María Belén Esteban Menéndez (born 9 November 1973 in Madrid) is a Spanish television personality. She has appeared in various programmes including the long-running Sálvame, a show which has been characterised as junk TV. She is known as "La princesa del pueblo" and as "La de San Blas".
She rose to prominence as a celebrity in 1999 when she ended her relationship with popular bullfighter Jesulín de Ubrique, with whom she has a daughter, Andrea Janeiro Esteban. She began her television career on the Spanish channel Antena 3. In 2004 she followed TV presenter Ana Rosa Quintana to Telecinco.
In 2009 Esteban left El programa de Ana Rosa to participate in a new Telecinco show called Sálvame. Although the show has changed its format over the years, as of 2018 it continues to feature Esteban.
Sálvame, which is mainly a talk show about the private lives of celebrities, has attracted a large audience. The celebrities discussed include the show's panellists, or colaboradores to use the Spanish term, and thus the show has a self-referential (and arguably post-modern) aspect. The intrusive nature of some material has attracted criticism. One complaint regarded the coverage of Esteban's own daughter Andrea, a minor at the time, who had been discussed in the context of custody issues and her culinary preferences. The matter was addressed by the "defensor del menor", a children's ombudsman, who recommended less coverage of Andrea.
