With 5 ex-husbands, Regina Duarte criticizes the weight of “excitement and passion” in marriage

Regina Duarte gave a delightful interview to Leda Nagle on the journalist’s YouTube channel. In an excerpt, the actress commented on her married life.

“We had an upbringing in which marriage was the result of a passion, and passions, we discover, are enduring. They are not eternal,” she said.

According to the TV star, most couples choose the wrong priorities to sustain their relationship.

“We needed more marriage training. It’s a society, much more than love and lust and things like that. (It must) be the result of two people who have a similar life plan, to face everyday life with this objective, and not simply based on sexual attraction, on a youthful charm that blinds you.”

Regina said she has been married five times. “On paper only the first,” she underlined. “(My husbands) were amazing because they helped me a lot during the time we were together.”

They were the engineer Marcos Flávio Cunha (with whom he had his children André and Gabriela), the director and actor Daniel Filho, the publicist Daniel Gómez (father of his youngest son, João), the television director and director Del Rangel and the livestock entrepreneur Edward Lippincott.

The actress highlighted her extensive love experience. “Five weddings, a formative experience. You say, ‘Now I would be ready for another marriage.’”

“Well, are you ready?” asked Leda Nagle.

“No I’m not. I want to have friends, there’s no way I’d ever get married again,” Regina replied, laughing.

At the moment the artist prefers another type of company. “I have four cats and an employee who has been with me for 43 years and we can manage each other.”

Many of Regina Duarte’s characters contributed to the social struggle for the emancipation of Brazilian women. The main one, without a doubt, was Maria Lúcia, protagonist of the series “Malu Mulher”, broadcast on Globo between May 1979 and December 1980.

Having recently separated, the sociologist sparked debates on the marital taboos of the time, such as moral harassment, domestic violence, the difficulty of raising a daughter alone and the right to sexual pleasure.

Now that I think about it, the challenges are still common to most women in the country.
