Natalie Martinez was born on July 12, 1984, in Miami, Florida, United States. She is an American citizen of Cuban descent. Martinez had a typical childhood and didn’t initially aspire to a career in media. However, recognizing her daughter’s potential, her mother encouraged her to explore opportunities in the entertainment industry.
She graduated from St. Brendan High School, a co-educational Roman Catholic institution, in 2002.
Martinez first gained attention as the face of Jennifer Lopez’s clothing line, JLO by Jennifer Lopez. She was chosen as the brand’s spokesmodel from among approximately 5,000 applicants, marking the beginning of her professional modeling career. Her striking presence quickly led to appearances in multiple magazines, including international editions of Maxim, Stuff, and Open Your Eyes. She became a popular choice for fashion spreads and was prominently featured on billboards promoting the J.Lo brand.
Before her television and film roles, Martinez appeared in several notable music videos, adding to her growing profile in the entertainment world. Among them were Justin Timberlake’s “Señorita,” Sean Paul’s “We Be Burnin’,” “Yo Te Quiero” by Wisin & Yandel, and “Ne'ool Eih” by Amir Dab. These projects highlighted her crossover appeal in both fashion and music scenes.
Martinez made her acting debut in the 2006 MyNetworkTV telenovela Fashion House, playing the character Michelle Miller. Although she was originally slated to appear in the first season of NBC’s Chuck, her character was removed before airing. Despite this early setback, Martinez went on to secure numerous roles in both television and film.
She gained momentum with a role in the 2008 action film Death Race, where she starred alongside Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Tyrese Gibson, and Ian McShane. The performance helped establish her as a rising talent in film.
Following her film success, Martinez continued to build her television career. She played Maggie Morales in the short-lived Fox series Sons of Tucson and went on to appear in the indie film El Dorado (2009) and the coming-of-age drama Magic City Memoirs (2010).
In 2010, she was cast as Detective Ariana Sanchez in the ABC police drama Detroit 1-8-7. Two years later, Martinez joined the cast of CSI: NY in its final season as Detective Jamie Lovato. In 2013, she earned a lead role in the CBS science-fiction drama Under the Dome, based on Stephen King’s novel, which brought her further mainstream visibility.
Martinez has often been recognized for her physical appeal, appearing in swimsuit and fashion photo shoots across various media outlets. Despite public interest, she has consistently maintained her privacy regarding personal relationships. She is not publicly married, and although she was briefly linked to actor Danny Masterson in 2003, she has not disclosed any current relationship status.
As of the end of 2016, Natalie Martinez was 32 years old and stood at a height of 1.68 meters (5 feet 6 inches). Her estimated net worth at the time was approximately $2 million. While details about her annual salary are not publicly available, her income primarily stems from acting and modeling.
