The presenter, Adriane Galisteu, 49, paid tribute to the driver Ayrton Senna, her ex-boyfriend, this Sunday (1st), the 28th anniversary of the death of the Formula 1 driver in an accident at the San Marino Grand Prix.
Galisteu shared an old photo with the pilot, from the time when the two were dating with the caption: “Forever”. They dated for about a year until the pilot’s death at age 34 on May 1, 1994.
Netizens praised the homage that the presenter paid to the pilot. “You are really wonderful, so much time has passed and you never stopped paying tribute to him. Even married, you never stopped saying the enormous affection and admiration for him! God bless your character, I adore you and admire you so much!”
One person commented on the publication saying that Galisteu was a wonderful companion for Senna. “Maximum respect to you, the wonderful companion of this wonderful icon,” she wrote. Another network user said: “I know how difficult it is, even if [tenha] years past, the pain is the same for you. Feel hugged.”
In 2020, the presenter said in an interview with the YouTube channel “Rap77” that she is proud and pleased to talk about her former teammate and that her son Vittorio Iodice, 11, is a fan of the pilot. “[Ele] you know very well who he is, who he was, that he was my boyfriend, everything I lived through. And he’s already a fan of Ayrton Senna,” he said at the time.
The presenter said that contrary to what people think, she is not bothered to approach the relationship from the past, even in the midst of so many controversies – such as that she was not accepted by the pilot’s family. “There’s no getting away from a story as big, as wonderful and as powerful as this,” she said.
In addition to Galisteu, Senna dated other Xuxa Meneghel and was married to Liliane Vasconcellos Souza. There are also rumors that he had affairs with Monique Evans and Virginia Nowicki, but they were never confirmed.
