## Reality television career

**Acapulco Shore and Super Shore.** Lozada debuted on television in 2014 as a contestant on *Acapulco Shore*, the MTV Latinoamérica reality series set in Acapulco, and appeared in five seasons intermittently, a run he credits with launching his career.<sup>[2](https://www.telemundo.com/shows/los-50/fernando-lozada-los-50-biografia-rcna84027)</sup> IMDb credits him with 66 episodes of the series between 2014 and 2019.<sup>[9](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10359204/)</sup> His naturalness on screen led MTV to cast him in the first two editions of *Super Shore*, the international version that brought together cast members from the Latin American and Spanish *Shore* series.<sup>[3](https://www.elconfidencial.com/television/programas-tv/2017-08-09/fernando-super-shore-presentador-swipedate_1426954/)</sup> In a 2016 interview with FormulaTV he described himself as "the party ace" and defended the format as involving real responsibilities, including working to pay for the group's expenses.<sup>[10](https://www.formulatv.com/noticias/51992/entrevista-fernando-super-shore-mtv/)</sup>

**Competition shows.** Lozada competed in the fourth season of *Exatlón Estados Unidos* (2020), though he later said a legal problem, the paperwork of his divorce proceedings requiring his signature, forced him to leave earlier than planned after about a month on the red team.<sup>[2](https://www.telemundo.com/shows/los-50/fernando-lozada-los-50-biografia-rcna84027)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[11](https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecauno/la-granja-vip/fernando-lozada-revela-en-la-granja-vip-el-problema-legal-que-lo-obligo-a-salir-de-exatlon/?_amp=true)</sup> In 2023 he was one of the fifty contestants on Telemundo's *Los 50*, where he reached the finalists.<sup>[2](https://www.telemundo.com/shows/los-50/fernando-lozada-los-50-biografia-rcna84027)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[12](https://as.com/us/tikitakas/la-casa-de-los-famosos-4-quienes-son-los-integrantes-confirmados-lista-completa-de-concursantes-n-2/)</sup> He competed in the fourth season of *La Casa de los Famosos* ([Telemundo](https://www.edgepedia.org/telemundo), 2024) and was the third housemate eliminated.<sup>[13](https://sausalito.com/wysiwygfiles/file/63529095517.pdf)</sup> His biggest competition result came in 2024, when he won *La Isla: Desafío Grecia y Turquía*, defeating fellow finalist Marianela Rodríguez in a final of physical and mental challenges.<sup>[1](https://www.sdpnoticias.com/espectaculos/famosos/quien-es-fernando-lozada-creador-de-contenido-y-habitante-en-la-granja-vip/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[14](https://www.milenio.com/espectaculos/television/fernando-lozada-gana-la-isla-este-fue-su-premio)</sup>

**La Granja VIP.** On 18 August 2026, the morning show *Venga La Alegría* announced Lozada as the seventh confirmed farmer ("Granjero") for the second season of *La Granja VIP*, TV Azteca's rural-living reality competition, which premiered on 6 September 2026 on Azteca UNO and Disney+.<sup>[6](https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecauno/la-granja-vip/la-granja-vip-segunda-temporada-quien-es-fernando-lozada/?_amp=true)</sup> His participation paused his hosting duties on *Al Extremo Fin de Semana*.<sup>[15](https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecauno/al-extremo/fernando-lozada-por-que-se-salio-el-conductor-al-extremo-fin-semana/?_amp=true)</sup> Commentators noted him as one of the cast members with the most accumulated reality-show experience, alongside better-known names such as [Niurka Marcos](https://www.edgepedia.org/niurka-marcos) and Manelyk González.<sup>[16](https://www.chismecito.mx/farandula/quien-es-el-integrante-de-la-granja-vip-con-mas-experiencia-en-realities-no-es-niurka-ni-manelyk-20260913-0002.html)</sup>

## Hosting and digital work

In 2025 Lozada shifted from competing to hosting, joining [TV Azteca](https://www.edgepedia.org/tv-azteca)'s *Al Extremo* in January 2025 as the replacement for Alex Bisogno. He told *El Universal* that the move was an opportunity to find a better balance between work and personal life, saying that in a reality show "you are trapped for four months, distanced from the world".<sup>[4](https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/espectaculos/fernando-lozada-prueba-suerte-como-conductor-en-al-extremo/)</sup> Earlier, MTV Latinoamérica had made him the host of the dating show *Swipe Date* (alongside YosStop), of *Aca Play Xtremo*, and of two seasons of *Papi Shore*, a family-oriented series about his life as a father that premiered in May 2021; he has also hosted *Aca Shock* (also written *Acapulco Shock*).<sup>[5](https://epiktalento.epik.com.mx/fernando-lozada)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[17](https://www.infobae.com/america/entretenimiento/2021/05/01/de-acapulco-shore-a-papi-shore-asi-cambio-fer-lozada-de-los-realities-de-desmadre-por-los-familiares/)</sup>

His digital presence centers on fitness. He has competed in bodybuilding events in Mexico and shares training routines and healthy-living content with an Instagram audience of roughly 3.3 to 3.4 million followers.<sup>[18](https://www.infobae.com/mexico/2026/08/18/quien-es-fernando-lozada-el-nuevo-habitante-de-la-granja-vip-2/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://www.tvazteca.com/aztecauno/la-granja-vip/la-granja-vip-segunda-temporada-quien-es-fernando-lozada/?_amp=true)</sup> His YouTube channel, Lozu Life, has been reported with more than 1 million subscribers.<sup>[5](https://epiktalento.epik.com.mx/fernando-lozada)</sup>

## Personal life

Lozada met Triana Lion in 2012, married her in 2020, and their son Leandro was born in 2020; the couple announced their separation in May 2025.<sup>[1](https://www.sdpnoticias.com/espectaculos/famosos/quien-es-fernando-lozada-creador-de-contenido-y-habitante-en-la-granja-vip/)</sup> He has said that after becoming a father, many of his decisions began to revolve around his son.<sup>[1](https://www.sdpnoticias.com/espectaculos/famosos/quien-es-fernando-lozada-creador-de-contenido-y-habitante-en-la-granja-vip/)</sup>
