Featuring exclusive photos by renowned photographer Anderson Macedo, the editorial is part of a project that highlights diversity and democratic beauty, showing that “EVERYONE IS IN FASHION and ART IS IN EVERYONE!”
Jakelyne Oliveira, Miss Brazil 2013, has built a solid career as a TV host, model, and actress, captivating her 2.7 million followers with elegance and authenticity. Mariano, from the famous sertanejo duo Munhoz & Mariano, has amassed 3.9 million followers, winning over the public with his charm and charisma — not to mention hits like “Camaro Amarelo.”
They met in 2020 during the reality show A Fazenda 12 and quickly became a symbol of true love, affectionately nicknamed “Malyne” by fans. Five years later, they continue to inspire not only as a couple, but also as style icons, talented individuals, and a true example of genuine connection.
We had an exclusive interview with the couple — check it out below:
Jakelyne Oliveira
1. From Miss Brazil to host and actress, your career has been marked by reinvention. How do you balance your professional ambitions with your personal life, especially under the spotlight?
I believe balance comes from self-awareness and the ability to prioritize each stage of life. I’ve always been very determined when it comes to my professional goals, but over time, I’ve also come to understand that personal life is the foundation of everything. Being at peace with myself, with my family, with the people I love — that gives me the strength to move forward in my career. Of course, living in the public eye requires emotional maturity and knowing how to filter what’s worth absorbing and what’s just noise. The key is to never give up who I am, no matter what role I’m playing — whether on the runway, on TV, or in life.
2. Your wedding was one of the most anticipated events for your fans. What was the most emotional moment for you — the one that made it feel like YOUR fairytale, and not just a spectacle for the public?
It was never a spectacle for the public — it was always our dream. The attention it received was simply because we’re recognized by the media and have fans who, just like us, dreamed of that moment.
My fairytale began the moment I was proposed to, but the most emotional part was when the doors opened and I walked toward Ricardo.
3. Known for your impeccable style, how does fashion help you express your identity — both as an artist and as part of this power couple?
Fashion has always been an extension of my personality. Every look I choose reflects a bit of my mood, the moment I’m living, and the message I want to convey. As an artist, it allows me to play with different versions of myself, to reinvent, to dare. And as part of a public couple, fashion also becomes a form of connection — we inspire each other, complement each other, and have fun with it. It’s almost like telling our story through style, with authenticity and harmony.
Mariano:
4. From “Camaro Amarelo” to being half of Brazil’s most beloved couple, how has love changed your creative process? Do you feel your music is evolving with this new chapter?
Although Munhoz & Mariano became known for more playful and upbeat songs, my personal taste has always leaned toward the romantic. In fact, most of my compositions are love songs. Our relationship has only deepened something that was already part of me — love has become an even stronger source of inspiration!
5. You met during a reality show, where everything is heightened. What about Jakelyne off-camera surprised you and made you realize she was ‘the one’?
She surprised me in every way, you know? People often make the mistake of judging others without truly knowing them. When you see Jakelyne — with all her elegance and poise — you’d never imagine the incredible person she is: simple, humble, generous, loyal, and a true partner. I started noticing all of that while we were still on the show. So by the time we left, I was already completely in love.
6. The fans of 'Malyne' are incredibly dedicated. What was the most unexpected tribute you’ve received, and how does that inspire both of you?
The Malynes are amazing, and the tributes are always incredible — it’s hard to pick just one! What moves us the most is seeing that even five years after the reality show, they continue to support and encourage us. That inspires us to keep pursuing our separate careers and also strengthens us as a couple.
