She was a very young mother of her daughter Francisca, who is already a 20-year-old model, who is called “Titi” at home and Kika in the rest of Portugal. She had her daughter with her ex-husband, the pilot Gonçalo Gomes. But five years ago she was a mother again of João“Dju” for his mother, according to the magazine Weekand the result of his relationship with the tourist entrepreneur Antonio Miguel Cardosowho is currently the president of the Vitoria de Guimaraes soccer team.

She had a 12-year relationship with Gonçalo Gomes, including breakups and reconciliations, and canceled the wedding she had prepared just five days before, because the presenter did not see it very clearly and did not feel prepared. Her relationship with Antonio Miguel ended in 2019, although she resumed it this past summer, but it was an unsuccessful attempt. At the end of the year they had already broken up and just a month and a half later, the Portuguese woman has spent a few days in Seville and Écija with our most attractive bullfighter, Cayetano.

Star model and presenter

This lawyer’s daughter, who has six more siblings, was a model when she was young, just like her daughter is now, and came to parade in Portugal Fashion in the year 2000, with the designer Miguel Vieira.

Later, in 2006, her beauty led her to debut on Porto Canal television in 2006, with the program Shelterand later continued with other programs, such as Hello Maria, Who saw you and who saw you, which catapulted her to fame in her country. In 2019 she moved to Lisbon to work at TVI, the Portuguese national television, in the morning testimonial program You on TV!which meant a personal break, since with the change he ended his relationship with the businessman Cardoso.

Since 2021 she is the presenter of the programs Tell me y In family, which is broadcast live on Saturday afternoons. Due to her family and professional situation, the presenter has come to ensure that she is always changing the car she drives between Porto and Lisbon, three or four times a week, to spend more time with her family. Who knows if she will now also cross the Portuguese-Spanish border more often.

However, in the interviews carried out by the media in his country, he has always expressed his intention to keep his private life outside his profession, although he acknowledges that it is difficult due to his fame: “The best position is to say that private life is private – and I want it to remain so – and public life is public life. But it is inherent in the profession. If I don’t want anyone to talk about my private life, I work in a bank from nine to five. I have no illusions. It’s like that all over the world. Why should it be any different in Portugal? It’s obvious they’re talking about my private life and we have to deal with it.” Now, it is also going to be talked about in Spain; sure.
