Elena García Benlloch is the Spanish journalist for TN. Her love story brought her to Argentina, she built her professional path there, and today she is also Olivia’s mother.
Each dawn, while the city is still asleep, her Madrid accent lends a warmth to the Todo Noticias screen. Her face has become a familiar presence in the network’s early morning block—joining the Tempraneros team from 6 to 10 and taking part in international and trends segments—where she offers precise data and a close, approachable tone that immediately connects with those turning on the TV to start the day.
From Madrid to the TN screen: a decision for love
The journalist’s arrival in Buenos Aires did not arise from a corporate plan, but from a hunch. Born in Madrid in 1997, her life changed direction when she met Facundo, a Rosario native who eventually won her heart. After a period of a long-distance relationship and cross-Atlantic trips, in 2020 she decided to pack her bags and cross the Atlantic to fully commit to living together in Argentina.
Learning to decipher local idioms and adapt to the porteño dynamic was part of the personal journey, but professionally the challenge soon bore fruit. Guided by perseverance, she sent her résumé through digital platforms and managed to carve a path at one of the country’s most-watched news channels, where she translated her journalistic training into establishing her own space on screen.
The dawn challenge and the role of motherhood
In the summer of 2025, the journalist’s life took a fundamental turn with the arrival of Olivia, her first daughter with Facundo. Motherhood reconfigured her routine and added a new facet she often shares with ease both on air and on her social networks, where she shows everyday moments of her baby’s growth.
Organizing the early-morning hours alongside caring for a small baby requires fine-tuned logistics. With humor and ease, she has even joked on air that the little one inherited some traits from her father, yet she maintains the calm and the mother’s temperament. Between dawns, coffee cups, and strollers, the journalist is navigating a moment of life where her family and her career move forward in tandem.
A distinct voice on the daily live broadcast
With her natural ease in front of the camera, Elena managed to build a bond of great rapport with the audience. The blend of her international outlook with the everyday adoption of local customs—from mate to our own vocabulary—transformed her into a beloved figure of the newscast, proving that when talent and warmth meet, any corner of the world can feel like a true home.
