Kristian Alfonso

A journey often has its fair share of zigs and zags and detours. With that said, Kristian Alfonso began her career as a figure skater, having won a gold medal at the Junior Olympic Figure Skating Championships. By the time she was around thirteen years old, however, an accident had ended her career as a skater, leading her to transition to other endeavors. After modeling for over thirty magazines, Alfonso found her way into the acting scene and has since become most known for her acting credit as Hope Williams Brady in the soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Alfonso has played the role of Hope for three years short of four decades before finally announcing her departure from the soap opera in 2020. Throughout that duration, fans have wondered how the actress has maintained her youthful charm. As it turns out, Alfonso boils it all down to living a healthy life.
