Christina Ochoa, born Cristina Ochoa López on January 25, 1985, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, is a Spanish actress, marine biologist, and writer. She is the grandniece of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Severo Ochoa. Raised primarily in Barcelona, she spent time between Madrid, Miami, and her hometown during her formative years. Her father, Víctor Ochoa, is a renowned Spanish sculptor and graphic artist.
Ochoa received her early education at Santa Isabel La Asunción in Madrid. She went on to study Oceanographic Engineering at Las Palmas University in the Canary Islands and later pursued a degree in Advanced Marine Biology at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia. Her strong academic background reflects a long-standing passion for science and the ocean.
Although deeply committed to marine biology, Christina Ochoa discovered a parallel passion for performance. She began acting in her youth and participated in local theater, including productions at the Little Theatre of Alexandria in Washington, D.C. Eventually, her interest in the performing arts overtook her scientific pursuits, leading her to pursue acting professionally.
After relocating to Madrid to focus on acting, Ochoa began securing roles in both theater and television. Her early screen appearances included guest roles on popular U.S. shows such as "Modern Family" and "I Hate My Teenage Daughter." She also appeared in the Spanish television series "La Que Se Avecina."
Christina Ochoa gained widespread recognition for her role in the TNT drama series "Animal Kingdom," which she joined in 2016. Her performance received acclaim and helped establish her presence in the American television market. In 2017, she starred as the lead in the SyFy series "Blood Drive," a dystopian action show produced by NBCUniversal.
Ochoa has built a reputation for portraying dynamic, intelligent characters, often drawing on her scientific background to bring authenticity to technical or science-related roles. Her work continues to bridge the gap between science communication and entertainment media.
Christina Ochoa previously dated American actor and model Derek Theler. More recently, she has been romantically linked to British actor Ben Robson. Aside from her acting career, she remains actively involved in science communication, regularly participating in science conferences and contributing to educational outreach initiatives as a speaker and writer.
