Fonseca has been spending her days at Fernanda’s house while in Rio to rehearse as the lead drummer (rainha de bateria) for the Grande Rio samba school, which she will represent during Carnival. During her time at the residence, she’s also noticed her children developing a bond with their grandmother.

Fernanda has even accompanied Fonseca to some of Grande Rio’s test events in Duque de Caxias, a municipality in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area. The two have also been working out together.

Fonseca shared on her Instagram Stories that her daughters were swimming with Fernanda, adding, “Mama, poor thing, hasn’t had a minute of peace since the beach. They’ve both stuck to her like glue.”

Fonseca refers to Fernanda as “Mama,” a nickname that emerged after she posted a message exchange with her mother-in-law showing a photo of a prepared lunch. “Me at a massage, my mother-in-law sends (a photo of lunch)… I have an absurd urge to run and eat everything on the table,” she joked.

Fernanda was in Madrid in October, coinciding with the confirmation of Vinícius Júnior’s relationship with Fonseca. Vinícius’s mother, Margareth Serrão, was also present, symbolizing a uniting of families around the couple. The two mothers were even spotted enjoying the sights of the Spanish capital together.

However, some social media users have speculated that all isn’t entirely harmonious. A video circulating on TikTok from a Real Madrid game shows Fernanda watching the match alongside Virginia’s mother, Margareth Serrão. At one point, Fonseca turns her phone to record her mother-in-law, who appears surprised, according to some comments, raising questions about the exposure and whether Fernanda is accustomed to being filmed so frequently.

Fernanda, who generally maintains a low profile with private social media accounts, was the most vocal advocate for her son to address the public after model Day Magalhães revealed intimate conversations she’d been having with Vinícius while he was dating Fonseca. The situation quickly became a major news story, gaining international attention. In response, Fonseca’s team announced that the affair “was never serious” and that the couple “were no longer getting to know each other.”

Following his mother’s advice, as reported by Brazilian publication Extra, Vinícius Júnior publicly apologized via social media, directly addressing Fonseca. “I went through a situation that made me look inward, recognize attitudes that did not represent who I want to be and the type of relationship I want to build,” the soccer star stated in an Instagram post.

After acknowledging the infidelity – and stating in the Instagram post that he had “been careless” and was ready to “start over, without lies, without fights, without masks” – the athlete, with the help of his mother who lives in Rio, sent Fonseca a bouquet of flowers and a letter. The couple quickly reconciled.

Since then, Fonseca and her mother-in-law, as followers playfully call them, have continued to grow closer. In a video posted to her Instagram Stories, Fonseca referred to Fernanda as “enemy of the end,” noting that Fernanda is typically the last person to leave any party.
