Marcela Rubiales Jiménez (born 16 April 1952) is a Mexican singer, actress, and television presenter. Due to her blond hair and sensual voice, she has been nicknamed La rubia sexy de la canción ranchera ("The Sexy Blonde of Ranchera Song").

For four consecutive years, she was the host of the Mexican television program Complicadísimo (1979-1982), a number-one rated show.

In 1980, she made her debut as a ranchera singer and signed a recording contract with EMI Capitol (now Universal Music Group), where she recorded her first hit singles: "Terroncito azucarado", "Cariño de mi cariño", "La verdad de la verdad", and "Échale un quinto al piano".

Life

She is the daughter of announcer and presenter Paco Malgesto (Francisco Rubiales Calvo) and singer and actress Flor Silvestre (Guillermina Jiménez Chabolla). Her brother is Francisco "Paco" Rubiales. Her elder half-sister was presenter, actress, and director Cristina Rubiales Peñalosa (d. 2023).
