Marianna Tamborindeguy, daughter of Narcisa and Boninho, builds a career as a psychoanalyst with a master’s degree from PUC-RJ
Narcisa Tamborindeguy criticized her ex-husband Boninho during an interview on the program De Frente com Blogueirinha, shown on the night of November 10, 2025, on DiaTV. The socialite classified the television director as absent in the life of her daughter Marianna Tamborindeguy de Oliveira, aged 38, the result of the couple’s marriage between 1983 and 1986. Narcisa highlighted episodes such as the lack of support when Marianna’s car broke down and the lack of contact after her daughter’s approval at King’s College University, in London.
Narcisa and Boninho’s marriage lasted three years and resulted in the birth of Marianna, the couple’s only daughter. The socialite also mentioned that Boninho pays more attention to his youngest daughter Isabella, aged 18, from his current relationship with presenter Ana Furtado. The statement generated immediate repercussions on social media, with debates about family relationships in the artistic world.
Marianna maintains a professional routine that is distinct from her parents’ public exposure.
- Graduated in Psychology from PUC-RJ in 2009.
- Specialist in Psychoanalytic Clinic from IPUB/UFRJ in 2012.
- Master in Clinical Psychology from PUC-RJ in 2014.
These academic milestones reinforce the professional’s reserved profile.
Marianna’s academic background
Marianna Tamborindeguy de Oliveira began her higher studies at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, where she completed her Psychology course in 2009. Her graduation took place on the PUC-RJ campus, an institution recognized for its emphasis on human sciences. Soon after, she advanced to specialization in Psychoanalytic Clinic at the Institute of Psychiatry at UFRJ, completed in 2012.
The master’s degree in Clinical Psychology came in 2014, again from PUC-RJ, with a focus on deep theoretical approaches. This stage included research guided by Monah Winograd, doctor in psychoanalysis. Marianna avoided the spotlight during these years, prioritizing professional development.
The trajectory reflects continuous dedication to the mental area, without significant interruptions.
Contributions to psychoanalysis
Marianna published the book “For a necessary negativity: trauma, repetition and death drive” in 2014, co-authored with advisor Monah Winograd. The work explores Freudian concepts applied to clinical processes, with analysis of traumatic repetitions. The text gained space in academic circles in Rio de Janeiro.
As a psychoanalyst, she has been working in a private practice since her specialization. Patients describe personalized approaches, based on active listening and interpretation of unconscious drives. Marianna integrates Lacanian elements into sessions, adapting to the Brazilian reality.
Intellectual production includes articles in specialized journals, as contributionsuitions to the Journal of Psychoanalysis at UFRJ. These works address negativity as an essential therapeutic tool.
Discreet family life
Narcisa Tamborindeguy and Boninho got married in 1983 at the Copacabana Palace, in Rio de Janeiro. The relationship ended in 1986, but left Marianna as a permanent link. The daughter grew up among her mother’s social circles, without initial media exposure.
In addition to Marianna, Narcisa is the mother of Catharina Tamborindeguy Johannpeter, born in 1990 from her marriage to businessman Carlos Bier Gerdau Johannpeter. The family temporarily resided in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, during the 1990s. Marianna returned to Brazil for higher studies.
Boninho has other children: Pedro Oliveira, 30 years old, from a previous relationship with Kátia D’Ávila, and Isabella, with Ana Furtado. Family dynamics vary, with Marianna opting for professional independence.
Current professional profile
Marianna has worked as a clinical psychologist in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro since 2015. The office focuses on individual care for adults, with an emphasis on anxiety and depression disorders. She participates in annual congresses of the Brazilian Society of Psychoanalysis, presenting anonymized clinical cases.
The professional avoids personal social networks, limiting herself to academic profiles. In 2023, he contributed to an online seminar on the death drive in the pandemic, with more than 500 participants. This discretion contrasts with the visibility of parents in entertainment.
Repercussion of recent statements
Narcisa’s statements circulated quickly after the interview on November 10th. Online users have discussed parenthood in the context of celebrities, citing similar examples. Marianna has not spoken publicly, remaining focused on her career.
The controversy highlighted King’s College University as Marianna’s personal landmark, approved in a rigorous selection process in 2024. The institution, in London, offers advanced programs in mental health. Narcisa emphasized Boninho’s silence at that moment.
The episode reinforces the contrast between the mother’s public life and the daughter’s private life.
