Manuela Arbeláez joined THE PRICE IS RIGHT in 2009, after catching the attention of producers as a finalist in the show’s 2008 model search. Born in Medellín, Colombia, she moved to the U.S. in 2006, where her modeling career took off. In addition to her work on TPIR, Manuela has appeared on “Jack and Jill,” THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL and in music videos for artists like Robin Thicke. She was also a trophy model at the 54^th Grammy Awards and was named the #1 “Hottest Game Show Eye Candy” by Complex magazine.

Manuela now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters, ages 5 and 2. Family is a priority for her, and they enjoy spending weekends at the beach, riding bikes to the pier and listening to live music together. These simple moments of joy bring them closer and create lasting memories.

In recent years, Manuela has been leaning into her fitness journey and working as a part-time influencer, hoping to inspire others to stay active and healthy. Despite her on-screen poise, she has a surprising fear of tiny holes—something not many people know about her!
