Singer Zé Felipe has suggested on social media that his ex-wife, Brazilian businesswoman Virginia Fonseca, has started a new romance with a racing driver.
In a video posted to his social media accounts, the 28-year-old musician hinted that the 27-year-old influencer had moved on from her recent breakup with 26-year-old footballer Vini Jr.
During the recording, Fonseca told Zé Felipe that he was ruining her reputation. He changed the subject and replied that she had changed, saying she had gone from a singer to a football player and was now with a racing driver.
When Fonseca complained that he was exposing her, the singer went further and asked whether she was now getting involved with a racing driver. Fonseca protested and told him to stop, before Zé Felipe began addressing the driver directly right as the video cut off.
In a second video clip, the singer filmed Fonseca's expression and threatened to reveal something else. She immediately told him to stop, and he joked in the post that he had not said anything.
Formula 1 Grand Prix appearance in São Paulo
Zé Felipe's suggestive posts appeared shortly after Fonseca attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Interlagos circuit in São Paulo last weekend. She arrived at the racetrack by helicopter after leaving a nearby luxury hotel.
For the race day outing, the businesswoman wore a silver jacket paired with black cutout trousers that left skin showing. After joining other celebrities watching the race at Interlagos, Brazil's premier motorsport venue, she also attended a Formula 1 after-party in São Paulo hosted by 22-year-old television presenter João Silva, the son of veteran Brazilian broadcaster Faustão.
Fonseca is one of Brazil's best-known digital influencers and television personalities, as well as the co-founder of cosmetics company WePink. Zé Felipe, the son of prominent sertanejo musician Leonardo, is a chart-topping singer in the sertanejo genre, Brazil's most popular style of country music, while Vini Jr. is a forward for Spanish football club Real Madrid and the Brazil national team.
Breakup with Vini Jr. and Miami trip with Zé Felipe
Zé Felipe suggested in his videos that Fonseca had changed during her relationship with Vini Jr., which ended in October after roughly four months together, and had changed again amid a possible romance with a motorsport driver. Fonseca's press office confirmed the end of her relationship with the footballer to CNN Brasil, in a report with information from journalist Ana Beatriz Dias.
Together since 2020, Fonseca and Zé Felipe married in an intimate ceremony in March 2021 and share three children. In May 2025, four years after their wedding, the couple announced an amicable separation and said they would maintain good relations for the sake of their children.
Following her split from Vini Jr., Fonseca has been seen more frequently in the company of her ex-husband, including on a trip to visit him in Miami where the former couple spent time together with their three children. Neither Fonseca nor Zé Felipe has commented on the possibility of getting back together.
