The stew hails from Argentina and is a self-proclaimed “daddy’s girl.” On the Season 11 trailer, Barbie opens up about her life during a confessional interview. “My eyebrows are tattooed. My eyelashes are fake as hell, and so are my extensions. But I’m real as f-ck,” she explained.
As for Barbie’s professional career, she’s been in the yachting industry for six years, but she also owns a decor company, Beyond the Table By Barbie. According to the company's Instagram, the yachtie launched her side gig in June 2023. Barbie’s company allows her to decorate elegant settings for “yachts, parties, events, dinners, [and] more!”
In the preview clip above, Barbie talks about how she had three nannies when she was growing up.
"I lived in Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, China..." she tells Bosun Jared and chief stew Fraser during the crew's first dinner out. "I grew up with three nannies all the time. One would cook, one would clean, and one would do my hair."
