Niurka Marcos (born Niurka Melanie Marcos Calle[citation needed] on November 25, 1967 in Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban singer, dancer, actress, and erotic model. She is better known simply as Niurka.
She was a little-known actress in Cuba. Marcos already had a son when she moved to Mexico, whom she left behind to look for a better future.
Niurka had a son, Kiko, in 1991 and a daughter, Romina in 1995. She has not disclosed the father of either child.
In Mexico, she had mild success acting in telenovelas with Televisa, until she met producer Juan Osorio. Marcos and Osorio began dating in 1998. Marcos then became a star in many of Osorio's productions. They moved in together and had a son, Emilio, in 2002.
Marcos and Osorio were planning to get married in February 2004. Early in January, however, she revealed to the Mexican media, and the Latin American media in the United States, that she had been having an affair with her Velo de Novia co-star Bobby Larios, and that she was leaving Osorio for Larios. The news caused a wide-spread scandal and Marcos has not spared Osorio from public insult, blaming the break-up on, among other things, lack of sexual relations between the two.
On February 19, 2004, Marcos and Larios got married in Mexico City. Later in the year, it was revealed that Marcos and Larios would star in a reality show based on their home lives. In 2006, it was announced that the couple had broken up. Their divorce was finalized on June 28, 2006.
In summer 2007, after pictures surfaced of her teenage children smoking, Niurka admitted that 16-year old Kiko was allowed to light up in front of her but 12-year old Romania was not. She created controversy when she disclosed that she had bought cigarettes for Kiko since he was 13. Photos surfaced a few days later of Niurka and the 16-year old smoking together on the beach.
Niurka met Yanixan Texido in the United States and later married him in 2007. Yanixan relocated to Mexico with Niurka and works as a sales representative for private coorporation in Mexico City.
Niurka appeared as a supporting actress on La Fea Más Bella during 2006 and sang on its soundtrack album.
Niurka Marcos has also released a CD named Niurka.
During her latest stay in Mexico City, she posed for the February 2007 issue of the Mexico edition Playboy magazine.
