Two months postpartum, telenovela superstar Michelle Renaud was in a boat off the coast of Spain, filming a beach scene in VIX's series Camino a Arcadia. "I had just given birth, I was breastfeeding, and I hadn't slept," she recalls. "But I told my husband, 'Milo and I are going. This is my dream.'"
And so they did.
In an interview with the Latin Times and ENSTARZ, Renaud joins from Spain, looking radiant, calm, and centered. It is a version of the Mexican actress the public rarely sees: after the storm, after the breakups, after the gossip.
"The project came to me at the perfect time," she says. "Valeria, my character, loses everything: her son, her great love, and has to rebuild from nothing".
Renaud does not just play Valeria. She lives her.
"I filmed while holding my baby in one arm, memorizing lines with the other," she says with a smile. "But I never felt guilt. This production, this team, made it possible to be both mother and actress."
When I remind her of our first interview, years ago, she nods. "I was freshly separated, in survival mode. But now I can say: I'm better. I'm wiser. I'm free."
Her glow-up has not gone unnoticed. "They say peace makes you more beautiful," she laughs. "And I believe it. When people leave your life after teaching you a lesson, you make space for something better."
In Camino a Arcadia, Valeria returns to a place of heartbreak to face her past. In real life, Michelle Renaud is doing exactly the same, only this time on her own terms. "We all closed cycles before this series," she says. "We were ready to grow."
