MALUMA’S climb to fame started as a teenager after his first single.
The Colombian pop star’s continuous success has landed him gigs beyond the music industry.

Does Maluma only produce music?
Not only is Maluma a singer and songwriter, but he is also an actor.
The musician has taken his talents to Disney’s Encanto as Isabel’s soon-to-be fiance, Mariano. In fact, Encanto’s Colombian location hits close to home for the Latin singer.
In a statement discussing the movie, Maluma expressed how magical Encanto was for him: “I’m from Colombia and the story is about a Colombian family. I’m proud to be part of this beautiful story. It means so much to me as I’m very passionate about sharing my country’s cultural values and story globally.”
Maluma hasn’t disclosed whether he’d continue acting.
Is Maluma dating anyone?
Maluma has been dating Susana Gomez, an architect and interior designer from Colombia, since August 2020.
Though he enjoys keeping his romantic life as private as possible, the two have been seen vacationing in Europe, including their latest trip to Spain in July 2022.
Like Maluma, Susana seems to keep a low profile, as her Instagram account is private.
