Who is Talita Rocca, Leandrinho’s wife, who allegedly received a R$1.5 million loan from the athlete

In the midst of a legal war between Samara Felippo and her ex, Leandrinho Barbosa, a name appears: Talita Rocca, the athlete’s current wife. The actress says that her ex owes her two months of child support for her daughters, while he lent R$1.5 million to his wife. Many people were surprised to see the girl’s name involved in the family imbroglio, as the two got along well, and Talita even raised her husband’s daughters in the USA, taking the “good stepmother” line.

• Mario Frias sues Samara Felippo for mocking him in a photo and asks for R$20,000 in moral damages

Talita has said nothing about the case so far. But she was harshly attacked on her social media, now blocked from further comments. Having been with Leandrinho for eight years, she has always kept a low profile and kept her married life away from gossip. It’s been like this since she got married in 2019 to the former NBA player and current assistant coach of the Sacramento Kings.

Until the relationship started, Talita had a busy life in the world of fashion. Having graduated in Journalism, she abandoned her career when she was found by a scout and started modeling. In a short time she was already doing international campaigns and went to live abroad.

The 31-year-old native of São Paulo is the mother of two girls with the basketball player, and has always gotten along well with her stepdaughters, as can be seen in several of her posts with them on Instagram. Nowadays, she dedicates herself less to her profession and takes her first steps towards her career as an influencer.

On her profile with just over 120 thousand followers, Talita shares a little about her routine in California, where she lives. Now even a little less, after quite a scare that she went through a month ago: her youngest daughter suffered an attempted kidnapping.

Talita was traveling from Orlando to Sacramento, in the USA, with her two daughters and her brother, when the youngest was almost kidnapped by two men at the airport. She told what happened a day later. While they were waiting for the flight, the family went to eat at a cafe, when little Julia wanted to play in one of those animal machines.

The model advised the girl to go alone, as she could see her from where she was. That’s when she noticed two men heading towards her daughter.

“”I got on (the plane), I was desperate, but I was a bit confused, not understanding, not assimilating what happened. When I was on the plane, I hugged Julia and then I burst into tears at what could have happened. I still get emotional when I talk”, she reported: “It’s a warning for everyone. Be very careful with your puppies!”
