What Happened to ‘Sita’ Jeannette? Morandé con Compañía Star’s Reinvention

For a generation of Chilean television viewers, Jeannette Moenne-Loccoz is instantly recognizable as “Sita” Jeannette, the model and dancer who became a beloved fixture on the long-running variety show Morandé con Compañía. But where is she now? The answer, it turns out, is a world away from the bright lights and quick pace of television, and firmly rooted in the world of event production.

Moenne-Loccoz first gained prominence on Morandé con Compañía in the early 2000s, appearing from 2001 to 2004, and then briefly returning in 2012 as a co-host. She also took on roles in other Chilean productions, including La ley de la selva, and made appearances on Chilevisión’s Amor Virtual, Don Diablo, and Vampiras. More recently, she had small roles in the teleserie Como la vida misma (2024) and the youth series BKN, playing the mother of a character portrayed by Constanza Piccoli. But it’s a career shift, not a continued presence on screen, that defines her current life.

From the Runway to Event Production

Today, at 51 years vintage, Jeannette Moenne-Loccoz is the co-founder of “Saber Vivir Chile,” an event production company she established 14 years ago with journalist Carolina Cardemil. The company focuses primarily on events for technology clients, a sector that, according to Moenne-Loccoz, provides consistent function. “We exist for 14 years with my partner, we are, well, most of our clients are technology, which doesn’t stop throughout the year,” she explained in an interview with El Ciudadano ADN. They also work with clients in the real estate and construction industries, including Copahue.

Saber Vivir Chile’s Instagram page (@sabervivir_cl) showcases a portfolio of sleek, modern events, a far cry from the often-chaotic energy of live television. The company’s website emphasizes their extensive experience in the communications field and their commitment to overseeing every aspect of event planning, from conception to execution.

A Return to “Detrás del Muro” – Without Her

The recent announcement of a revival of Morandé con Compañía’s classic segment “Detrás del Muro” (“Behind the Wall”) on Mega sparked some curiosity about whether the show’s former stars would be involved. However, Moenne-Loccoz confirmed that she was not contacted to participate. In fact, she admits to being somewhat disconnected from the current television landscape. “I’m super lost in what’s happening in television today, so much so that I don’t have a television in my apartment, that is, super lost,” she told El Ciudadano ADN. “I listen to the news on the radio, I’m not good at TV.”

This isn’t to say she’s entirely removed from the public eye. Moenne-Loccoz recently made headlines as she supports her 15-year-old daughter’s pursuit of a competitive equestrian career. She is currently fundraising to facilitate cover the costs of her daughter’s participation in an international equestrian tournament in France, seeking to raise approximately $29 million Chilean pesos (approximately $30,000 USD as of March 5, 2026).

A Career Defined by Reinvention

Moenne-Loccoz’s career trajectory demonstrates a willingness to adapt and reinvent herself. From her early days as a model and dancer, she transitioned into co-hosting roles and acting appearances, and ultimately found success as an entrepreneur. This adaptability is perhaps a key reason why, despite her absence from television, she remains a fondly remembered figure in Chilean pop culture. Her story resonates with audiences who appreciate a pragmatic approach to career and life, and a willingness to pursue new passions.

Born on February 17, 1975, Jeannette Moenne-Loccoz has navigated the entertainment industry for over two decades. While she briefly revisited television with appearances in La Divina Comida in 2018 and the aforementioned roles in Como la vida misma and BKN, her focus remains firmly on Saber Vivir Chile.

Looking Ahead: A Focus on Business and Family

For “Sita” Jeannette, the future appears to be centered on the continued growth of Saber Vivir Chile and supporting her daughter’s athletic ambitions. While a return to television isn’t currently on the cards, she seems content with the life she has built, a life that prioritizes stability, entrepreneurship, and family. Her story serves as a reminder that success can take many forms, and that sometimes, the most fulfilling path lies beyond the spotlight.
