The couple has also been spotted at various entertainment joints in Nairobi, including the famous Kiiza Lounge.

In a recent interview, she said she always ‘makes time’ to provide support for her husband despite the busy schedule.

“Every woman wants to be with their husbands but sometimes our professions deny us that desired opportunity. I was busy with my fashion activities in Punta Del Este (Uruguay) and Buenos Aires (Argentina). But we were always in touch daily via WhatsApp and FaceTime,” she said.

CLASSY AND ELEGANT

Botswana Unplugged describes Ale as a beautiful, classy, and elegant woman is an inspiration to fashion as a former model, actress and successful businesswoman.

“I started my career as model and actress in Argentina. As an actress I worked in the movie Evita, and then I also worked on television, modelling and everything related to the fashion industry. That’s me in a nutshell, I have a knack for fashion,” she said.

She also had words for advice for upcoming models.

“(Watch your) Diet and exercise. Healthy food is fundamental. That includes fruits and vegetables. I also do daily exercises like yoga, spinning and adventure sports such as hiking,” she says.
