Daniella Desirée Cabello Contreras (born April 11, 1992) is a Venezuelan singer, television producer, and politician.[1][2] She serves as Minister of Tourism in the government of Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez.[3][4]

Biography

Born in San Antonio de Los Altos, a city that is part of Greater Caracas, Daniella is the daughter of politicians Diosdado Cabello and Marleny Contreras.[1][5]

As a singer, she debuted her song Invencible on the state-run Venezolana de Televisión (VTV) channel, which led to her being selected as the face of the 2014 Venezuela International Tourism Fair (Fitven).[6] She starred in the videos La verdad de Venezuela, produced by the Jorge Rodríguez Padre Foundation and premiered on her father's show, Con el mazo dando, on the TVes channel.[7] She was also a producer on the program Con el Mazo Dando.[8] That year, she participated in the Suena Caracas Festival, where she was booed.[9]

At a press conference in August 2015, Tarek El Aissami released a video of José Pérez Venta, who had been arrested and charged with dismembering a woman, in which he claimed that Andrea González had contacted him to murder Daniella Cabello for US$500,000, which resulted in her and her husband's arrest.[10] González was considered an opponent of the government at the time. The media outlet Runrunes later refuted this version, reporting that Pérez was a government infiltrator in the opposition.[10]

She began studying Political Science at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), but did not complete the course.[9] While studying, he enrolled as a student of Political Science and Sociology at the Federal University of Latin American Integration (Unila), but dropped out in 2016.[2][11][12] In February 2020, the American social network Twitter closed his account.[13]

In September 2024, Nicolás Maduro created the Venezuelan Export Promotion Agency to replace CADIVI, which will be headed by Daniela Cabello.[14] In February 2026, Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, appointed her Minister of Tourism.[3][15][16]

Personal life

After five years of dating, on December 26, 2019, she married her music producer, singer Omar Acedo, in a civil ceremony. On December 27, a religious ceremony was held at the Military Circle in Caracas, where guests had to leave their cell phones behind to prevent recordings.[17] On February 22, 2022, she became a mother when she gave birth to her first daughter, Danna Isabella Acedo Cabello.[18]

In November 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (USDT) imposed sanctions on 21 senior officials in Nicolás Maduro's government.[19] Among those sanctioned is Daniella Cabello.[20]
