Brazilian singer Anitta has sparked romance rumors with actor Danilo Mesquita after videos circulated on social media appearing to show the pair kissing.
The 33-year-old pop star and the 34-year-old actor were also recently photographed together attending a theater production in Rio de Janeiro, where the musician watched the stage performance from the audience.
Neither entertainer has publicly confirmed the relationship. When questioned about the rumored romance on Saturday the 22nd before performing a concert on her Equilibrivm tour in Niterói, Anitta brushed the inquiry aside, saying that she preferred not to speak about her personal life at that moment.
The singer, celebrated internationally as one of Brazil's biggest musical stars, was performing in Niterói, a coastal city situated across Guanabara Bay from Rio de Janeiro.

In 2021, Mesquita began a relationship with actress Ayomi Domenica, the daughter of Mano Brown, the frontman of the legendary Brazilian hip-hop group Racionais MC's. The pair dated for four years before parting ways.
