s where she first met Pablo. She’s also surprisingly crafty. In her videos, she’s shown off her skills, revealing she sews some of her own clothes. It’s clear she really knows her way around tailoring.
Before becoming famous for her recipes, RoRo actually started as a fitness influencer. She used to upload videos about exercise. But then everything changed. Pablo suggested she try recording cooking videos. One day, she posted a duck à l’orange ragù. That video blew up and now has an amazing 84 million views.
Her TikTok numbers are seriously impressive. She has 9.6 million followers. Her engagement rate is over 35%, which means her videos get about 2.9 million interactions on average. Just this past May 2025, a video of her making a bottle-shaped cake racked up over 61 million views.
From Online Star to Published Author and TV Personality
This year, RoRo also published her first cookbook, titled ‘Today RoRo Felt Like It.’ It came out through Penguin Random House publishing house. The book mixes recipes with personal stories. It truly highlights cooking as a special way to show affection.

RoRo’s fame has also landed her on television. She recently took part in ‘Next Level Chef,’ a reality show on Telecinco. Though she didn’t win, she truly shined. She was noted for her amazing creativity and for bravely showing up weekly to face the judges. Her widespread content has also led to big brand deals. She’s partnered with companies like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Vichy. She seamlessly integrates their products into her popular videos.
Behind the Scenes and Public Opinion
Despite her spontaneous feel, RoRo has admitted that many of her videos are actually scripted or very carefully edited. And while she acknowledges her sweet voice is part of her online personality, she insists it’s her genuine voice, not an act.
However, not all her content is met with universal praise. Some videos, especially those where she says things like, “Pablo felt like it…” have drawn criticism. They’ve been linked to the ‘tradwife’ movement, which suggests traditional female roles.
RoRo has addressed these comments head-on multiple times. She clearly states she does consider herself a feminist. But she’s quick to clarify she doesn’t align with radical movements that label her a “slave.” She emphasizes that she cooks purely out of passion, not obligation. Plus, she adds, Pablo always helps her clean the kitchen.
On a more personal note, RoRo’s childhood had its challenges. Because of her parents’ jobs, she moved schools many times. She’s shared in interviews that she attended 12 different schools. This made it hard for her to fit in socially and led to her experiencing school bullying. But RoRo sees the bright side. She believes that difficult experience ultimately helped her grow into a stronger, more independent person.
