He was raised in Norway, while his grandfather, Rafael Rosell Jr., and his great-grandfather, Rafael Rosell Sr., were both raised in Cebu. Rosell has two siblings and he is the eldest amongst them.

Career

2000–2012: Career in ABS-CBN

During a vacation with his family in 2000, Rosell's mother found out about the auditions at ABS-CBN. He auditioned and got a TV commercial job for Close-Up toothpaste and signed a contract with Star Magic later that year.

In 2002, Rosell was introduced as one of the leading men of Jolina Magdangal, in Star Cinema's Kung Ikaw ay Isang Panaginip.[6] His big break came in 2004 when he was paired with Claudine Barretto on the ABS-CBN fantaserye Marina. In 2006, he was launched as a member of the all-male group Coverboys with Zanjoe Marudo, Jon Avila, Victor Basa, and Jake Cuenca.[6]

In 2007, Rosell won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 30th Gawad Urian Awards for his work in the indie film Rome & Juliet.

He was a part of projects including Rounin, Prinsesa ng Banyera and Maligno. He starred in Status: Single under Viva Films.[6]

Rosell started getting recognition in 2010 when he played Brandon Brazil in the ABS-CBN afternoon drama Midnight Phantom opposite his close friend Denise Laurel.[7] After the success of Midnight Phantom and his team-up with Laurel, ABS-CBN paired them up again in Kristine.[8] The team-up came to an abrupt end when Laurel took a one-year hiatus due to pregnancy, leaving Rosell to be paired up with Jodi Sta. Maria in 100 Days to Heaven.[9]

2012–2019: Dahil sa Pag-ibig and transfer to GMA Network

In 2012, Rosell was reunited with Laurel in another ABS-CBN drama, Dahil sa Pag-ibig.

In August 2012 his contract with Star Magic expired, and he moved to GMA Network. He starred in Temptation of Wife with Marian Rivera.[10]

2019–2021: Return to ABS-CBN

Rosell returned to ABS-CBN after seven years with GMA Network. His resurgence in the said network was in an Ipaglaban Mo! episode.

2021–present: Return to GMA

Rosell returns to Kapuso Network after 2 years for his comeback teleserye, To Have & To Hold.

Personal life

In 2009, Rosell confirmed that he and girlfriend Malaya Lewandowski had broken up after being together for three years.[1][2]
