Globo presenter Mariana Gross reveals she had heart surgery

Mariana Gross, presenter of ‘RJ1’, a local news program on TV Globo, revealed to her subscribers, this Monday 15, that she recently underwent heart surgery.

“A lot of people ask me, ‘Did you do something?’ (and they answer:) ‘you’re prettier, what happened?’ So I’ll reveal to you: I had plastic surgery, yes, but it was heart surgery. Yes, I was born with a mitral valve prolapse,” he began.

She explained that the disease is common and often harmless. “A lot of people have it, a lot of people live with this disease their whole lives. And in my case, after I discovered it, I monitored it through annual exams and the last exam revealed that surgery was needed to correct it,” he explained.

Little by little, the 46-year-old journalist began to investigate how she was going to proceed and decided to do it in November. “I did it a month ago. Well, exactly a month I had the operation, everything went well, in 20 days I was back at work, full of energy,” he said.

“I went there with fear, a heart operation, how is that going, my God? But no, you really have to go there with fear, and now I’m here to tell you this news, we have this relationship of transparency, really, we have this daily company. You follow me, so, I had to talk, I had to celebrate with you, everything is fine, I’m ready,” she added.

Red-black at heart, Mariana Gross also joked about Flamengo’s recent titles: “Actually, my heart has already been put to the test, hasn’t it? Because I saw football finals in recent weeks and it was perfect, super happy. So everything is more than fine, we are together for 2026, I thank the doctors, the nurses, a kiss to everyone”, he concluded.
