Personal Lives

[edit]

Vitória has responded to speculation about her and Ana's sexualities by saying: "I am totally secure in my sexuality, and Ana in hers. We do not talk about whether we are straight or gay, we simply do not talk about that. The work that we have to deliver to the public is so huge! Why is it more important to know whom I kiss or whom I date?"[9]
