From Favela Roots to Family Man: The Enduring Love Story of MC Poze do Rodo and Vivi Noronha

MC Poze do Rodo, born Marlon Brendon Coelho Couto da Silva, has captivated millions with his music, rising from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to become a prominent figure in Brazilian funk. Beyond his controversial lyrics and public persona, his romantic life, particularly his enduring on-again, off-again relationship with Vivi Noronha, has been a constant subject of public interest, marked by shared history, multiple children, and dramatic reconciliations.

The romantic journey between MC Poze do Rodo and Vivi Noronha began in their adolescence, both hailing from the Rodo favela in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro. They had known each other from their neighborhood, and despite Vivi initially disliking Poze, their connection blossomed. Their first kiss occurred on May 26, 2018, when Vivi was 14 years old and Poze was 19.

Their early relationship was intertwined with Poze's challenging past, including his involvement with drug trafficking, which he later stated he left behind for music. Vivi stood by him during these difficult times, even when he was shot in the leg. She recounted the judgment she faced for supporting him but always believed in better days, as reported by O Globo.

The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Júlia, in May 2019. This period saw Poze's rise to fame, but also his arrest for alleged incitement to crime, corruption of minors, and drug trafficking. Despite the public scrutiny and legal challenges, their family grew.

Their second child, son Miguel, was born in December 2020, further solidifying their bond amidst the complexities of Poze's burgeoning career and public life. However, their relationship was characterized by frequent separations and reconciliations, a pattern that would become a hallmark of their journey.

A significant public separation occurred in May 2021, shortly after they announced Vivi's pregnancy with their third child. Despite the split, Vivi Noronha gave birth to their third child, daughter Laura, in December 2021. This period of separation saw MC Poze do Rodo expanding his family with other partners.

During one of their periods apart, MC Poze do Rodo welcomed two more children with different mothers. Daughter Jade was born to Isabelly Pereira, and daughter Manuela was born to Myllena Rocha. In January 2024, Poze publicly announced the impending arrival of his sixth child, also with Isabelly Pereira, humorously challenging fellow celebrity Neymar to keep up with his growing family.

After a prolonged separation, MC Poze do Rodo and Vivi Noronha publicly reconciled in March 2024. Their reunion was confirmed with a public kiss during a show in Lisbon, Portugal, signaling a new chapter in their passionate and often tumultuous relationship.

The rekindled romance culminated in a highly public engagement. On September 15, 2024, during his performance at Rock in Rio 2024, MC Poze do Rodo proposed to Vivi Noronha on stage, with the engagement rings delivered by a drone. This grand gesture was widely celebrated by fans and media alike.

The couple officially tied the knot on October 26, 2024, in a luxurious ceremony in Rio de Janeiro. Vivi Noronha wore a classic white, off-the-shoulder gown, while Poze maintained his signature platinum hair and a light-colored blazer. Their marriage marked a significant milestone in their long and winding love story, seemingly bringing a period of stability to their relationship.

Despite their recent marriage, Vivi Noronha found herself embroiled in legal issues in November 2024, as she became a target of the "Operation Rifa Limpa," investigating illegal raffles. Poze publicly defended her, asserting her innocence and stating that all prizes from her raffles were legitimately delivered. Their journey continues to be a public spectacle, reflecting the highs and lows of a high-profile relationship rooted in shared history and a growing family.
