Her mother was born in Olite, Navarra, and is of mostly Asturian, and more distant Basque, descent. Both her parents have roots in Avilés, Asturias. Rossy has two children.

She has stated:

I’m quite mixed. My nose embodies the Basque part of my DNA. My parents are from Asturias and there is Celtic blood in my family.

      Era solo un’errore di stampa. Gli Spagnoli non hanno origini germaniche rilevanti, a parte qualche remoto influsso barbarico.

        Eh lo so la mia dialettica è troppo complicata per chi ha fatto il “Liceo delle Scienze Umane”. Lavati le ascelle che inizia a far caldo dai.

    Very Basque nose indeed.
    The remark about Celtic blood is funny and sad at the same time, Asturian and Galician nationalism have done unsalvageable damage to the Spanish society, they actually managed to delude their population into thinking they’re the only ones with Celtic blood in Iberia, when in reality most people all across Spain and Portugal have so called Celtic haplogroups (branches of R1b), oh well…
