Carlos Florencio Oreiro Poggio
Carlos was born on 9th January 1949. He worked as a travel agent but from year 1997/1998 he owns altogether with Togelio Copiz bed-mattress-making company Dormiflex . Natalia was a face of this company for several promotional events. In year 2006 in Natalia’s telenovela Sos Mi Vida, there was a hidden commercial for Dormiflex. Natalia’s character called Monita complains about Martín’s (Facundo Arana) bed, but he responds: “But honey, we can buy mattress from Dormiflex and all will be alright,” he jokes.
Natalia said about her father: “My father is very honest person, at least to me, his daughter. He is the one with great sense of humor and he is very loving father. He always protected me and I feel like his love is unconditional. He has very clear point of view and he is very intelligent. He is far more open than my mum is. He doesn’t have much hair, he wears glasses and he is very nice.”



Mabel Cristina Iglesias Bourié
Mabel was born on 22.2.1947. She received her education as hairdresser in Spain when the whole family moved there when Natalia was only six years old. When the family returned to Uruguay, Mabel started to work as hairdresser there. She always loved singing, but she never dared to do it professionally. The fact that Natalia became a singer was a dream coming true for Mabel. When Natalia received an offer from BMG to record her first CD in 1998, it was with this money that Natalia bought her mum a completely new hairdressing salon. Mabel who was very touched with this promised that she would play only Natalia’s songs in her salon. “It was my mum who was always telling me that I have a nice voice,” revealed Natalia. Moreover, Natalia dedicated her first CD to her parents: “Thank you for giving me wings and letting me fly above to reach new horizons!”
Natalia said about her mother: “My mum is very young by spirit, she is full of energy and she sings the whole day. Sometimes it seems she is younger than me. She is out there and in the living style we are very similar. She talks and talks and talks. Moreover, she is an excellent cook and she is very multifunctional!”
Mabel said about her daughter who came to be internationally famous in 2000: “When I see her as twenty-three years old girl and with so much success, I am a little worried about her. With such fame comes huge responsibility and there are a lot of people depending on her now.“
And it was Mabel, who Natalia invited for her world tour in 2001. Together they could visit countries like Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania or Israel.
After sisters Oreiro opened their fashion store Las Oreiro, mother Mabel does not miss any fashion show of her daughters and is very loyal customer. “My mum is very modern, she dresses nicely, changes her hair styles and even has piercing (in nose),” laughs Natalia at one of the fashion shows.

In September 2006 she gave birth to her daughter Mia. In 2007 the dream of sisters Oreiro came true when they set up a company Las Oreiro with clothes. “We both design clothes for our shop Las Oreiro, but Adriana is the one who is a real fashion designer, so more responsibility lies on her,” said Natalia about their cooperation.

After the arrival of newly weds, feast begun and there were cocktails, salads, salmons and caviar being served. Everyone was having fun; people were dancing while Ricardo preferred to watch everything from afar. After the first round, there were hot meals being served, such as chicken, beef and pork steaks, three kinds of pasta and many sauces. The funniest part was when everyone received masks and hats and were dancing unrecognized. Natalia was laughing so much when Ricardo picked up an elephant mask for him.

Beba, who was 72 years old at the time of concert, said after hearing Natalia sing her favorite song Rio De La Plata: “Today I am the happiest grandmother on Earth!”
How much Natalia loves her grandmother could be seen during the final gala of film festival San Sebastian in Spain on September 26th 2009 where Natalia said in her speech after receiving an award for her movie Francia: “Personally I would like to dedicate this award to my grandmother Beba who comes from Spain from province Vaseo.“ And it is thanks to grandmother Beba that Natalia has Spanish citizenship and Spanish passport and thus can travel back and forth without any visa necessities.
