‘I take it as a joke’, says Rebeca Andrade about fans’ support for her relationship with Gabi Guimarães

Since the Olympics until now, many people on social media have enjoyed the interactions between gymnast Rebeca Andrade and volleyball player Gabi Guimarães.

Both have been seen together training, walking and even dancing (see more below). However, their closeness has also led some people to suggest that the two are getting to know each other better.

In a recent interview with Cazé TV, the Olympic champion gymnast in Paris spoke about what she thinks of the comments and the support for a romance. “I take it as a joke, it has to be. I think it’s funny,” she said with a laugh.

“In fact, on TikTok, they were saying: ‘I really want to get in touch with Rebeca’s psychologist because she has a really good head on her shoulders. If it were anyone else, they would be freaking out, but she has a really good head on her shoulders’,” added the athlete.

Before the Games began, Gabi found herself involved in a controversy with her ex-girlfriend, Sheilla Castro. An alleged fake profile of hers to badmouth Gabi was leaked, which generated a lot of comments.

The two ended their discreet romance amidst arguments and an alleged betrayal. Internet users were worried that the dispute could hinder the team’s performance at the Paris Games.
