11 Celebrity duos that a lot of people think are related, but aren’t

Martins, Alves, Silva, Pereira, and many others are surnames that we hear all the time, in fact, it is very common to hear the same names. When they are very different names, we end up finding it strange and soon we think: “Where does that name come from?”

Celebrities, however, could not escape repetition. Therefore, the awesome.club decided to bring some cases in which, despite the similarities, they are not related. But it doesn’t stop there: in the end, we bring a bonus contradictory: which celebrities are related but do not have the same surname. Check it out!

Due to his surname, many people believe that the actor Lima Duarte is related to Regina Duarte. In fact, this is just a coincidence. Regina was born in Franca, São Paulo, and inherited her father’s name Jesus Duarte. The actor Lima, on the other hand, uses this name as an artistic expression, since his real name is Ariclenes Venancio Martins.

The actor’s first marriage was in 1951 to Marisa Sanches🇧🇷 When she got married, she was already the mother of Débora Sanches and due to her affection for him, she adopted the stage name of Deborah Duarte. And what does all this have to do with Paloma? Paloma is Débora’s daughter, and like her mother, she decided to adopt the surname Duarte.

Caio Castro was born in São Paulo and is the son of Vitor Castanheira and Sandra Castro. Already Carol Castro is from a completely different family: the actress was born in São Paulo, is the daughter of Lucca de Castro and Maria Cecilia Castello Branco🇧🇷

Nuno Leal Maia was born in 1947, in Santos, son of Nelson Machado Maia and Alcídia Leal and became known for being a soccer player and acting on Brazilian screens. Already Melissa Maia de Sousa, was born in 2004, in Rio de Janeiro, daughter of Deborah Maia and Luciano Souza and became known for playing the character Rita in the first phase of the telenovela Avenida Brasil.

Marina Ruy Barbosa is the only child and great-great-granddaughter of a Bahian writer, jurist and diplomat🇧🇷 hence your name. Anyone who thinks that Marina and Benedito are related is wrong, as they are not, since it is just a coincidence that their names are the same.

Rita de Cassia by Sousa Guedes and Monica Guedes cause confusion in the public who are not sure about the relationship between the two. Rita is a famous actress, daughter of Marides Guedes and Antonio Carlos🇧🇷 Monica, despite being an actress and singer, she is not a person widely known by the public and keeps her life private. Public information about her is restricted to her career as a singer, there are no records that effectively prove the kinship and this leads us to believe that this is yet another case of people who have the same surnames. In the same way that happens with thousands of people with surnames “Silva”, “Souza”, “Santos”, “Oliveira”.

Jonathan Grassia Faro and Rodrigo Alcazar Faro have a few things in common: they are singers and actors. But the similarities end there and, as much as we can see physical similarities, they are not related.

Since her debut in Malhação, the actress Olivia Torres is often confused with the daughter of Fernanda Torres🇧🇷 “I even think I look like her. When they ask me, I say I’m a daughter just to see the person’s reaction (laughs) ”, she revealed. Fernanda’s real children are Joaquim and Antonio Waddington.

caroline Paola Oliveira da Silva was born in São Paulo and began his career in the late 90’s, in the program Passa ou Repassa. At that time, Cristiana Oliveira had already reached the peak of his career due to his performance in the soap opera Pantanal. Despite the innate talent of both for telenovelas, the kinship doesn’t exist either.

Jeez, Jeez, it seems that this last name carries a “what” of talent. Elisabeth Maria Silva de Faria, Reginaldo Figueira de Faria, George Loyal Amado de Faria there are just a few people able to prove its power. However, even with strong names and incomparable talents, none of them have blood ties.

The public has long thought that actresses are cousins, but juliana already clarified: “I am not related to Dira Paes🇧🇷 I would love to, I would be so proud to be able to say that she is my cousin. Maybe if we research our ancestors, we’ll find something. She has this kind of indigenous thing and I have an indigenous great-grandfather, who knows. But as far as I know, we are not from the same family.”

Flávio Jose Galvao from France is an actor with a vast career: he graduated in philosophy, but dedicated himself to soap operas. Already Carlos Eduardo dos Santos Galvao Bueno no introductions, right? Despite the repetition of the surname “Galvão”, as is also the case with the late actor Edward galvao, We have yet another case of a total eventuality.

They are actually related, but they don’t have the same last name. It’s understandable? This proves to us how the family is not completely linked to this factor. Ingrid made it very clear on her social network: “Yes, we are cousins. Yes, we’ve been together a lot since childhood. Yes, I’ve loved him since he was little”🇧🇷

Maria and Dinho are second cousins, but Dinho only became aware of the fact much later. “I’ve been his cousin for a long time, but he wasn’t my cousin. He knew now”said Maria. “Our grandparents were brothers, they fought and didn’t speak for years”added the singer.
