Ivete Sangalo was born on May 27, 1972 in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil. She is an actress and director, known for Gabriela (2012), Xuxa Gêmeas (2006) and Uga Uga (2000). She has been married to Daniel Cady since May 12, 2011. They have three children. She was previously married to Davi Moraes.
I was born weighing 12 pounds. Imagine the hassle of coming out of my mother.
On stage I'm focused on music only. But if someone screams "All-mighty", "You're hot!" or "You're wondrous!", then I incorporate this mighty, wondrous hottie.
[on her rumored romance with Xuxa] Even if I was a lesbian and so were her [Xuxa], we wouldn't pretend were just good pals. And if we weren't such friends and liked girls, we could be lovers.
[on her sexuality] I'm not a lesbian, but if I was, it'd have to be respected.
[on being a Xuxa fan before becoming close friends with her] My dream was to be one of her paquitas [from Xou da Xuxa (1988)]. I thought if I ever become one it's because I'm pretty. So, I'm not really pretty.
