Three mysteries about the ‘king’: mechanical leg, new girlfriend and fight for inheritance

While sub-celebrities normalize the overexposure of private life to the point of vulgarity, Roberto Carlos keeps his privacy protected. The most popular singer in the country is an example to copy.

Speaking of the artist, the column has selected three topics widely discussed in the press and on social media. There is much speculation and few certainties. Unaware of the rumors, he remains silent and withdrawn in his private bubble.

Mechanical leg – Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (ES), 29 June 1947. On St. Peter’s Day, Roberto Carlos, 6 years old, loses part of his right leg after being hit by a locomotive.

More than seven decades later, he has never allowed his prosthesis, which he has used since he was 15, to be photographed. He always wore tight pants during public appearances. Holidaying on his yacht and on beaches abroad, he was careful not to become the target of paparazzi.

Even if he refuses to talk about the accident in interviews (a position that must be respected, it is worth remembering), Roberto Carlos collaborates with the cause of the PwD community (people with disabilities) being a point of reference for the injured who lead a dynamic, productive and full of affection.

Enigmatic Love – In a press conference in March 2023, the singer revealed news about his love life. “I’m dating, but I won’t say who, no. Not yet. Everything has its time,” he said.

Since then journalists have tried to discover the identity of the woman, his first partner after 25 years of widowhood. Some sites have published some names. Nothing has been confirmed. No photographer or cameraman managed to catch a glimpse of the couple.

Does this girl really exist or is she a joke from the seductive idol? Anything is possible, as it fuels the unknown. Countless fans have not given up: they continue to dream of the possibility of conquering it.

Mourning War – In September 2021, Roberto Carlos buried his youngest son, Dudu Braga. From that profound loss arose the conflict between the widow Valeska, Laura’s mother, and the radio host’s two children from his first marriage, Giovanna and Gianpietro.

In the dispute, real estate, cars, music copyrights and other assets. The singer chose to remain silent. We don’t know if he took sides. Photos posted on social media show that he occasionally meets his daughter-in-law and three grandchildren.

The artist probably gave priority to preserving the memory of his beloved son and avoided getting involved in the controversy, leaving the solution to the lawyers of both sides. But this is just another hypothesis about the mysterious Roberto Carlos.
