Zé Felipe jokes after fans chant ex‑wife Virginia Fonseca’s name at Bahia concert

Brazilian singer Zé Felipe was performing in Ourolândia, Bahia on June 12, 2026 when part of the audience began shouting the name of his ex‑wife, influencer Virginia Fonseca. While speaking with a young fan named Ana Rosa on stage, Felipe said he liked the name and would consider using it for a future daughter. When the crowd shouted “Virginia!”, he replied humorously, “Calm down, I haven’t found the mother yet, I’m still looking,” eliciting laughter.

The incident coincided with Fonseca’s Valentine’s Day post featuring a large red rose bouquet, which drew a heart‑emoji comment from footballer Vinícius Jr. The interaction sparked online speculation about a possible reconciliation, as both Fonseca and Vinícius Jr. were in the United States for the 2026 World Cup.

The episode was highlighted by local media and entertainment outlets, noting the light‑hearted response from Felipe amid ongoing public interest in the former couple’s relationship.
