Jolette Guadalupe Hernández Navarrete (born 21 January 1984) is a Mexican singer and television presenter. She is best remembered for being part of the fourth generation from the reality musical talent show La Academia in 2005.

Early life

Jolette Guadalupe Hernández Navarrete was born on January 21, 1984 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, the daughter of Francisco Javier Hernández and Guadalupe Navarrete, and the sister of Javier and Pablo. She grew up in a conservative family attached to the Catholic religion, so she spent her childhood as a student of Orthodox religious schools. According to her parents, from childhood to adolescence, she showed a rebellious attitude towards people who asked her or did something that was not to her liking. This caused her problems while in high school, so she was frequently changed from the schools in which she studied, and also caused her mother to undergo several psychological tests in order to understand her behavior. The specialists she visited concluded that she suffered from Marilyn Monroe syndrome, childhood depression and lack of concentration. Jolette herself did not accept this diagnosis and took it as wrong, which is why she stopped attending psychologists. In addition to what was mentioned, she was constantly attacked by her classmates due to the physical beauty she possessed, coming to suffer from bullying for this. Her relationship with her parents was not the same, since she was very close to her mother, and her father was estranged by his seriousness and the little affection he showed her. Before coming to television with La Academia, she did professional university internships at a television channel in Guadalajara, took theater classes with actress Ofelia Cano, practiced figure skating and ballet, appeared on the cover of several magazines, and was photographed by some newspapers for the «social» sections.
