Caetano Veloso

Caetano Emanuel Viana Teles Veloso (born 7 August 1942) is one of the most celebrated musicians of the Brazilian popular music. A best-selling and Grammy-winning composer, singer, and guitarist, Caetano has appeared in the Brazilian media since the late 1960s when he joined the artistic movement Tropicalismo.

Veloso's first wife was Andrea Gadelha, whom he married in 1967 and had two children with. In 1986, after having divorced Gadelha in 1983, Veloso married Rio native Paula Lavigne, with whom he had two more sons, Zeca Lavigne Veloso, born in 1992, and Tom Lavigne Veloso, born in 1997. Paula confirmed to Playboy magazine in 1998 that she was 13 years old when she lost her virginity to the musician, who was 40 years old at the time.[1] Caetano has since been accused of "pedophilia" by those who do not know the actual meaning of the term.[1] Their marriage lasted twenty years, and the two still worked together after their separation in 2004. In 2016, the couple reunited.[2]
