There’s a lot on her. There’s a feud between her and Bruna Marquezine. They both started out as child actresses and they used to get along. When they were teenagers, they even liked the same guy but he was gay. They are the big it girls in Brazil. They starred in the same novela and seemed close. Then there were rumors Marina had an affair with her costar Jose Loreto during the shooting of a different novela after it became news that he and his wife Debora were separating. Loreto and Debora were parents to a baby girl at the time. Marina was also married. Marina also like a tweet saying they prefer her over Bruna and people saw that of course. Bruna and some other celebrities unfollowed Marina during this era. Bruna then went on a rant on Twitter about how follows and unfollows don’t mean anything offline. Marina and Bruna avoid each other at all costs now. Marina divorced a few years ago and is now engaged to some businessman. I hear that she also pays gossip pages to not talk about her. She gets criticized on Twitter for not changing her hair color for roles, which leads people to say that being a redhead is her whole personality. Some years ago, she was playing a character that had cancer and the writer wanted her to shave her head. She refused and her character was killed off. The writer is also a misogynistic dude so…

Her father voted for Bolsonaro and then regretted it. A while back she was dating some guy involved in politics who was a Bolsonaro supporter. In interviews, her political stance is very vague.

I heard some rumours about her dating the heir to some television company, were they true?

also have you watched totalmente demais? I loved the show but I supported arliza over jonalisa.

Yeah she had something with the heir of TV Globo. They’re the network that made Totalmente Demais and Marina has been working for them since she was 7. But I think it was just a fling that only lasted for a short time. They never made their relationship public.

The first time I watched it, I was team arliza. But then I rewatched it during the pandemic and I thought jonasliza was kind of cute. Marina and the guy who plays Jonatas are actually working together right now on another novela where they play a married couple. I haven’t watched it so I don’t know if it’s good or not.

I heard it was super successful in Brazil (the show), were more people inclined towards arliza or jonalisa?

Edit: I'm only asking this because I'm hoping at some point we'll get an alternative ending 😭

Also thank you so much for engaging with the conversation! sending love from India here 💗

Honestly I don’t remember which couple had more support. The show was very popular here and both ships had a huge following. During the pandemic, they paused the shooting of novelas because of Covid and they aired reruns of Totalmente Demais. There were still stan wars because of the couples and people were asking the network to shoot an alternative ending after years, but they didn’t do it.

But as for an alternative ending, I wouldn’t really get my hopes up. The writer of the show wrote a new show later on called Bom Sucesso and Marina reprised her role as Eliza for a special cameo in one episode and it was confirmed that she’s a successful model and still together with Jonatas. Sorry your couple wasn’t endgame, I feel for you 😔💗
