Biography edit
Their parents Oscar Fernández and Paulina Alicia Rousse were bank employees. Paulina discovered that she was pregnant with three by taking an X-Ray. Curiously, María Emilia and María Eugenia are twins and María Laura was the last to be born. Their birth caused a sensation at that time since they were the first triplets in Argentina born naturally.
They were born and spent their childhood in the neighborhood of Floresta, Buenos Aires, Argentina and they attended the Instituto Ana María Janer during primary school. Years later they moved to Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina where they attended Colegio Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia.
