Wendy Guevara, celebrated for her groundbreaking triumph on La Casa de los Famosos México, has taken another monumental step in her career by joining TelevisaUnivision’s daytime talk show Desiguales as its sixth co-host. In doing so, she makes history as the first transgender woman to hold such a role on this major Spanish-language network. Guevara, who captivated audiences as the first trans person to win a reality TV show in Mexico, now brings her vibrant energy to an already eclectic panel that includes Adamari López, Amara La Negra, Dr. Nancy Álvarez, Karina Banda, and Migbelis Castellanos.
“I’m beyond excited to join Desiguales and be a part of this incredible team,” Guevara said. “This is a show that brings so much joy to people, and I can’t wait to bring my personality and energy to the table. The audience can expect a lot of fun, laughter, and real, unfiltered moments from me. I’m ready to make things even more ‘Desigual’!”
Desiguales, reminiscent of The View, unites a group of women from diverse backgrounds to tackle social and pop culture topics. Guevara’s addition not only diversifies the show further, but also offers unprecedented visibility to the trans community. As Omar Fajer, SVP of Non-Scripted and Music at TelevisaUnivision, states, “Wendy’s fearless approach and ability to connect with audiences on social media will make her a perfect fit for the Desiguales family. Her down-to-earth charm and sense of humor will undoubtedly elevate the show’s engaging blend of current topics, entertainment news, and lighthearted banter, ensuring that viewers continue to feel like they are part of the conversation.”
This pivotal move comes during a charged political climate for transgender individuals in the United States. With a White House administration targeting trans rights—such as a recent executive order to review military policies on transgender service—Guevara’s presence in a high-profile media role feels particularly significant. While Desiguales doesn’t dwell heavily on political matters, including a strong trans voice in one of Univision’s most-watched daytime talk shows provides an inspiring symbol of representation and hope for many.
Originally known for her participation in the online sensation “Las Perdidas,” Guevara has earned substantial recognition through her success in La Casa de los Famosos México. Since her reality TV win, her career trajectory has soared. She recently moved to Miami, a transition she revealed was linked to exciting new projects that required her presence in the United States. Now, it’s clear one of those opportunities is her hosting role on Desiguales.
Footage released on social media captured Guevara’s triumphant on-set introduction and the warm welcome she received from her co-hosts. Brimming with enthusiasm, she remarked, “I thank you for the opportunity.” In a live broadcast following the announcement, Guevara expressed her gratitude, describing her fellow presenters as having a “beautiful vibe.”
With this milestone, Guevara reaffirms her commitment to breaking barriers and uplifting the transgender community. Her visibility on a major platform like Univision sends a powerful message: trans lives and stories deserve a place in mainstream media. And with Desiguales blazing ahead, audiences can look forward to even more lively discussions, laughter, and moments of camaraderie—now made richer and more inclusive than ever.
