Ivete Sangalo and Daniel Cady announced the end of their marriage of over 15 years on November 27. The couple's eldest son, Marcelo Sangalo, 16, reacted by liking the social media post. The ex-couple emphasized mutual respect and their children's well-being in the statement.
Ivete Sangalo, 53, and nutritionist Daniel Cady, 40, revealed their separation after about 15 to 17 years of marriage. The announcement was made on social media on November 27, a Thursday, through a joint post. In the text, they highlighted the mature decision and commitment to the family.
"With great respect for our history and the family we built, we have decided, jointly and maturely, to go our separate ways. We are certain that this is the most coherent and loving decision for us. The entire process is being lived with dialogue, care, and deep respect. We have a trajectory that makes us proud, full of love, and we will always be a family. We need respect for this moment. We ask for privacy to go through this transition as serenely as possible. We remain united in what really matters: preserving our affection and the well-being of our children.", the statement reads.
The couple has three children: Marcelo, 16, and twins Marina and Helena, 7. Marcelo, known for being reserved on social media, liked the post, indicating he is aware of the news. Fans left supportive messages on his profile.
The breakup reignited online debates about a supposed 'curse' from Ivete's 2020 video 'Localizei', in which several famous couples participated and later separated, including the couple themselves. However, other participants, like Angélica and Luciano Huck, remain together. Ivete and Daniel requested privacy during the transition.
