Andreu Buenafuente

His sister, Maite Buenafuente, is an actress and was also one of the founders of the production company El Terrat, where she worked as the casting director. In 2010 Andreu Buenafuente publicly announced his relationship with the actress and comedian Silvia Abril. In 2012 the couple had a daughter, Joana.

In defence of his right to privacy, Buenafuente has sued various gossip magazines. In 2011 the Supreme Court of Spain ordered the magazine Diez Minutos to pay him €48,000 for publishing photos of him with his then partner without permission. That same year the Supreme Court affirmed the sentence that ordered the magazine Sorpresa to pay him €55,000 in compensation for publishing, between 2004 and 2006, stories about his private life, among them photos in which he was naked at the beach. In both suits, Buenafuente donated the money he received to various NGOs.

In November 2025, it was announced that Buenafuente would take a break from television for mental health reasons, suspending his show Futuro imperfecto, however he would aim to return for the New Year bells that he had planned to host on TVE. Later in December, Buenafuente and his wife Silvia Abril announced that Buenafuente would not recover in time for the bells, and they were replaced by Chenoa and Estopa.
