Rafael Cardoso Reunites With Children After Two Years of Court-Ordered Separation

Overview

• The actor shared photos and a reflective message about the meeting, describing a day of cooking, painting and swimming, as girlfriend Carol Ferraz publicly celebrated the moment.
• It was the first public appearance with all three children together, including the first meeting between youngest daughter Helena and her older siblings.
• Contact had been barred since 2023 by protective measures linked to an allegation that he invaded ex-mother-in-law Sônia Bridi’s home, with the related cases still under seal and no public detail on what allowed this visit.
• Mari Bridi has said the measures aim to safeguard the children and stated she currently holds temporary sole custody pending legal requirements.
• In a separate matter, a Rio court previously ordered Cardoso to pay R$25,000 in indemnity for a 2023 assault case.
