With a new boyfriend, Arlindo Cruz’s wife forgave betrayal and son out of wedlock

Married for 35 years to Arlindo Cruz, Babi Cruz has already forgiven her husband’s betrayal. At the height of his career, the sambista had a son out of wedlock, Kauan Felipe, now 30 years old, who lives with his father’s family and was always well received by Babi. At the time she discovered her husband’s “jumping fence”, she chose to continue the relationship.

Babi, 61, is the mother of Arlindo’s two other children: singer Arlindinho, 31, and influencer Flora Cruz, 20. Kauan usually goes to his father’s house, in Rio, and always visits him. He also had a good relationship with his brothers and participated in the Império Serrano parade, which paid homage to Arlindo Cruz.

Journalist defends Arlindo Cruz’s wife about assuming dating, and she replies: ‘How women are judged…’

The story of Arlindo’s betrayal has surfaced now, after Babi took up dating André Caetano, whom she met during the elections last year, when she ran for a vacancy as a state deputy in Rio.

Babi became the target of criticism on the web for assuming the new relationship at a time when Arlindo is in a wheelchair and having speech difficulties, consequences of a stroke he suffered in 2017.

Journalist Driele Veiga made a video remembering that Arlindo had a child out of wedlock and defending Babi’s right to have a boyfriend.

“How women are judged by society”, says the journalist in the video. “As the man who does the same thing is naturalized, the woman is judged, condemned. The sexist society only points the finger at women”, she continued.

In the video, Driele recalls that Babi remained married to Arlindo even having discovered his child out of wedlock, at the height of the sambista’s career.

“Babi has been together with Arlindo Cruz for 35 years. Let’s agree that Arlindo Cruz, at the height of his career, was not a faithful man. He had a child out of wedlock, and Babi was married to him. And she never left him, not even now after the illness. And I didn’t see half of that turmoil at the time Arlindo betrayed Babi”, defended the journalist.

The relationship between André Caetano and Babi was confirmed by the businesswoman last Thursday. The two met during the elections last year, when Babi ran for a seat as a state deputy in Rio.

“I met André Caetano at the time of politics. He was a coordinator and we are starting a relationship. It’s time to think about me. Arlindo is the priority in my life, a priority for my family and, if I have a relationship with someone, whoever it may be, I will have to have Arlindo as a priority” said Babi Cruz in an interview with columnist Fábia Oliveira of the portal “In off”.
