Mariana Rios is going to be a mother; see photo of her father

Actress and presenter Mariana Rios announced this Thursday (June 19) that she is pregnant with her first child. At 39 years old, she shared the news through a video on social media, in which she appears caressing her belly. The post was accompanied by a biblical quote: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Thank you, God! Thank you, Jesus!"

The baby is the result of her relationship with economist João Luis Diniz D'Avila. Known as Juca, he is 28 years old and is the grandson of businessman Abílio Diniz. His parents are Ana Maria Diniz and Luiz Felipe D'Avila, the latter a former presidential candidate.

In fact, it is worth mentioning that Mariana had been using social media to publicly report her journey up until pregnancy. As she revealed, the couple had difficulty getting pregnant and resorted to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment. In May, Mariana and Juca were diagnosed with a genetic incompatibility, which made the process even more delicate.

Previously, the artist also suffered a miscarriage in 2020, caused by an autoimmune condition. "I have an antibody that is very high in my body, from an autoimmune disease that causes miscarriage," she explained at the time. She reported that, if she had not discovered the problem, she could have suffered serious complications.

Amidst these experiences, Mariana created the project "Basta Sentir Maternidade", aimed at supporting women who face difficulties in getting pregnant. In addition, she launched the book 'Sabedoria de Bolso', with poems and reflections on faith, self-knowledge and other themes linked to personal development.

Currently, the actress is celebrating the new chapter in her life and is preparing to begin her journey towards realizing her dream of becoming a mother. Mariana has been trying to get pregnant for years, and as mentioned, she has only been able to complete her attempts through fertilization.
