Raini Rodriguez Age and Early Life

She was born on July 1, 1993. That makes her 33 years old as of October 2026. Her birth date is consistent across Wikipedia and Rotten Tomatoes. Some low quality sites list a different year, so check the source before trusting any age you see.
Where Is Raini Rodriguez From?
Rodriguez was born in Bryan, Texas, a city in the Brazos Valley region. Her parents, Diane and Roy Rodriguez, ran a business called Rodriguez Tire Service, according to Wikipedia’s biography. She is of Mexican descent.
How Raini Rodriguez Started Her Acting Career
Her path began at an IMTA talent showcase, where California talent agent Susan Osser noticed her. Osser proposed becoming her manager and suggested the family spend a year in California. Rodriguez was 11. Her mother agreed, and the family moved to Los Angeles while her father stayed in Texas to run the tire shop. Her mother home schooled her and Rico so they could work.
The early roles were small. She appeared in commercials and short films, then took guest parts in Huff (2006), Family of the Year (2007) and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2007), where she played Betsy. She also did an early voice job on Handy Manny. Her first feature film, Paul Blart: Mall Cop in 2009, led to a Young Artist Award nomination in 2010. From there she moved into Disney Channel work, including I’m in the Band and True Jackson, VP, before landing a lead role.
Raini Rodriguez Family and Rico Rodriguez
Yes, Rico Rodriguez is her younger brother. He is best known for playing Manny Delgado on ABC’s Modern Family.
The two have worked together several times. They played siblings in the 2009 comedy The No Sit List, according to Rotten Tomatoes. They also competed against each other on the Nickelodeon game show Double Dare in 2018 and appeared together on The Substitute in 2020. Both moved to Los Angeles with their mother as children, which shaped their early careers.
Wikipedia, citing a TV Guide biography, says the family includes two more brothers, Ray and Roy Jr. Her father, Roy, died on March 12, 2017, at age 52, as reported by Fox News. Beyond this, little about her family is publicly documented, and it is best left private.
Raini Rodriguez and Austin & Ally
Austin & Ally aired on Disney Channel from 2011 to 2016. The show follows Austin Moon (Ross Lynch), a pop singer, and Ally Dawson (Laura Marano), a shy songwriter. Calum Worthy plays Dez, Austin’s friend and video director. Rodriguez appears in 87 episodes, according to Wikipedia’s credits list, and she directed the episode “Rejection & Rocketships.”
Who Did Raini Rodriguez Play in Austin & Ally?
She played Trish De la Rosa, Ally’s best friend and Austin’s manager. Trish is loud, funny and quick to complain, and she keeps trying new jobs. Over the run of the series she moves from a side figure in the music business to someone who builds her own management company.
Trish gave Rodriguez her biggest audience and opened the door to music and voice work. She brought the character back in a 2015 episode of I Didn’t Do It titled “Bite Club.”

Raini Rodriguez TV Shows
Her television work is mostly Disney. After guest spots on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, I’m in the Band and True Jackson, VP, she became a regular on Austin & Ally. She later returned to Disney Channel in Knight Squad (2019) and in a recurring role as Barb Barca on Bunk’d, which Wikipedia lists as eight episodes between 2019 and 2023.
She also appeared as herself on reality and talk programming, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2011.
Raini Rodriguez Voice Acting Career
Voice work has become a central part of her career. Early credits include Handy Manny (2007), Vampirina (2017), The Lion Guard (2018 to 2019) and Where’s Waldo? (2019). In 2021 she voiced Gretel in A Tale Dark & Grimm and Gabi in the Rugrats revival (2021 to 2023).
Her most visible voice role is Sammy Gutierrez in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (2020 to 2022), a Netflix animated series about teenage campers stranded on an island of dinosaurs. The cast includes Paul-Mikél Williams, Jenna Ortega and Ryan Potter. She returned as Sammy in the follow up series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (2024 to 2025).
Raini Rodriguez Music Career
Music has been part of her work since Austin & Ally. Her song “Living Your Dreams” (2012) was written for the film Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3: Viva La Fiesta!, with a Spanish version titled “Vive Tus Sueños.” She also released songs tied to the show, including “Double Take” (2013), “You Wish You Were Me” and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” (2014), and appeared on the “Austin & Ally Glee Club Mash Up” for Disney Channel Play It Loud (2013).
In a 2016 interview, quoted by PopCrush, she said she hoped to release an album one day. Streaming services now list one: an album called RAINI dated February 5, 2026 on Spotify and Amazon Music, and a single called “Blueish Pills” dated May 15, 2026 on Last.fm. I could not find press coverage of either release, so details beyond the listings remain limited.

Raini Rodriguez Husband and Relationship Status
Searches for her husband do not mean she is married. No reliable source I found confirms a marriage, an engagement or a current partner. Here is how the available information sorts out:
- Confirmed marriage: none found.
- Publicly documented relationship: none found from reliable sources.
- Rumor: some content farm sites claim an engagement, children or past relationships. They cite no sources, and this article does not repeat them.
- Unavailable: she keeps her private life out of the press, so her current status is not publicly known.
What Is Raini Rodriguez Doing Now? (2026 Update)
Her last documented acting work is the voice of Sammy in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (2024 to 2025). Her most recent live action credits are on Bunk’d, through 2023.
The newest documented activity in 2026 is music: the RAINI album listing in February and the “Blueish Pills” single in May, both from streaming platforms. I found no confirmed announcements of new acting projects, so none are listed here. If she announces something, check her official social accounts first.
Raini Rodriguez Net Worth
No verified net worth exists. Online estimates range from about $2 million to $12 million, and the sites publishing them give no method. Some contain clear errors, such as crediting her with a reality show she was not on, so none of these figures should be treated as fact.
What can be said is where her income has come from: a five year Disney Channel series, supporting film roles, long running voice work for Netflix and others, and music. Treat any specific number as a guess.
