Isabella Arantes, who boasts more than one million social‑media followers, began her public career as a ballet dancer on the TV program "Domingão do Faustão" from 2017 to 2021 and later worked on "Domingo Legal" before leaving in February to focus on personal projects.

In addition to her entertainment work, Arantes runs her own bikini‑wear brand.
The marriage marks a new chapter for the couple, who have been linked on social media since June of the previous year and confirmed their relationship publicly in August.
