On the Multishow 2025 Awards carpet, Arlindinho spoke about his relationship with Erika Januza. Without hesitation and accompanied by his mother, Babi Cruz, the singer declared that he felt light, and that the actress had gained space in his heart.
“The heart is happy! There are no labels, there is joy, happiness. She is a beautiful, wonderful woman, I am enchanted by her. I don’t talk much about her personal life, but it is a love, very special. It started as a friendship, it is still a friendship and it always will be. Now we are getting to know each other a little more.”
The romance became official a few days earlier, when the singer left a comment on influencer Vitor Santana’s page on November 26. The message was precisely about the rapprochement between the two, and Arlindinho decided to remove the “we are just friends” speech. He was blunt: “We’re getting to know each other. She’s amazing,” he said.
From stage to cinema
Between one question and another, there was even a subject for the cinema. Arlindinho’s name has begun to circulate behind the scenes of the film about the life of Zeca Pagodinho, which will revisit the samba singer’s journey from his childhood in the Rio suburbs to the samba circles that changed his story. Arlindo Cruz, the singer’s father, is an important part of this journey, and the casting director herself confirmed to this columnist that she does not exclude Arlindinho in the role of the father.
When receiving the award, he commented on the possibility, although his enthusiasm was accompanied by a matter-of-factness.
“I don’t know yet, there is a test. But I’m not an actor, I don’t know if I would have time for that. There are people who are well prepared to do it. I would have to think a lot. Thank God, the schedule is very busy for next year and I don’t know how long it will take to record a film. It wouldn’t fit, but it would be very beautiful.”
