Meet Myha’la, who plays Harper Stern in Industry – and just revealed she had a secret wedding

Myha’la broke some big news to fans amid excitement over the new season too. Dropping a carousel of wedding photos with actor Armando Rivera on January 5, she revealed that the pair had tied the knot a year ago. “Sos [sorry] if this is how you’re finding out, promise we didn’t tell most everyone,” she wrote cheekily.

So, what else do we know about Myha’la?

What’s her background?

Myha’la, 29, grew up in San Jose, California, where she was raised by her hairstylist mother, Susan, according to Vulture. The actress called her mum the “life of the party”, adding that all her salon clients “were obsessed with [her]”. There is not much information available about her father, whom she appears to prefer not to talk about. Myha’la attended a Catholic high school, per Byline magazine.

How did she get into acting?

Myha’la had Broadway ambitions since she was six, per her interview with Vulture. At that age, she was doing dance recitals where she’d perform the song “Puttin’ on the Ritz”. When it was time for her to pick a career, she went straight for acting with the support of her mother. “She [her mother] was never concerned about a job [for me]. She just believed that I was going to make it happen. I do attribute that confidence and love for myself to her completely,” Myha’la shared.
