Early Life and Education

Grazi Massafera is currently 43 years old. She was born on 28 June 1982 in Jacarezinho, a municipality in the state of Paraná, Brazil. She is one of at least two children; her brother is Alexandre Massafera.

Her mother, Cleuza Soares Massafera, worked as a seamstress, and her father, Gilmar Massafera, was a bricklayer.

From a young age, Grazi showed interest in modeling and beauty contests, participating in child pageants and local events. She won the Miss Paraná pageant in 2004, which led her to represent the state at Miss Brasil 2004, where she placed third and gained the title “Miss Brasil Internacional.”

Personal Life

During Big Brother Brasil 5, Grazi Massafera began a relationship with fellow participant Alan Passos, which ended in January 2007. Soon thereafter, she began a long-term relationship with actor Cauã Reymond.

They never officially married, but lived together and used commitment rings; their daughter, Sofia, was born on 23 May 2012. The couple separated in October 2013 after about six years together.

After that, Grazi dated businessman Patrick Bulus, first publicly in 2016; their relationship experienced on-off episodes until their final split in February 2019.

Later, she entered into a relationship with actor Caio Castro in 2019, which lasted until August 2021.

Career

Grazi’s public breakthrough came in 2005, when she participated in Big Brother Brasil 5 and finished as runner-up with about 40 % of the vote. Immediately afterward she earned a contract with Globo, appearing first as a reporter on Caldeirão do Huck and in other small television roles.

Her acting debut in telenovelas came in Páginas da Vida (2006), where her role was expanded due to her popularity, elevating her into mainstream prominence. She went on to star in Desejo Proibido (2007–2008), Negócio da China (2008), Tempos Modernos (2010), Flor do Caribe (2013), and many others.

A turning point in her acting career was in Verdades Secretas (2015), where she played Larissa Ramos, a model with a dark trajectory including addiction and prostitution. Her performance in that role was widely praised and earned her multiple awards as well as a nomination for the International Emmy Award for Best Actress.

She also starred as the lead actress Paloma in Bom Sucesso (2019–2020), and later participated in Travessia (2022) in a special early role. In 2021, after about sixteen years under contract with Globo, she ended the fixed contract to pursue work under per-project agreements, allowing more freedom in her career choices.

She has also done film and dubbing work: among her film credits are Didi, o Caçador de Tesouros (2006) and Billi Pig (2012). Beyond acting, she has modeled, appeared on magazine covers, and served as a television host for programs such as Superbonita.
