# Andrea Torres

Andrea Elizabeth Eugenio Torres (born May 4, 1990) is a Filipino actress. She is currently an exclusive contract artist of GMA Network. Her acting breakthrough came in the 2012 television series Sana ay Ikaw na Nga. Since then, she starred in various TV series such as Ang Lihim ni Annasandra (2014), The Millionaire's Wife (2016), Alyas Robin Hood (2016), The Better Woman (2019), and Legal Wives (2021).

## Early life and education

Torres was born on May 4, 1990 in Makati City, Philippines, to Oscar Torres, a college professor, and Emerita Torres, who manages a food business. She has four siblings: Timothy, Kevin, Angeli, and Kenneth.
Torres completed her elementary education at St. Scholastica’s College in Manila. She began her high school studies at Colegio San Agustin but transitioned to homeschooling after entering the entertainment industry.
After high school, Torres enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas to study Communication Arts. However, she decided to pause her education after two years to focus on her career in show business. In a 2020 interview, she shared her intention to complete a college degree in the future, although she expressed a preference for pursuing a different field, such as marketing or business.

## Career

Torres was first seen as one of the contestants in ABS-CBN's teen-oriented reality show Qpids in 2005. In 2008, Torres transferred to GMA Network and became one of the hosts of the now-defunct youth-oriented magazine show, Ka-Blog!. She played supporting roles in various movies such as You to Me Are Everything and Shake, Rattle & Roll X.
On March 8, 2011, Torres signed a three-year exclusive contract with GMA Network. Two months later, she was part of the cast of the afternoon drama series Blusang Itim. She played a supporting role in the 2012 primetime series My Beloved.
Soon after, Torres landed her first lead role in the 2012 afternoon drama series Sana ay Ikaw na Nga, a remake of the 2001 popular teledrama of the same name where she was paired with Mikael Daez.
In 2013, Torres and Daez reunited in the romantic comedy series With a Smile. They continued their onscreen partnership in the 2014 fantasy-romance drama Ang Lihim ni Annasandra where she played the titular character. She led the cast of the 2016 afternoon drama series The Millionaire's Wife. Shortly after, Torres starred alongside Dingdong Dantes and Megan Young in the action-drama television series Alyas Robin Hood.
After primarily starring in the network's Afternoon Prime block, she went on to headline various primetime television series after Alyas Robin Hood, including The Better Woman, I Can See You: The Promise, and Legal Wives. She was also a mainstay of the weekly comedy show Bubble Gang from 2013 to 2019.
In 2022, Torres was widely-praised for her portrayal of Sisa in historical fantasy series Maria Clara at Ibarra.

## Other media

Torres appeared on the cover of FHM Philippines' December 2014 issue. She was also voted No.2 in the men's magazine's 100 Sexiest Women in the World in 2015 and No.15 in 2016. In 2015, she published her coffee table photo-book titled Andrea: Roadtrip.
Torres was launched as the 2017 calendar girl of the beverage company Asia Brewery. The following year, she was again featured as a calendar girl for the company, this time for their Cobra Energy Drink brand. After years as a calendar girl, she went on to publish her own personal calendar for 2019. In an Instagram post, Torres explained that this was her way of expressing her gratitude for the support fans had given her over the years.

## Personal life

Torres previously dated actor Derek Ramsay in 2019. They starred together in the television series The Better Woman. The couple confirmed their breakup in November 2020.
