Loren has stated :
I learned to speak Spanish later in life. I learned after the age of 10. And I have a really great accent but no, I have family from Mexico and I wanted to be able to communicate with them and my father’s caucasian, so we never spoke it in the home. And then in some ways it was a really great skill because actually now with television spanning the range that it spans it’s a good skill set. I also speak Italian.
