Gilberto Gil's Daughter-in-Law, Mãeana, Talks About Raising Children Without Pressure About the Future: 'They Are Heirs'

extra9 September 2026 at 08:03

Mãeana, a singer married to Bem Gil, Gilberto Gil's son, revealed in an interview on the podcast "Desculpincomodar" that she had to break away from family pressure patterns. She explained that she came from a very strict upbringing and had to "blow it all up" before discovering herself as an artist. That's why she reflects deeply about how to raise her own children.

The mother of Dom, 14, and Sereno, 9, says she passes on a different message to her children. She tells them they can be whatever they want, whenever they want, and that they are calm, secure, and are heirs. The intention is for them to be able to enjoy life without the pressure she herself suffered.

Mãeana also commented on Bem Gil, saying he is a very determined heir because no one gave him anything on a silver platter. She specifically mentioned Flora's children, Gilberto Gil's second wife, saying they never had help and nothing for free. The Rio de Janeiro native also recalled a conversation she had with her husband about the subject.
