– I worked for about 30 years on an official contract. During this period, I traveled a lot, five or six times a year. I promised myself in a conversation with retired Andre that I would only “retire” because of something that stimulated me and made me horny. I worked a lot at Christmas and birthdays. I was lucky, I built my nest egg. Today I have my own channel with my content, recipes and dogs. It’s a luxury for me to be able to choose. This is my “pattern of life” and what I intend to do until Heavenly Father calls me. Then when Laura called I said: “I’m with you”, and she said I would cook – explains Marquez, noting that he had received invitations from other broadcasters to return, but he rejected them all: – The projects were great, but not what I would like to do. One of the proposals was very good financially, but I didn’t want to be on screen every day talking about topics that were not my field of interest.

He says professional chemistry works with Angelica. Furthermore, Marquez has known the entire program team for many years.

-We have a lot of intimacy to play and have fun. This influenced my decision – says, who is cooking live during the show: – I am not just a beautiful body. I’m an oven and stove, not a cook, but I’m a good cook. I have always loved cooking and I love serving food. We find out from the guests what they eat and what they don’t eat. Knowing what can be done, we decide the menu on Monday. Xuxa, for example, is vegetarian, so we prepared a vegetarian dinner. We eat everything, always.

While cooking, Marquez interacts with the guests. In one episode, he confirmed his taste in sex shops and erotic toys.

-I don’t regret anything I said live. I actually commented on this in Faustão a while ago. When I went to Japan I came back with a suitcase full of toys. I never hid my life, I never did anything. I love sex shops and I know people who love them, but don’t have the courage to speak out for fear of judgement. I think people may not agree with that, but they have to respect it. If you find a woman who likes sex shops, you’ll get ten points with me. I like games that spice things up, and there are a lot of fun things that lead to positive experiences most of the time.

At 46, he says he likes solitude, and despite being a “Libra and a romantic,” he is single, “thank God.”

-Being single doesn’t mean you don’t have sex or kiss lips. I was married once, lived together for seven years, and then lived together for another three years. I’ve had great women, great friends, but I’m okay with myself. In order for me to want to date someone, I have to be very restricted. I don’t want to date like a typical couple, that’s not my thing. I was disappointed and I was really disappointed, it’s not about not wanting to suffer. It’s just that I’m older and more mature, I’m not psychologically or financially dependent on anyone and I want someone who’s independent too. What I think is great about a relationship is when people are together for the simple fact of doing good for each other. This doesn’t mean I won’t date anymore, it’s just that the level of demands is rising – he explains, who doesn’t think about being a father: – It’s not in the plans, but the guy over there will say so. No children, no marriage. There can’t be too much bureaucracy, or it can get too complicated. I’m happy alone. And obviously I hang out with interesting people, sometimes I connect with them, sometimes I don’t, and it’s all good.

At home, Marquez enjoys cooking for friends and spending time with his dogs. In July last year, Jorda, aged 13, went missing and shared the suffering with his followers. From Jorda’s ashes, she made a diamond necklace and earrings that she wears in both ears. In January this year, 11-year-old Thora went missing. After the losses, he got two puppies, which brought joy to the house again. He reveals that in this grieving process, he ended up gaining 20 kg, which he actually lost. He had bariatric surgery in 2013 and lost about 80 kg of weight.

— Obesity therapy is not a cure for obesity, people can gain weight back, so much so that I had gain that was closely linked to anxiety. There are also alcoholic drinks. I do my tricks, but you have to have discipline, taught me who quit smoking a year and a half ago. – It was difficult, because memory is daily. Today I don’t feel like it, but there are triggers, for example, when I drink coffee. But my life got better. The mood shifts from water to wine.
