Poliana Rocha, grandmother of Virginia Fonseca and Zé Felipe's daughters, posted an Instagram photo of the youngest in school uniform on April 10, following Goiânia’s Child Welfare Council's notification to their school over attendance concerns from frequent travels. This comes after the couple's team responded to the probe and Zé Felipe vowed to limit trips for the children's studies.
The saga involving influencer Virginia Fonseca, singer Zé Felipe, and their daughters Maria Alice and Maria Flor continues. On April 8, the couple's team issued a statement after Goiânia’s Child Welfare Council notified the girls' school, prompted by anonymous complaints about absences due to frequent travels disrupting education—mandatory from age four under Brazilian law. The team cited legal secrecy under the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA) and affirmed availability to authorities.
Zé Felipe had publicly criticized the children's routine, announcing plans to curb trips to prioritize schooling.
On Friday, April 10, Poliana Rocha—paternal grandmother and Virginia's ex-mother-in-law—shared an Instagram photo of the youngest daughter, Maria Flor, in school uniform, with the eldest, Maria Alice, in regular clothes. The post appears responsive to the ongoing scrutiny.
Experts previously highlighted the importance of regular attendance for children's development, noting travels cannot substitute structured education.
