A weather segment out of Monterrey turned one meteorologist into a global viral sensation almost overnight.

Yanet García started forecasting temperatures for Televisa Monterrey in form-fitting mini dresses and, within a matter of months, had an audience that stretched well beyond northern Mexico. What began as a local evening broadcast slot turned into an international following built on Instagram, magazine spreads, and a level of scrutiny most weather presenters never experience. Before catching her next forecast, here’s what’s actually behind the headlines about García’s career and personal life.

• García almost turned down the Televisa Monterrey job, telling El País she had no prior broadcast experience and initially hesitated before deciding to treat the opportunity as a chance to learn on the job.
• Rumors surfaced in early 2016 that García had gotten butt implants; she publicly denied any plastic surgery, crediting her physique to dedicated gym workouts and squats and pointing to camera angles for the dramatic television stills.
• In July 2018, García split from her boyfriend of three years, professional Call of Duty player Douglas “FaZe Censor” Martin, who said in a released video that he ended the relationship to focus fully on Call of Duty championship tournaments and his contract; García later said on the morning show Hoy that the breakup blindsided her.

From Reluctant Hire to Viral Face of the Forecast

García’s rise wasn’t built on a lifelong broadcasting résumé. She told El País she nearly passed on the Televisa Monterrey weather slot precisely because she had no on-air experience, worried she’d be in over her head in front of a live audience. She took the job anyway, framing it as a learning curve rather than a finished skill set, and the on-camera comfort she developed turned a routine segment of the evening news into the most-clipped weather report in the country.

She said no to the Televisa Monterrey job once — then said yes, and became the most-watched face on Mexican weather television.

The Gym Rat Behind the Rumors

García has never hidden how much time she spends training, and that discipline became the center of a 2016 controversy when reports claimed she’d had butt implants. She pushed back publicly, insisting the results came from consistent gym work — squats specifically — rather than surgery, and chalked up the more exaggerated-looking broadcast stills up to camera angles rather than any procedure. It’s the same explanation you’ll hear from plenty of fitness competitors who’ve had their physiques questioned on camera, and it lines up with the workout routine García documents regularly on social media, not unlike the kind of grueling extreme training sessions that fitness influencers now film for their own audiences.

A Very Public Breakup

García’s personal life became tabloid fodder in July 2018 when she split from Douglas “FaZe Censor” Martin, a professional Call of Duty player she’d dated for three years. Martin posted a video explaining the breakup was about staying locked in on Call of Duty championship tournaments and fulfilling his contract obligations — a decision he framed as career necessity rather than personal fallout. García addressed it herself on the morning show Hoy, telling viewers she was blindsided by how it went down, a reaction that echoes how plenty of high-profile celebrity relationships unravel in public with one side caught off guard.

Beyond the Weather Desk

García’s Pomeranians are a fixture of her online presence — she even set up a separate Instagram account in 2016 for her dog, Mimi Faze, giving fans a second feed dedicated entirely to the pet. On the business side, she’s parlayed her television profile and magazine appearances in outlets like FHM and Maxim into Yanet Garcia Models, an academy she founded to train aspiring models and pageant contestants ranging from young children to young adults, a move that puts her in the same lane as other on-camera personalities who’ve turned their visibility into a modeling-industry business rather than a one-off endorsement deal.

Between the academy, the Televisa Monterrey broadcasts, and the fallout from the Martin split still playing out in interviews, García’s next move was never going to be just another weather report — and that’s exactly why millions kept tuning in for one.
