The announcement of the separation of Ivete Sangalo and Daniel Cady, after 17 years of marriage, had national repercussions and not only because of the end of the union. In the days following this statement, the singer attracted attention by commenting with applause emojis on a message from her ex-husband, which celebrated his participation in the Brazilian Navy’s Legal no Mar campaign. This gesture, simple and cordial, took social networks by storm, where fans began to hope for a reconciliation and praised the maturity of the ex-couple.

Between demands to “fix it” and expressions of support, what garnered the most attention was the public and respectful way in which Ivete showed her appreciation to the father of her children. Instead of silence, indirect or sudden departures, there was support. There was presence. There was respect. This attitude signals to the audience that lasting relationships can be transformed without emotional ties being severed in a hostile manner.
Roberson Dariel, pai de santo and president of the Instituto Unieb, believes that situations like Ivete and Daniel help deconstruct the idea that separations must be traumatic.
“When two people share many years of life, there is a spiritual story there: links, learning, pain and evolution. The end of the relationship does not erase this journey. On the contrary, it invites each person to honor what they have experienced with maturity and gratitude,” he says.
According to him, from a spiritual point of view, the cycles end when the goal of this union is achieved. This conclusion does not represent a failure, but a transition. In long-term marriages, this tends to happen more calmly, because both partners have already gone through many evolutionary processes together.
“Not all separations exist to generate an emotional rupture. Some exist to transform the bond. Love changes form, but it does not need to transform into heartbreak,” he explains.

The position of Ivete and Daniel reinforces this reading. The former couple shows that it is possible to end a marriage without destroying the family and emotional bond built for almost two decades. This respect after the breakup protects the children, reduces emotional conflicts and prepares the ground for the new cycle that each begins.
“When separation occurs without war, a cleaner spiritual field is created. No accusations, no resentments, no open wounds. This allows both parties to remain strengthened and not broken,” observes the expert.
Dariel also believes that maintaining a harmonious relationship after a long separation is one of the greatest signs of spiritual evolution. Indeed, this demonstrates that the people involved understood that the breakup does not invalidate the story; it has just inaugurated a new bond format.
“The friendship that remains, the affection that continues, and the respect that remains are spiritual blessings. People were not always destined to be together forever, but they were often destined to grow together and, later, bless each other from afar,” he says.
The case of Ivete Sangalo and Daniel Cady is therefore not only about the end of a marriage, but also about the way in which they chose to end this cycle. It’s a lesson about public and emotional maturity, about gratitude, and about the possibility of transforming bonds without erasing the past. And he also leaves an invitation: separations don’t have to be battles. They can be respectful farewells that preserve what was good, make room for the new, and honor the trajectory that helped shape who each person is today.
