In "Quem ama cuida," soap opera by Walcyr Carrasco and Claudia Souto, the characters Dora, played by Mariana Ximenes, and André, played by Henrique Barreira, finally surrender to love. The two declare their love and have their first night of love in the storyline, something highly anticipated by fans of the couple known as "Andora."

In real life, Mariana Ximenes is also dating, but is quite private about her personal life. The actress talked to EXTRA about her way of handling relationships, explaining that she has always been a discreet person and that she dates someone who also values privacy.

According to Mariana herself, she has never dated anyone who wasn't private, and when the two share this trait, it is amplified. She decided, now and then, to share some things because she has nothing to hide, but claims not to follow fixed rules and goes by how she feels in the moment.

Mariana started showing more of the relationship by posting a photo with her boyfriend, executive Tiago Pessôa, at the beach.
