After months of speculation, Daniela Fagundes Setúbal, the influencer and entrepreneur, has officially announced her separation from Roberto Setúbal, the former president of Banco Itaú. The couple, who entered matrimony during the pandemic, shared the news on social media, marking the end of their four-year marriage.
On December 23, Daniela, who has recently stepped back from her online presence, addressed her followers through a heartfelt video. "My marriage to Roberto has come to an end. We have decided to follow different paths, but we maintain a relationship built on care and respect, especially for our daughter," she explained.
Daniela emphasized the importance of their daughter, Manuela, stating, "She is now, more than ever, our priority, and we will provide her with all the love, attention, and everything beautiful she deserves." The couple was married for four years, having celebrated their anniversary just last month. They welcomed Manuela just over a year ago.
Roberto Setúbal, aged 70, is one of Brazil's wealthiest individuals, with his fortune estimated at R$ 1.4 billion, placing him among the elite of the country's banking sector. Daniela, initially known for her work as a real estate broker, found recognition as the founder of the fashion brand D-Gaia, which launched in 2022 and has attracted notable clientele. Her charm and humor resonate widely on social media, where she frequently shares glimpses of her life.
Following the announcement, fans and followers expressed their support, with many commenting on the couple's evident respect for one another even as they part ways. Daniela sought to placate concerns with her statement, saying, "I haven’t posted recently because I wanted to clarify what was happening. Many have reached out wondering where I’ve been." The video aimed at providing clarity not only about her relationship but also about her future engagements, particularly concerning the well-being of her daughter.
Despite the sad news of their separation, Daniela stressed the importance of family during her update. "I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Enjoy your families, as they are your most precious treasure," she added, highlighting her commitment to maintaining family bonds.
Throughout their marriage, Daniela and Roberto enjoyed a lifestyle marked by luxury and influence, often shared with her followers. Her social media presence boasted over 125,000 followers, where Daniela has chronicled events, fashion, and personal insights. The dynamic shifts with her newfound solo path will likely be of significant interest to her audience and followers alike.
Looking forward, Daniela's fashion label, D-Gaia, continues to gain traction. Known for its stylish and accessible designs, the brand aims to reach broader audiences and remains one of her primary focuses following this life change. Daniela has garnered attention for dressing several high-profile personalities, adding to her rising fame in the fashion world.
While the couple has chosen to maintain privacy surrounding their personal life, their shared commitment to their daughter seems to remain intact. The open and mature dialogue between them sets a positive precedent for their co-parenting approach.
It remains to be seen how both Daniela and Roberto manage their individual paths after such public scrutiny surrounding their marriage has shifted to their separation. The response from followers will likely shape their respective narratives going forward. For now, Daniela seeks to embrace this new chapter with grace and resolve, emphasizing the importance of family and moving forward.
