C atarina Manique, participant in the 3rd season of the SIC program, 'Who Wants to Date the Farmer', is already a married woman.

Who is Catarina Manique?

Catarina Manique, 35, is a milk and cheese producer who became known to the general public in 2020 when she participated in the third season of the program "Who Wants to Date the Farmer," hosted by Andreia Rodrigues. She was the first woman to play a farmer and immediately gained significant attention. Catarina, it should be noted, had already been married for three and a half years before joining the program.

Having never found love, Catarina returned in 2022 to participate in the special "Who Wants to Date the Farmer - Everything for Everything" featuring former contestants. It was here that she met António Timóteo, with whom she fell in love and began dating after the final decision in the final episode of the SIC program.

But the relationship ended a few months later, prompting criticism of the farmer who decided to respond to the attacks on social media.

"I'm saddened to realize how cruel people are in always pointing the finger at others without first looking at their own lives. No one should give their opinion or defame me, or call me anything.

It's inhumane to do what you're doing; no one has the right to criticize, speak ill of, offend, or anything. They've been calling me a shepherdess in magazines, and what are they trying to demean me to? I'm a shepherdess, a farmer, and I'm very proud of it. Remember, if all the shepherdesses stop working, you won't eat. I still have meat and milk to eat and drink, and you? Are you going to eat sheets of paper? Think about what you do to people," she said.

"I am me and my life is mine, only I know what's going on in it. My breaking up with António is only our business. We must always think about what's best for us, and it's not because I'm a spoiled brat, or that I don't know what I want, or because I choose too much. Quite the contrary, I know what I want and I know very well what I don't want to go through and what I shouldn't tolerate.

Live your lives without that bitterness in your heart. Stop criticizing others, look in the mirror," he concluded at the time.

"It's inhumane to do what they're doing," laments the former participant of the SIC program 'Who Wants to Date the Farmer'.
