Brazilian pop star Anitta has caught the attention of fans after praising actor Danilo Mesquita on social media, fueling fresh speculation about their romantic relationship.
The 33-year-old singer left comments from both her verified professional profile and her private personal account beneath photos posted by the 34-year-old actor on Instagram.
Mesquita had shared a gallery of images taken during the launch event for the new season of the romantic comedy series Amor da Minha Vida on Disney+, which quickly drew public compliments from the Rio de Janeiro native.
Writing through her private account, the singer posted that his appearance was a beauty that hurt the eyes. On her official account, where she performs as Anitta, she responded by leaving a sequence of clapping hand emojis.
The music star operates the personal account under the name Larissa, which is her real first name. She regularly uses the private profile to interact with family and close acquaintances while keeping her public professional career separate from her domestic life.
Public Appearances Across Rio de Janeiro
The online exchanges follow several weeks of public sightings that have linked the two Brazilian artists romantically since August 2026.
They were first spotted together attending a concert by veteran musician Djavan at Farmasi Arena, an indoor arena situated in the Barra da Tijuca neighbourhood of western Rio de Janeiro.
Only days later, the pair attended another music performance together in the city centre. They were seen watching the Bahian singer Jau at Casa Savana, a venue in central Rio de Janeiro.
In September 2026, Mesquita accompanied the singer to her formal coronation as the drum queen for Acadêmicos do Grande Rio in Duque de Caxias, a municipality located in the greater metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro.
Carnival Royalty and Undisclosed Romance
The role of drum queen, known in Portuguese as rainha de bateria, is a coveted and prestigious position within Brazilian Carnival culture. The queen dances directly in front of the percussion section during rehearsals and the annual Sambadrome parade competition.
Mesquita is widely known in Brazil for his acting work across television dramas and streaming platforms, while Anitta has become one of the country's most prominent global musical exports, achieving international chart success and award nominations across multiple continents.
Neither Anitta nor Mesquita has officially spoken out to confirm or deny the status of their relationship, leaving fans and followers watching their social media platforms for further developments.
