Fernanda Bolsonaro joins Flávio in Miami after helping present him as moderate
Fernanda Bolsonaro arrived in Miami with her husband, Flávio, and their two daughters after he left Brazil following his election loss to President Lula.
Fernanda, a dentist and former Air Force lieutenant, had kept a low public profile before her husband announced his presidential bid in December 2025.
She became a visible part of his campaign, joining major events and appearing in videos aimed at introducing him to voters.
Her role helped present Flávio as more moderate and more open to dialogue than his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro.
She also defended her husband publicly after a dispute between him and his stepmother, Michelle Bolsonaro.
That moderate image contrasts with Flávio’s letter in the United States, which rejected his election defeat and, in early versions, described him as president.
The family is now in Miami, and no further plans are given.

What people are saying
I changed you a lot. I re-educated him. It’s no coincidence that you are the moderate Bolsonaro.
As a wife, I choose to look at what I see every day: a light, respectful, affectionate, restored man and a devoted father to our two daughters.
