MiniBio

She’s best known for her standout performances in Lipshitz Saves the World, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta!, and the drama Reunion, which really helped solidify her presence in Hollywood. In addition to her film work, she also made a splash in the digital space, starring in an NBC Universal web series called DialStar—a role that showcased her versatility early on. Before all the fame and red carpets, she got her start with guest appearances on shows like On the Lot and CSI: Miami, small but meaningful steps that laid the foundation for her career.

Growing up, she was raised in El Paso, Texas, in a richly diverse household as the daughter of an Italian Catholic father and a Russian Jewish mother—a background that undoubtedly shaped her unique perspective. On the personal side, her relationship timeline drew quite a bit of public attention. In 2008, she began dating television actor Jesse Metcalfe, and after nearly a decade together, they got engaged in 2016. However, in 2020, the couple made the mutual decision to call off their engagement. Not long after, she found new love and began a relationship with drummer Shannon Leto, marking a fresh chapter in her life.

Throughout it all, she’s remained true to herself, balancing her professional ambitions with personal growth—all while staying very much in the spotlight.
