For Jeanette Del Rio, beauty is only one part of her story. A model, mother, and woman with a strong sense of self, she values honesty, kindness, and the meaningful connections that shape everyday life. Motherhood has given her a deeper understanding of love and personal strength, while faith and intuition continue to guide her journey. With a growing interest in business and new opportunities in modeling, Jeanette embraces her ambitions while staying true to the values that matter most to her. In this interview, she shares her thoughts on motherhood, spirituality, personal growth, and the woman she has become.
Jeanette, how would you describe the woman you are today, beyond modeling and everything people may see from the outside?
Being the woman that I am today, beyond what everyone can see, is a very deep question. I can describe myself as a woman with a strong character and emotional maturity. I am an honest woman who values strong communication, kindness, and empathy in daily life. I am still committed to growth.
Motherhood can change the way a woman sees herself and the world around her. What has being a mother taught you about life, love, and your own strength?
Being a mother has meant everything to me. I see motherhood as a mental state. My children have taught me so much. I can say they are a part of me outside of me. It is really hard to explain the love I have for them. It’s like loving myself and trying to give myself something I didn’t have growing up. They are my strength, my whole world.
What role does spirituality, faith, intuition, or simply listening to your inner voice play in your everyday life?
My relationship with spirituality and my inner voice plays a huge role in my life. If I pay attention, I feel God sends us people and signs to let us know He is around. We just have to be aware and follow our inner voice.
Modeling often comes with expectations around appearance and confidence. How has your relationship with beauty and self-confidence evolved through the years?
Modeling has come with challenges. Sometimes I have been asked to lose weight, and sometimes frequent travel has made it difficult to maintain a routine or social life.
When life becomes busy or overwhelming, what helps you return to yourself and feel grounded again?
When my life becomes too busy, I need my vacations, especially going to a peaceful place like a nice beach, where I can forget about everything.
Are there any personal principles or values that you try to live by and that you also hope to pass on to your child?
Being honest, independent, kind, and having empathy for others.
Looking at this chapter of your life, what would you like to create next — both as a woman and in your professional journey?
I am looking to succeed as a businesswoman and to keep working as a model for different brands.
