Actor André Gonçalves, 46, and his daughter Valentina, 18, stopped following the social networks after he was ordered under house arrest for not paying the full amount of the alimony. The lawsuit is filed by the young woman’s ex-wife and mother, actress and journalist Cynthia Benini.
After the court decision, the ex-wife published in Instagram stories a photo of her lying with her head on the pillow and an indirect message to the actor. “Nothing better than putting your head on the pillow and being able to thank God.”
Attorney Sylvio Guerra stated that the actor has not paid the full amount of his daughter’s child support in recent years because he is unemployed. The actor was ordered under house arrest this Tuesday (23) by the Santa Catarina Courts in a lawsuit filed by his ex-wife and the girl’s mother.
The sentence determines that Gonçalves is monitored by electronic ankle bracelets and is under house arrest for a period of 60 days. “He will comply with that decision,” said the lawyer.
The actor’s debt for non-payment of the pension is R$352,000. He had been in default since 2017. Segundo Guerra, Gonçalves always fulfilled his commitments to Valentina and her other two children during the long period in which he was hired by Globo — the discount was made on the payroll.
But since 2016, when he was fired from the broadcaster and became unemployed, he was no longer able to pay the full pension. “And it was accumulating. [No período] He did some theater plays, did the Dance of the Famous, and all that he deposited for his children. But he couldn’t pay the full amount of the pension, but he never failed to deposit something,” he explained. The lawyer added that they are going to try to reach an agreement for the payment of the debt.
Gonçalves and Benini met at the second edition of Casa dos Artistas (SBT), in 2002. They stayed together until 2006. The actor is also the father of Manuela, 23, from his relationship with actress Tereza Seiblitz, and Pedro Arthur, 19 , with Myrian Rios. Since 2016, the actor is with Danielle Winits.
