Influencer Luciana Cardoso celebrated her 49th birthday this Sunday (28) with friends and family at her home, and presenter Faustão, her 76-year-old husband, made a rare public appearance. The presence of the veteran, who recently underwent heart and kidney transplants, caught the attention of the guests, including Erika Schneider, a former member of the “Domingão do Faustão” ballet for seven years.
Erika Schneider published several photos of the party on her social networks, showing herself alongside the birthday girl, her former boss and the classic “Happy Birthday” moment. The celebration was also attended by other well-known figures, such as comedian Tom Cavalcante, and former stage assistants, including Carol Miarelli and Nathália Zannin.
In her tribute on Instagram, Erika expressed her best wishes: “Congratulations, Luciana. Happy to celebrate your life! Showers of blessings!” The influencer and former dancer also shared a sequence of videos documenting the festivities.
The friendship and affection for Luciana were highlighted by Carol Miarelli. “Celebrating the life of this most special friend, our therapist, our partner, sister. I have no words to say how special and wonderful you are”, declared Miarelli.
Luciana Cardoso also used her digital platforms to share photos and videos from the event. She received a special tribute from her eldest son, João Silva, 22 years old, who was unable to attend because he was traveling. Married to Faustão since 2002, Luciana is also mother to Rodrigo Silva, 18 years old. The presenter is also the father of Lara Silva, 27, from his previous marriage to Magda Colares.
João Silva dedicated an emotional message to his mother on his Instagram: “Today is your day, my love! Thank you for always being my foundation, my strength and my safe haven. In these last few years, you have been simply essential in my life, and I can’t even imagine what my world would be like without you by my side. I am incredibly proud to be your son. May God continue to bless you with good health, happiness and many years of life. I love you, mom!”
The couple’s youngest son, Rodrigo Silva, also paid tribute to his mother, writing in his own post: “Happy birthday, mom. I love you more than anything.”
