Daniela Ventura has already admitted in the most watched house in the country that she grew up without her father’s presence. And, in the absence of the parent, it was the maternal grandfather who assumed this role.
With his death she was left helpless and completely lost her ground. “Her grandfather died two years ago and Daniela was very ill. As she never had a father present, her grandfather was the one who played – and very well – this role. My husband was everything to Daniela and she was devastated by his death. Cried for days on end“, Maria Rita told TvMais.
“He had a stroke some time before he died. He became very ill and had many after-effects. It was at that time that we left Angola and came to Portugal. But he couldn’t take it and ended up passing away.“, he continued, revealing: “Daniela was very alone because it was with her grandfather that she vented her feelings, told him all the things. In fact, she always spoke much more to him than to me.“.
In Maria Rita’s opinion, it was this episode that led to a radical decision in the life of the Big Brother 2024 contestant. “With the death of my husband, Daniela was left helpless and it was because of this that she converted to Islam. In other words, she changed her religion because of her grandfather’s death, at least I think that was why. When her grandfather was alive, she still didn’t have this religion, it happened as soon as he left. Maybe I did it because I believed that one day I would meet him again, I don’t know.“.
It should be remembered that on social media there were many dissatisfied comments regarding what was the first salvo of the week.
