Zélia admits, however, that she was initially strange about the relationship between her wife and Jô Soares, who were married from 1987 to 1998. The presenter even left 80% of the inheritance to Flavia in his will.
“I had a strangeness. I have a history of struggling to be who I am, to be visible, and when she went there (to his house), I felt invisible. But, that was completely cured, to the point where I say: ‘go there and stay with him. Or let’s go. He felt a lot during this pandemic, he stopped seeing everyone, he had gone off the air.”
She says the two met through a mutual friend, at a dinner, long before they hooked up and years after Flavia separated from Jô Soares.

After a while, she was in the hospital having an exam with Jô, and met a doctor who said to her: ‘why don’t you go’. She went to Tokyo, got involved on the trip. We got to know each other better. When he came back, it still took a while, until when we managed to sort out our lives, we stayed together.”
