Virginia Fonseca exits Domingão after planned first‑phase Copa coverage

Virginia Fonseca’s participation in the "Domingão com Huck" segment covering the 2026 World Cup was always intended only for the tournament’s first phase. The program’s direction said future appearances would be evaluated weekly based on her schedule and production needs. After mixed audience reactions and criticism, the influencer was removed from the regular Sunday slots, and presenter Luciano Huck assumed full responsibility for the Copa coverage.

Both Huck and Fonseca posted supportive messages on social media, with Huck stating “the doors are always open” and Fonseca replying that she delivered what was agreed. Fonseca also confirmed that her divorce from singer Zé Felipe was initiated by him, learning of the request through gossip‑site pages. Her mother, Margareth Serrão, reiterated her affection for Zé Felipe, describing him as like a son.

Looking ahead, Fonseca said she will concentrate on her role as rainha de bateria for the Grande Rio samba school during Carnival, while the possibility of returning to the show remains open under the weekly‑review format.
