I turned on for a moment when she was introduced and I was shocked also!

When you compare her to JT, she could easily be her daughter and they are the

same age !

That being said i don't like show that is currently on , nothing to do with any person ., it is kinda cringey. Just show products , why does every show have to have theme.

I assumed she was 50ish. She doesn't look like she's in 40s. I think the silly, old time idea that we look a certain way at any particular age should retire. At 63, I often here "you don't look 63". Sometimes I ask. "thanks but this is what 63 looks like". I think we're using modern skincare products, getting facials or doing our own, eating better, exercising and it contributed to healthier bodies. And of course, modern make up!

There is no answer for what a person is "supposed" to look like at a certain chronological age. It seems to be used on this forum to put others down. Pitiful

This wasn't supposed to put down any age group , she just doesn't look like those fake looking actress's with work done and still look, old Lisa Rinna ect.I know good Genes play a big part.

She looks very youthful to me and natural to boot!

I watched that presentation with Malley and Shawn and I think she was kidding around with them because they are over 50. I checked online for her profile and she was born in 1992 which makes her around 31. This is what I found:

Alina was born on 1992 in Miami to Cuban parents who escaped Castro’s regime in the 60’s. Her mother was a school teacher and her father was an engineer. Growing up she was always encouraged to pursue her dreams. She has an older sister. As a young adult, she left home to study fashion design in New York. After a few years in the industry, she moved back to Miami to start her own family.

@Goodie2shoes Most everything about public figures in any industry is incorrect on the internet in some way, unless it comes directly from that person, or you can trust the source. That blurb in particular is very wrong.

In the show they were laughing and having fun, but she was serious about being over 60. She even brought it up again when talking about her neck.

Alina worked in the aviation business herself for 17 years before even starting her fashion brand. She has grown children.

Alina looks terrific, not a day over 45 and definitely not 60+.

Corrections to other errors: she was born in Havana. From a Miami Herald interview several years ago, she also states she has brothers.

"Villasante was born in Havana, Cuba and immigrated to Queens, New York when she was only 8 months old."

“My parents were very hard workers. I have four brothers and we all feel very blessed that although we didn’t have everything, at the end, we really had everything."

Amazing that posters readily consume false information found on questionable websites. You need to check the address of those "celebrity" sites carefully. Almost all are based overseas and have virtually no credibility. And having the name wrong can also lead to faulty searches, which likely happened here. They cobble together a false bio, using info from people named Elena or Alina with the same last name.

False information has been posted here frequently about a number of QVC personalities.

@Danky2 JT has been showing her age the past year . It's amazing that Elena is the same age I too thought she was in her early 40's maybe .

I'm not surprised at all to hear she is in her sixties.

Re: Elena , I am shocked !!!

Carmie — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 14:16:23 GMT

On my HD TV she looks her age. My daughter is almost 50 and she looks way, way younger than Alina.

I think she has a youthful appearance because her hair style and clothing choices are modern. She always looks nice.

😂 One of my fave QVC rumors was that Mary Beth Roe was a former actress who starred on the tv series "The Waltons."

Also comparing women and how they look at their ages, as was done here. Putdown and pitiful.

I agree. That whole 50 campaign QVC's is running is absolutely ridiculous and I find it demeaning. If I hear one more ridiculous joke about sitting in a puddle of our pee the day we turn 50, I'll upchuck. They pretend that it's a positive, affirmative campaign. It is the opposite. It plays into all the old lady stereotypes. And it's just selling regular QVC merchandise. I'm patiently awaiting for the special programs that deal with funky, crusty, grizzled old men issues.

Lol. Don't believe everything you find online. That might me a different Alina or just bad information. QVC Alina most certainly is decades past 31. Anyone can see that.
