Brazilian presenter Fátima Bernardes announced that her ex-husband, journalist William Bonner, and their daughter, Bia Bonemer, would be guests on the second season of her videocast, ‘Cá Entre Nós’. The episode was scheduled for release on September 8 on YouTube.

During the appearance, Bonner addressed public perceptions regarding his 2016 divorce from Bernardes. He rejected the notion that their separation indicated a failed relationship, noting that they shared 26 years of marriage and maintained harmony and respect. Bonner argued against the societal expectation that a marriage must last until death to be successful, explaining that they separated because their “life projects no longer aligned.”

Reflecting on his professional transition from anchoring ‘Jornal Nacional’ to presenting ‘Globo Repórter’, Bonner described a sense of “despersonalization,” feeling he had become an “avatar” due to decades of intense public exposure. He noted a shift in public interaction following his departure from the news desk, stating he has experienced more affectionate gestures and describing the feeling as being “half a popstar” compared to previous years of facing more frequent hostility.
