She has also appeared as a comedic actress on stage and on television.
In a 2018 interview, Tagliani explained that as a trans woman, she could have changed the name and sex listed on her national ID (DNI) under the 2012 Gender Identity Law, but chose not to.
You can see how you perceive yourself, but do I have to see myself as you perceive me? No, let me have the possibility of deciding.
I don't have a DNI and I don't want it. When it first came out I didn't want to be a flag of someone's achievement, I decided.
In April 2020, Tagliani announced her engagement to boyfriend Leo Alturria via Instagram.
On June 19, 2020, Tagliani tested positive for COVID-19 after an employee of her show El Precio Justo (The Fair Price) was infected days before.
