The meeting between Yvette Sangallo and Daniel Cady happened by chance in 2008, in Baia de Todos or Santos, in El Salvador (BA). As the newly graduated nutritionist was resting on the dock after a swim, the singer approached him — and from there a story spanning 17 years was born. Last Thursday (27), the two surprised the public when they announced that the relationship was over.

At the time, Evetti was living in the famous Morada dos Cardeais building, on the Corredor da Vitória, and she invited Daniel to take care of the menus served at the house. But professional interest soon revealed additional intent. In 2021, the singer participated in “Domingão do Faustão”, on TV Globo, and recalled with humor the day she fell in love with Bahian.

“I looked at him orderly, and he was wearing my swim trunks. Then I invited him to do some work with me, but with bad intentions. Did I really want to know what was in the pantry? I wanted to go to the pantry,” he said, drawing laughter from the talk show audience.
According to her, interest only increased when they started living together. During this period, Daniel accepted the singer’s professional offer: he was the one who bought groceries for Yvette, trained her to cook and took care of all the details of her diet. “He started doing this work with me and I started to fall in love with him, I loved him so much, and then we started swimming.”
Yvette also admitted that she would pretend to be tired and even faint to get the attention of the nutritionist, who remained still out of respect for his work: “Daniel is a very serious, very honest man with many virtues and he was one of them.” Then the artist decided to make the game more explicit: “I put some candles on the floor, put on shorts and said: Brother, that’s enough. Either I fire you and we go to bed, or you will break the rules of your work.”

The first night, he said
Reticent, Daniel never spoke about the relationship. But he made an exception when he participated in the “Bahiacast” program, in which he spoke in detail about the couple’s first night, a memory that went viral.

“Yvette called me and asked, ‘What are you doing today? Let’s watch a movie, I don’t know what…” When I opened the door, I looked at her and she looked at me… And then I said, “That’s not possible… A failure at work, a failure at anything.” So, I hugged her and that was the thing that actually happened on the couch. There was wine afterward and we hugged. This had never happened to me before, this had never happened before. No woman had ever had this level of connection. I kept looking at her face and thinking: “How crazy, right?” And she was laughing.
Intimate and family wedding
The marriage was officially announced in an intimate ceremony held at the couple’s home in central El Salvador. Over the years, Yvette and Daniel have kept their relationship away from major public controversy, despite criticism over their age difference and the exposure of the singer’s personal life, which some saw as a “negative vector.”
However, the couple allowed themselves to play in public. At the Salvador Carnival in 2025, Yvette has not lost her habit of making double-meaning jokes when she sees her husband in the crowd: “Tell me, Papi, if it’s not good for you? (He laughed). He even rolls his eyes. That’s fucking hot! It really is, isn’t it? I’ve been married to him for 17 years, and it’s been 17 years since the log fell. And take it from the boy, and take it from the carnival, and take it from the wood. I love you, daddy!”
This was not the only time the couple’s intimate relationship was revealed on stage. In 2022, during a performance, the singer used a suggestive metaphor of condensed milk when mentioning her relationships with her husband. The details are that Marcelo, his firstborn, who was 12 years old at the time, was on stage. “What is this? There’s a child on stage? My son,” he replied before adding: “My son, what do you think I did to you? Too much condensed milk, father.”

In addition to Marcelo, now 16, Yvette and Daniel have twins Marina and Helena, 7. In 2019, she spoke to TV Globo’s “Tamanho Família” program about her decision to resort to in vitro fertilization after difficulties conceiving.
The actress said: “I wanted to make sure that my pregnancy would continue at 45 years old. I did not want to create expectations of something that would not happen. I went to get vaccinated, and it worked. We found out that they were twins.”
The end of the story of 17 years
Last Thursday (27), Yvette and Daniel issued a joint statement in which they announced that they would follow different paths, but they did not use words such as “divorce” or “separation”, which raised doubts among some fans. The text posted on Instagram reads as follows:
“With great respect for our history and the family we have built, we have decided, jointly and maturely, to follow different paths. We are certain that this is the most cohesive and loving decision for us. The entire process is lived with dialogue, care and deep respect. We have a path that we are proud of and, with much love, we will always continue to be a family. We need to respect this moment. We ask for privacy to go through this transition in the most calm way possible. We remain united in what is truly important: preserving our affection and well-being.” “Our children.”
The ad, which Daniel also shared, was admired by his eldest son Marcelo, a gesture that attracted attention on social media. Even with the relationship ending, the former spouses strengthened their commitment to their family and maintaining a harmonious coexistence.
