Isabella Gomez is a Colombian-born actress best known for her role in the Netflix series One Day at a Time. She was born on February 9, 1998, in Medellín, Colombia. Gomez began acting in commercials at the age of five. When she was ten years old, her family immigrated to Florida, United States, where she continued to nurture her passion for acting.
To aid her transition into English-speaking roles, Gomez took vocal lessons to soften her accent. At the age of fifteen, her family relocated to Los Angeles, California, to support her pursuit of a professional acting career.
Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, Isabella Gomez secured the role of Cristina Sandoval in the television series Matador (2014), appearing in seven episodes. She gained additional exposure through a guest appearance on the hit sitcom Modern Family in 2016, in an episode titled "The Party."
Gomez’s breakthrough role came in 2017 when she was cast as Elena Alvarez in One Day at a Time, the critically acclaimed reboot of Norman Lear’s classic sitcom. The updated version focuses on a Cuban-American family in Los Angeles and explores contemporary issues such as PTSD, immigration, sexual identity, and civic engagement. The show stars Justina Machado as Penelope Alvarez, a single mother and military veteran raising her two children with the help of her mother, played by Rita Moreno.
Isabella Gomez played the role of Elena over multiple seasons, appearing in a total of 39 episodes throughout the show’s run, which extended beyond its original two seasons. Her nuanced portrayal of a socially conscientious and openly gay teenager earned her widespread praise and made her a standout figure in Latino representation on television.
As of 2024, Isabella Gomez is 26 years old. She has become a prominent face among young Latina actresses in Hollywood and is recognized for her commitment to diverse and authentic representation in media. Her work in One Day at a Time has not only broadened her career opportunities but also contributed meaningfully to conversations surrounding identity and culture within the entertainment industry.
Following her success with One Day at a Time, Gomez has continued to pursue roles in television and film, aligning herself with projects that reflect both her talent and her advocacy for inclusivity. She remains active in supporting causes related to Latinx communities and is considered an emerging voice for cultural visibility in Hollywood.
