Her grandfather Lorenzo Servitje is the founder of Grupo Bimbo, and her uncle Daniel Servitje is the current CEO of the Mexican giant. The first director of the Altiplano Prison, Juan Pablo de Tavira, also appears in his genealogical tree, according to a count made by the Class Magazine.
Tavira's maternal history is linked to Juan Servitje Torrallardona, a Catalan who came to our country during 1904. He would open the El Molino pastry shop, which would remain in the hands of his son Lorenzo, who would found the company that today is worth 9,700 million dollars and It is ranked 433 on the Forbes Global 2000 list.
Servitje had seven children. One of them, María Lucila Isabel Servitje Montull, served as a teacher in theology and director of the Mexican Institute of Christian Social Doctrine.
She married Tavira Noriega, a doctor of law with whom she had three children, including Marina de Tavira Servitje.
The father of the Mexican actress was the director that she received in the high security prison inmates such as Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, Rafael Caro Quintero, Mario Aburto Martínez and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. After multiple death threats, the prison official was found dead in November 2000.[7]
She is the niece of the theater director Luis de Tavira and the actress Rosa María Bianchi; she is the cousin of Pedro de Tavira Egurrola and José María de Tavira.[8]
From 2012 to 2019, she had a relationship with Mexican actor Rafael Sánchez Navarro.[9]
From 2019 to 2021, she had a relationship with Mexican actor Diego Luna.
The playwright told an Ecuadorian newspaper that Marina's father was murdered a day before her acting debut, but she decided to introduce herself. In that presentation was Luis Rosales, who today is a casting director at Netflix, who called her to participate in the film Roma, directed by the acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón.
Roma gave her the opportunity to be considered by the academy as a nominee for Best Supporting Actress, along with Amy Adams, Regina King, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, in the same category.[7]
