Xuxa Meneghel, the beloved Brazilian entertainer known for her vibrant personality and musical prowess, is back in the spotlight as she prepares to celebrate her 62nd birthday and looks forward to a busy year ahead. Recently, she underwent a successful knee arthroscopy—an outpatient procedure aimed at preventing future issues before launching into a highly anticipated tour.
The surgery, which took place in January 2025, lasted a mere 25 minutes in a São Paulo hospital. According to her advisor Tatiana Maranhão, the operation was a precautionary measure. 'She is taking preventive action because, as we are set to embark on a tour in the second semester, she will be dancing and following a rigorous training routine daily. She thought it best to address it now so she can be 100% fit for the upcoming schedule,' Maranhão explained.
Fast forward to March 2025, and Xuxa has fully recovered. Embracing a healthy lifestyle, she has returned to her fitness routines, which include 5 km walks, physiotherapy, weight training, and pilates. 'I feel great. The knee I had operated on is fantastic, but I've started to feel a little discomfort in my left knee,' she humorously shared. As her 62nd birthday approaches on March 27, Xuxa reflects on her remarkable journey and the accomplishments that fill her with pride.
Mañana will be a multi-faceted event for Xuxa as it coincides with the release of her new album, part of the XSPB series, showcasing her enduring legacy in Brazilian music. 'I take pride in reaching 62 and saying that I didn't make mistakes as a mother. I hope I haven't erred as a daughter, and I'm excited to find out what kind of grandmother I'll be,' she concluded, expressing her heartfelt connection to family and legacy.
This week, Xuxa also received a special homage on the popular television program 'Programa Silvio Santos'. A segment titled 'Sala do Artista' celebrated Xuxa's numerous contributions to entertainment, featuring a set redesigned to look like her iconic 'Xou da Xuxa' show. Fans and guests were treated to a nostalgic experience as Xuxa made a grand entrance in her legendary spaceship, which has become a symbol of her brand.
The show aired on March 23, 2025, and was filled with performances of Xuxa's greatest hits by musical groups 'Grupo Connect Job' and 'Engenharia da Dança'. Classics like 'Tindolelê', 'Lua de Cristal', and 'Festa do Estica e Puxa' resonated with audiences, reminding everyone of her profound impact on Brazilian children's music throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Xuxa has not only captivated young hearts with her joyful melodies but has also sparked immense nostalgia among adults who grew up watching her shows. Her ability to connect with the audience through simple, upbeat, and positive lyrics continues to be a hallmark of her success.
As Xuxa moves into a new phase in her career, her commitment to artistry and engagement with her audience remains steadfast. With her health back on track and an exciting year ahead, fans are eager to see what this icon will accomplish next as she continues to inspire through her music and television presence.
In a world that often changes rapidly, Xuxa Meneghel remains a treasured constant in Brazilian culture, maintaining a deep connection with her fans and a unique space in the entertainment industry. With her new album on the horizon and a legacy that continually enriches the fabric of Brazilian art, Xuxa is poised for another remarkable chapter.
