Ana Carolina Ardohain Dos Santos (born January 17, 1978 in General Acha, La Pampa) is a model and television personality from Argentina, also known by the nickname Pampita.
Pampita’s still photography work includes the likes of Victoria’s Secret[dubious – discuss] and Wonderbra. She has also been featured in advertising campaigns for Honda and Coca-Cola. At times she is seen posing practically nude and has many racy photos to her name.[citation needed] Ardohain also has hosted her own TV variety shows, “El Rayo” and “El Sitio”, which were ratings winners.
During the FIFA World Cup South Korea-Japan 2002 campaign, Ardohain was voted the national football (soccer) team’s representative, or “Godmother” as many called the honorary post. She was invited by Televisión Española to the TV program El Show de Flo in September 2002. She continued as actress in the Argentinian TV series “Rebelde Way” (2003) and “Doble Vida” (2005). In February 2004 she was jury and Queen of the International Music Festival of Viña del Mar, in Chile, and became a personality very popular in Latin America.
Pampita married model and photographer Martín Barrantes in November 2002. In September 2005 she separated from Barrantes in the midst of a tumultuous media-hyped rumor that she was having an affair (which she denied). She rather quickly began dating and living with Benjamín Vicuña, a famous actor from Santiago, Chile. Newspapers published photos of Ardohain walking her beagle, clearly showing that the model was pregnant. In late 2007, Ardohain’s lawyer publicly stated that he had “proof” that Ardohain had not committed adultery, that her marriage to Barrantes was all but over at the time of their separation, lacking only a formal divorce proceeding.
Ardohain and Vicuña had a girl, named Blanca after Vicuña’s grandmother. Ardohain has been quoted as saying, “This is a child that we have been waiting for and have loved since the first moment. I’m so proud, having done things without hurting anyone.” The birth also bought about a reconciliation between Ardohain and her mother. Vicuña and Ardohain welcomed son Bautista on February 29th, 2008.
Ardohain was a contestant on the Chilean version of Dancing with the Stars, “El Baile en TVN” while pregnant with her second child.[citation needed] She is considered the top model of Argentina and had a reputation for partying.[citation needed] But she now shies away from the glamours of the model’s life, instead opting for quiet nights with Vicuña. She is also known for her various charity works. Carolina and her mother participate in Capoeira, an exotic Brazilian martial art that combines dance and fight.
