Laura Spoya's Biography: from Miss Peru to content creator

Laura Spoya went from the Miss Peru sash to the television cameras and, afterwards, to social media, where she now builds much of her career. She won the Miss Peru Universe title in 2015 and represented the country at Miss Universe that same year, but her story did not stop at the crowns: she was a sports reporter, a host, a contestant on "El gran chef: famosos" and, since 2025, the protagonist of a highly publicised separation that changed her personal life. Here we review her full biography, updated to 2026, with the verified facts about her career, her family and her present as a content creator.

Laura Spoya's childhood and early years

Laura Vivian Spoya Solano was born in Lima on July 25, 1991. She is of Croatian descent, a detail she has mentioned in various interviews when talking about her roots. From an early age she showed an interest in modelling and beauty pageants, a path she began to follow while still a teenager in her home city.

She studied business administration at the Universidad ESAN and, at the same time, communications at the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), training that later helped her make the leap into sports journalism before establishing herself in the entertainment world. Spoya has spoken openly about having been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition she says she has learned to manage over the course of her career.

Her entry into the world of beauty pageants was early: at 18 she was already competing representing Peru at international level, a debut that would shape the rest of the following decade in her professional life.

Laura Spoya's professional career

Laura Spoya's career formally started in beauty pageants, but it later stretched towards television and social media, two fields in which she has managed to stay relevant for more than a decade.

Main milestones of her career:

• 2010: she wins Señorita Lima and Miss Peru International; she represents the country at Miss International in Chengdu, China, reaching the 15 semi-finalists.
• 2015: she is crowned Miss Peru Universe and competes at Miss Universe, held in Las Vegas.
• 2016: she wins the Miss América Latina title.
• 2023: she takes part in "El gran chef: famosos", where her closeness to Mexican cuisine —through her then husband Brian Rullan— generated comments about her performance in the competition.

After her time as a beauty queen, Spoya worked as a sports reporter on the CMD channel, an unusual role for a former Miss Peru that let her show another side beyond the pageant. Over time, she moved much of her professional activity to Mexico, a country where she lives for a large part of the year and where she built a solid community as a content creator, combining fashion, motherhood and entertainment.

At Famosix we follow her evolution closely: from the catwalk to the screen and from the screen to social media, Laura Spoya has known how to adapt her personal brand to each stage of her career.

Laura Spoya's personal life

Laura Spoya married the Mexican businessman Brian Rullan on February 9, 2017. From that relationship her two children were born: Emilia, born in January 2019, and Antonio, born in April 2022. For several years, the couple shared their family life between Peru and Mexico through social media.

In 2025 the couple's separation was confirmed, a process that had wide coverage in the Peruvian entertainment press. In April 2026, after the break-up, images circulated of Spoya on a trip to Jamaica with Sebastián Gálvez, named by some outlets as her new partner; however, there is no official confirmation from the model about that relationship, so at Famosix we prefer not to treat that chapter as closed until she confirms it herself.

Brian Rullan has also spoken publicly about the media exposure the separation has generated, expressing his concern about how their children might see that content in the future.
