Marina Borensztein turned 60 this Thursday and chose to celebrate this new phase with a deep reflection on the passage of time, health, love, and relationships and all she has learned over the years. To accompany her words, she shared several snapshots from an intimate celebration with her loved ones, including images with her husband, the actor Oscar Martínez, and with her daughter, Malena Leyba.
“Postcards from a birthday that is very, very, very special and important. Sixty has arrived! And what luck that it arrived!” Marina began her extensive message in which she published on her social networks.
Instead of facing the arrival of a new decade with nostalgia, Borensztein celebrated the present and affirmed that today she feels better than in previous stages of her life. “I feel better and more fulfilled than at 50 and than at 40, let alone,” she expressed.
“Sixty finds me in good health and with a lot of energy”
In her message, Marina placed special emphasis on how she reaches this new phase. “Sixty finds me in good health, with a lot of energy, with my body more toned and strong,” she said.
But for her wellbeing goes beyond the physical. She also spoke about her relationships and the sense of calm she feels at this moment in life.
“Sixty finds me with my loves and our healthiest, happiest, and most peaceful relationships,” she wrote.
The words were accompanied by several photographs from her birthday. In one of them, Marina is seen blowing out the candles on a small cake during a dinner at a restaurant with Oscar Martínez and Malena.
Her daughter, Malena Leyba, is the fruit of her relationship with Jorge Leyba and currently lives in London. Marina and Oscar, meanwhile, have been based in Madrid for years. Malena’s presence in the photos gave the celebration a distinctly family tone, as the actress and writer chose to share her birthday with her loved ones.
A new chapter with more calm and connection
As she reflected, Marina also spoke of a deeper transformation and the way she relates to life today.
“Sixty finds me more serene, more present, more flexible, more sensitive, more connected with the unseen, spiritual world, with the mystery of living and the desire to live more and enjoy everything like never before,” she expressed.
The phrase encapsulates a view of this stage that is far from equating age with the mere passage of years. For Borensztein, turning 60 also means gaining a heightened awareness of what she wants to keep, what she wants to leave behind, and the freedom with which she chooses to live.
“At 60 I know what doesn’t cut it anymore and what goes on more than ever,” she wrote, in one of the most decisive lines of her post.
And she continued: “At sixty, I am freer, more secure, more loving toward myself and toward others.”
What more could I ask for?
After listing everything she felt she had found in this stage, Marina asked herself a question that also served as a celebration of what she has lived.
“What more could I ask for?” she wrote.
But she found the answer immediately: she still wants more time to enjoy all that she values today.
“And if… I can ask for more of all this for many more years,” she added.
With that outlook, Borensztein closed the reflection by returning to the present and the wish to savor the moment that has just begun: “For now, let’s continue enjoying this stage that began today.”
The peculiar birthday-date coincidence
In her post, Marina also shared a curiosity that her friend Rubén passed along about the date chosen to celebrate her 60th.
“My friend Rubén told me that today is 1/10/2026 = 10 = 1, in other words, it’s all 1, and that means I’m on the right path,” she recounted.
Her friend’s interpretation thus became another special detail of a birthday that Marina defined from the outset as “very, very, very special and important.”
Finally, the actress and writer expressed gratitude for the affection she received and, especially, for the support of those who have followed her for years.
“Thank you so much for all the love and so many good wishes for me! Thank you for being with me and trusting in me for so many years,” she wrote.
Thus, surrounded by her loved ones and with a profoundly vital outlook on the passage of time, Marina Borensztein marked her 60th birthday not only by entering a new decade, but also by celebrating everything she feels she has built to reach it: health, energy, healthier bonds, serenity, freedom, self-love, and, above all, a strong desire to keep living and enjoying life.
