In an interview she gave a few months ago, Carla spoke about the bad experiences she has had since she was 14. During this time she has had several suicide attempts and has suffered from bulimia and anorexia. “I wasn’t happy, it was a pretty bad feeling and, as I didn’t feel good about myself, I became rebellious. I didn’t want to study, I had parties at home… I felt like I was missing my mother. It was a void that I wanted to fill but I didn’t know how,” she recalled.
At that time he became aware that he was stopping eating and was beginning to “vomit”. “That’s when I started looking in the mirror and hating myself. I didn’t love myself.”“I knew it was self-destructive for me, because of the experience my mother had, and I was very scared. That’s why I told my loved ones: ‘I’m killing myself little by little and I don’t want the same thing to happen to me as happened to my mother,'” the young woman explained in Readings.
As for her heart, at the beginning of the summer she began a relationship with a young Catalan named Xavier Macías, who is trying his hand at football. In the autumn of 2022, Carla – who dreams of establishing herself as an actress – left him with another young man, Álvaro Uceda, after about a year and a half together. They keep their relationship practically at a distance, since she lives in Madrid and he in Barcelona, although they see each other when they have the chance.
