In 2008, she hosted a popular TV show La mamá del año which revolved around motherhood and joined the series Por amor a vos as a recurring character.

[5] In autumn Del Boca premiered Tiempo de pensar, a TV series she co-produced and starred in, tackling the issue of gender violence, stereotypes and female representation in the media.

[7] In 2019, she appeared in another theatre play, Brujas, with Leonora Balcarce, Andrea Bonelli, Romina Ricci and Viviana Saccone, which was a critical and commercial success.

[9] From 1988 to 1995 Andrea's partner was Argentine filmmaker Raúl de la Torre, and from 1995 to 1997 she was involved with American health care policy expert Jeffrey A. Sachs.
