Valentine’s Day: Camila Queiroz and Klebber Toledo just want to know how to love each other

With the end of recording “Beleza Fatal” (Max), Camila Queiroz, Klebber Toledo and the dogs Céu, Lua, Angel and the cat Belessa are moving, back to Rio de Janeiro. Last year, the two came to São Paulo because of Camila’s work on the soap opera, but Klebber found reasons to accompany her. The two can’t imagine being away from each other for seven months, the time of recording – which, for a couple in love, seems like an eternity.

Together since 2016, when they starred in “Êta Mundo Bom!” (Globo), and married since 2018, the two actually give the impression that they live in admirable harmony. It’s nice to see them talking, exchanging ideas and showing affection.

This Valentine’s Day, Klebber and Camila opened their house (full of moving boxes) and told the F5 who haven’t left each other apart since the first night they spent together, and they always knew they were going to get married. They define themselves as “equal” in their essence and they want to have children, yes (this is the question they hear most, they are used to it). To Whom It May Concern: They are not thinking about opening the marriage.

You started dating in 2016 and got married in 2018. Didn’t it all happen very quickly?

Klebber Toledo: It was totally out of the ordinary, yes, I believe it. (…) Because from the first day we slept in the same bed, we never separated again. So, we’ve been married forever, actually. We were two people from the interior of São Paulo, in Rio de Janeiro. So we have always been, from day one, each other’s family.

Did you get that feeling that you were with the right person from the beginning?

Klebber Toledo: I wouldn’t start a relationship if I didn’t think she was the woman of my life. (…) I believe that from the beginning we felt it was something cool, that it always worked, flowed. We didn’t need anything to be imposed. We always shared the same dreams. Camila also always talked about getting married.

Camila Queiroz: My dream was to get married, have children, be part of a ‘family’, I’m a Cancerian. So I think I always wanted to have my family, I always made that very clear to Kleber. And I think we always looked to the future together, wanting the same thing. This is also the basis of a lasting relationship.

Camila, you got married at 24 years old. Was it early?

Camila Queiroz: Since I was a child, I played with dolls and dreamed of my family, of my home, I was sure I would get married early. (…) And I say this for myself, because I know that especially today, with women taking more and more power over themselves and their lives, we see many choosing not to get married or not to be mothers. Because before it was something that was… perhaps, imposed, right? Oh, when are you getting married? When are you going to date? When are you going to have a child? And today I see that we are freeing ourselves from this, thank God.

This should be the question you hear most. So, once again: do you think about children? Does it bother you that they are so curious about this?

Camila Queiroz: Look, it doesn’t bother me, because it’s my desire to be a mother. If we haven’t had it yet, it’s because it hasn’t happened yet.

Klebber Toledo: Unlike Camila, I thought I was going to stay with my uncle. As I had a very sexist upbringing, and my parents were separated, my father is a very tough guy, I saw this and was a little afraid of relationships too. I didn’t want a relationship to end like this, or to be like the one I saw at home. So, I think I was a little afraid at the beginning, it took me a long time to date, I started dating when I was older. Before, I was even more messy. Then I said, no, the cool thing is having someone. Because it’s too easy for you to be loose, doing what you want. It’s difficult for you to really create a relationship.

Do your families get along?

Camila Queiroz: Yes, they always got along well. They are very similar. They are two families from the countryside, so, it’s the essence, you know? Fighting, hard-working, everyone on minimum wage, unemployed, salaried, everyone who knows that unity is the way.

Seven months ago you moved to São Paulo for Camila to record “Beleza Fatal”. Why did the two of them come?

Camila Queiroz: Initially, the soap opera would be recorded in Rio de Janeiro, and then it started to be recorded in São Paulo. I said: ‘Look, I’m not going to be able to spend almost seven months, eight months living in a hotel in São Paulo, away from my family, away from you, away from our dogs, our lives, our home. And also living on an air shuttle. (…) So, me, Kleber and the dogs came.

Klebber Toledo: But [a novela] It also came at a time when we were already talking a lot about spending time in São Paulo, as a place to work. We were also recording Blind Wedding, I made another film (“Bionics”).

How important is sex in your relationship?

Camila Queiroz: We came to the conclusion that the most important thing is the connection, how much we admire each other. Because I think it goes beyond sex. Sex is important, yes. But that’s not all. Just like love isn’t everything either. I don’t think love and sex sum up a relationship. It’s a combo that includes companionship, everyday life, partnership.

Klebber Toledo: Just imagine if the highlight of your relationship was sex. And the rest? So you’re going to have to keep having sex to be happy, understand?

What do you admire most about each other?

Klebber Toledo: The dimple (on the face), the smell, the hair, the soft body, like, everything, right? Hardworking, honest, dedicated, talented. With dimples… Dimples are a problem, seriously.

Camila Queiroz: How much he is a person who cares about others. And it’s not just me, because with me I’m his princess, everyone knows that, everyone sees it, like the way he treats me, that he takes care of me, but it’s not just that. He treats my mother the same way he treats me. He is always very available to others. In fact, that’s what caught my attention about him, the way he treated the people at our work…

As the years go by, would you consider having an open relationship?

Camila Queiroz: We’ve already debated this issue at home and it’s not for us. It’s not something that we consider healthy for our relationship today. I think it’s a matter of necessity. I wouldn’t know how to deal with an open relationship. I’m really monogamous. We think it’s cool who can do it, who has this open reality. I admire anyone who can do it. But I can’t deal with it.
