How Old Is Ingrid Casares Who Was Born and Raised in Florida?
Showbizers has been able to authenticate that Ingrid Casares is 60 years old. The nightclub owner is five years younger than her long-time friend, Madonna, who was born on the 16th of August 1958. Casares was born on the 27th of May 1964 to parents who were originally from Cuba. Her place of birth was in Little Havana, Miami, Florida, and she was raised in Coral Gables, also in Miami, Florida.
Born into a well-to-do family, Ingrid Casares’ parents Nancy and Raul Casares fled Cuba during the revolution. It is said that her father Raul Tomas Casares who passed away in December 2016 immigrated to the United States as a teenager. He immediately got into the window business despite being only 14 years old and went on to found one of the prominent window and aluminum manufacturing firms in the United States — R.C. Aluminum Industries, Inc.
While in pursuit of the American dream, Ingrid Casares’ father didn’t forsake his root. He returned home several times and on one of the trips met Nancy Martin who became his wife. Ingrid isn’t the only child Nancy and Raul Casares had together: she has two sisters. Before her, they had her older sister named Nancy, Nancy Vias, and father her they had another girl child named Luly Casares.
The Nightclub Owner Graduated from the University of Maryland
Growing up in Florida, Ingrid Casares attended an all-girls Catholic high school, Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, where she was a popular and athletic student always getting into trouble. Upon her graduation, she proceeded to the University of Miami to further her education. But then, she fell in love after her first year and abandoned her education. She relocated with her lover who was a fellow student to North Carolina but would eventually obtain a degree from the University of Maryland where she studied English and Public Relations.
1991 came and she relocated to Los Angeles where she worked as a model booker for Wilhelmina Men. Around this time, she met and began dating Sandra Bernhard, and through her, she met Madonna. Her friendship with Madonna earned her vast publicity which has sustained to date. As she once said, she could discover a cure for cancer and still be known as Madonna’s girlfriend.
Ingrid Casares is regarded as an actress in some quarters but this is not right. To the best of our knowledge, the only reason she is regarded as such is because of her appearance in Madonna’s 1992 music video for Deeper and Deeper. Ingrid is a nightclub owner and she has been making a living from this since at least 1995. She co-owns Liquid in Miami with her ex, Chris Paciello, and is also invested in various kinds of nightlife businesses.

Ingrid Casares Doesn’t Have a Husband and Has Never Been Married
Nothing indicates that the nightclub owner and long-time friend of Madonna has a romantic partner at the moment. And to the best of our knowledge, she has never been married and doesn’t have a husband. Be that as it may, she has dated various prominent Hollywood figures.
American actress and stand-up comedian Sandra Bernhard is one of the first people she was romantically linked to. Apart from her, she dated k.d. lang, a Canadian singer-songwriter cum actress, Chris Paciello, and possibly, Madonna and Lauren Holly. Casares is sexually queer and has been romantically linked with males and females over the years.
She Had a Son Named Nico Casares with Dennis Schaller
Ingrid Casares has never been married but she is a mother. Various reports have it that she gave birth to her only child in 2000, a son named Nico Casares. This seems to be true as Ingrid referred to Nico as her son in a Twitter post dated October 24, 2017.
If one must believe everything that has been reported about this, the father of her son is a certain Dennis Schaller, a German model whom she dated in the late 90s/early 2000s. That’s as far as anyone knows about the father of her child.
What Happened to Ingrid Casares, Where Is She Now?
Ingrid Casares has been around and is still around, even though she no longer makes news headlines like she used to. Because of this, many have been wondering if she is still friends with the Queen of Pop. From what we gathered, Casares and Madonna are still friends. This is true despite the fact that they are no longer often seen together in public.
A recent instance that showed Ingrid and Madonna are still friends happened in December 2021 when Ingrid took to Twitter to call Madonna’s former best friend, Sandra Bernhard, a liar. This was after Bernhard’s interview with Hot Takes & Deep Dives wherein she stated that Madonna’s relationships don’t last, among other things.
Reacting to the interview, Ingrid Casares called Bernhard out on Twitter, specifying that the fallout between the actress and Madonna was because the singer didn’t ask her to be in her s*x book.
