**Patricio Arredondo** is a First-Generation sim, social media influencer, actor, and reality TV personality. He was born in Tecomán, Mexico.

Patricio was a contestant on the second season of K&GI, where he placed last. He is well-known for his television appearances and his relationship with singer Enca.

## Early Life

Patricio was born into an upper-middle-class family in the state of Colima, Mexico. He is the son of Gerson Arredondo and Paty Morales, the fourth of their five children. When he was five years old, the family moved to nearby Manzanillo, where Patricio and his four siblings were enrolled in a private school. He excelled in all of his subjects and was a popular student, frequently winning school athletic and academic competitions. When he was 17, he graduated from preparatory school and went to university in Guadalajara. After receiving a degree in Civil Engineering, Patricio began working at a firm thanks to his father's business connections. Though he was good at his job, he soon became more interested in the socialite life of the big city, and became a fixture in local lifestyle magazines. He began to dedicate himself to being an influencer and quit his job at the firm. It was during this period of his life that he met the Albanian singer and influencer Enca, who was on a tour of the country. After meeting at one of her concerts and then at a nightclub, Enca invited Patricio on her tour and he traveled through North America and Europe with her. They began dating, and they both applied to be on Kev & Get It in the hopes of appearing on the show together and boosting their careers as influencers.

## K&GI, Season 2

Both Patricio and Enca were cast on the second season of K&GI, and extensively promoted their appearances on the show during the release of promotional material. During the taping, however, Patricio began to show interest in other female contestants, making Enca jealous. During his first and only challenge, Patricio made a bad impression on his castmates and became unpopular. This led to him being nominated for elimination and eventually voted out by the audience after the second episode, making him the first contestant to be eliminated.

He returned in the sixth episode of the show, as Enca's surprise guest in the challenge. While he attempted to convince her that he only was interested in her, his interactions with Aurora Lizárraga during the challenge caused Enca to angrily reject him and break up with him officially. Despite his protests that he only had eyes for her, she was firm and snubbed him. She eventually quit the competition due to her believing that she hadn't entered the show for good reasons; namely, she had wanted to cement her relationship with Patricio in the spotlight, and that she wasn't going to be anything but excellent at the challenges.

Patricio returned to the show again in the ninth episode, where all eliminated contestants up to that point had the chance to come back into the competition. He showed regret for pushing Enca away and attempted to ask her for forgiveness, especially since she, as the sole judge of the challenge due to her preferring not to participate in the comeback challenge, also held the power to allow him to return to the competition. During the challenge, Patricio did not succeed at roasting his castmates, and was eliminated in the first round. Though defeated, Patricio decided to focus solely on cozying up to Enca and rekindling their romance, and though she was hesitant at first, she eventually gave in and the pair reconnected, becoming a couple again at the end of the episode.

Patricio returned for the final episode of the season for the reunion and finale. He was also featured in two episodes of Kev & Get More: first, briefly, in "Louise's Nightmare" on the cover of Gunoi!, and later in "Enca's Choice", where he was almost dumped by Enca again in her attempts to re-establish her career after her stint on the show.

## Television Career

After K&GI, Patricio used his connections at SimTV to get acting jobs, but was initially unlucky due to his early image as a disloyal casanova. He eventually managed to land a recurring role on Paloma De Pasiones as Felipe Villalobos. He also continued to increase his social media following after somewhat rehabilitating his image.

## Personal Life

Patricio is close to his family and visits them frequently in Manzanillo. He has a strong bond with his siblings, and they often travel with him. He is also good friends with Aavi Dhakal, his roommate, and they are frequently seen together.

Patricio used to date Mariana Alcorta. Their relationship began when Patricio moved to Guadalajara and continued for several years until shortly after he became an influencer and met Enca. She has admitted to several publications that she regrets breaking up with him but that she supports his career and his relationship with Enca.

Patricio is currently dating Enca. Though the couple publicly broke up multiple times both on K&GI and off the show, they decided that they wanted to be together after all, and consider themselves a power couple. They have a joint Simstagram account, (@patrenca), as well as individual ones.
