Who is Dalia Hernandez?
The beautiful Mexican actress Dalia Hernandez Armenta, was born under the zodiac sign of Leo on 14 August 1985, in Veracruz, Mexico – her ethnicity is Latino.

Early life, family, and education
Dalia was raised in Veracruz, by her Catholic parents, but that is all that’s known about her childhood, since she prefers to keep her private life away from the public eye; she hasn’t disclosed her parents’ names and occupations, nor about any siblings, so it’s assumed that she was raised an only child.

She attended a local high school, and upon matriculating in 2003, she enrolled at Veracruz University (Universidad Veracruzana), from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance in 2008.
Career
Soon after graduation, Dalia made her acting debut in the Oscar-nominated “Apocalypto”, written and directed by Mel Gibson, and also starring Gerardo Taracena and Raoul Max Trujillo. This action adventure drama follows the story of the Mayan kingdom, which is faced with the attack of the warriors who are seeking human sacrifices for their gods. Jaguar Paw (portrayed by Rudy Youngblood) hides his pregnant woman Seven (Dalia Hernandez) and their little son in a deep hole near their tribe, but he’s captured, while his wife stayed trapped in the pit where she gives birth to her newborn son.
For her performance, Dalia won Imagen Foundation Award – Best Supporting Actress,Film, in 2007, and after that she made an appearance portraying Rosa in the episode “Maria Magdalena” of the series “Capadocia”, in this drama about women imprisoned in an experimental complex in Mexico City, starring Aida Lopez, Dolores Heredia, and Juan Manuel Bernal; the series had eight awards nominations and six wins.
After she paused her acting career for over five years, she was cast to play Nayeli in the 2014 TV movie “The Legend of the Mask”, alongside Rodolfo Guerrero, Ulrich Gebauer and Michael Fitz, however, this adventure drama thriller had no award nomination and it wasn’t positively critiqued by the viewers.
Dalia seems to have again paused her career, waiting for another six years to make an appearance in the 2020 short movie “Ya’ax Che’” starring alongside Jose Luis Vidales and Eduardo Huezo, in this drama about twin brothers from the Mayan tribe who are sent on a quest to save the Princess of the Moon, but soon realize that the ruler of the underworld Xibalba is after them.
Dalia’s fans will be happy to hear that she’s acted in the movie “Miracle Underground”, which should be released by the end of 2022, and her appearance as Patricia is announced in the drama “Soho Sq.” written and directed by Guy C. A.
Love life and relationships

On her Instagram account, there are no photos of any men, and in her interviews, she avoids answering questions about her relationships.
