Filipe Bragança says goodbye to João Raul as 'Coração Acelerado' nears its finale
On 11 July 2026 actor Filipe Bragança posted an emotional farewell to his character João Raul, the lead of Globo’s weekday telenovela “Coração Acelerado”. He thanked the role for teaching him courage, music, love and his home state Goiás.
The series will conclude in early August 2026 after roughly 171 episodes. The final chapters will resolve the love triangle involving João Raul, influencer Naiane and the newly revealed secret partner Agrado. João Raul will publicly break off his staged engagement to Naiane, announce his real marriage to Agrado and confront businessman Ronei.
Social‑media drama escalated when a blogger exposed João Raul and Agrado’s kiss on a deserted island, prompting a viral scandal. The plot also follows Gael’s romance with Naiane and several side intrigues.
Earlier reports of backstage tension between Bragança and co‑star Isadora Cruz were denied by fellow actor Thomás Aquino, who said he had never experienced any problem with her.
