Who Is Pilar Rubio?
Pilar Rubio is a 43-year-old presenter and model, and the wife of Paris Saint Germain defender Sergio Ramos. Rubio also has dabbled in acting, appearing in adverts in Spain.
The celebrity couple are something comparable to Spain’s Posh and Becks. Ramos is a decorated footballer, an iconic figure in the national team’s success.
Rubio has a public image and fame in her own right, developing a career through several different avenues prior to the start of her relationship with the former Real Madrid defender.
Pilar Rubio Net Worth
Estimations of Pilar Rubio net worth vary significantly. One thing we can be sure of, though, is that the presenter isn’t short on cash. Some websites project Rubio to have a net worth of $60 million, which works out at around £45 million.
Spending over two decades in show business tends to lead to a considerable net worth figure. Pilar Rubio is no exception. Pair that with Ramos’ career earnings, and you’ve got an incredibly wealthy couple.
Rubio is likely to have landed some hefty payments from her endorsement work. In the form of television adverts, sponsored social posts and other marketing opportunities, Rubio has worked with several multi-national companies.
This is likely to have given a significant boost to Pilar Rubio net worth.
Career
Initially studying economics, Pilar Rubio never finished her degree. Instead, acting proved her true calling. Alongside modelling in several men’s magazines, Rubio appeared in a couple of films (Isi & Disi, alto voltaje and Carlitos y el campo de los sueños).
As Rubio built a reputation, further roles popped up in short films, providing the opportunity to work with actors like Arturo Valls and Cristina Peña.
Rubio featured in advertisements for some huge companies, including Canal+ and Amstel. Additional television work flooded in, such as La azotea de Wyoming and Lo que necesitas es amor.
Perhaps the most successful programme of her career, however, was the comedy Sé lo que hicisteis…. This daily show aired for over two years and has a 7.7 rating on IMDB.
With her career going from strength to strength, Rubio won best television reporter at Premio Joven 2007 and was named sexiest woman in the world by FHM in back-to-back years.
Still working as a presenter into the final years of the noughties and the start of the 2010s, Rubio hit a rocky patch with a couple of shows cancelled because of poor ratings. Todo el mundo es bueno suffered the same fate.
Following Sergio Ramos’ move to Paris Saint Germain, Rubio quit her role on the popular show El Hormiguero. Rubio will still feature in one of her segments, but with the entire family relocating to the French capital, it was unpractical to continue her full role.
Sergio Ramos
Pilar Rubio and Sergio Ramos have been in a relationship since 2012. This was confirmed at the 2012 Ballon d’Or gala, and they got engaged six years later.
It took just a year for the couple to tie the knot, with the wedding taking place at Seville cathedral in June 2019. The wedding was a who’s who of football royalty, including David Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Sergi Busquets and Santi Cazorla.
Appearing on El Hormiguero with host Pablo Motos, who was also a guest, Cazorla gave insight into the day itself.
The former Arsenal midfielder said, “I only drank rum, one after another. I was loyal and only drank rum. I didn’t mix drinks because know it can catch up to me.
“After rum I went on to churros with chocolate. The churros were amazing…
“I went on the bumper cars, which I hadn’t done since I was 15 and I didn’t fall off in an hour-and a-half.”
Family
Pilar Rubio and Sergio Ramos have four sons together. Sergio, Marco, Alejandro and Maximo Adriano (in age order) occasionally appear on their parents’ social media feeds.
Sergio, Marco and Alejandro were present at the wedding in 2019, while Rubio and Ramos became parents for a fourth time with Maximo Adriano in 2020.
Following weeks of speculation, Rubio confirmed her pregnancy in early 2020 on El Hormiguero.
She said, “I’m not even three months pregnant yet and I still don’t know if it’s going to be a boy or a girl. But don’t worry, I’m still going to be coming on the show.”
The model even took the opportunity to ask for some name suggestions.
“I want to take advantage of the fact I’m on the show to ask for suggestions of names, of boys and girls. I have some ideas in my head but that’s all.”
Is Pilar Rubio On Instagram?
Pilar Rubio has almost seven million Instagram followers. Nearing 2,000 posts on the social media platform, Rubio shares work-related posts and occasional snaps with her family.
She posts from the verified account of @PilarRubio.
Social media influencers can earn thousands per post. Rubio’s account isn’t littered with sponsorship deals, though this has likely been a method to earn some extra income – brands will have been jumping at the chance to work with Rubio, particularly with such a massive follower count.
