Childhood: little actress
Bruna Reis Maia (Bruna Reis Maia Marquezine) was born in Rio de Janeiro on August 4, 1995. Her father Telmo was a carpenter and her mother Neide was a housewife who devoted herself to raising her daughters.
In 2003, she enrolled in Globo TV's children's drama school and landed a role in the serial drama Mulheres Apaixonadas, starring alongside Paloma Duarte, Carolina Dieckmann, and Rodrigo Santoro. For her role as orphan Salete, the 7-year-old actress earned recognition from the Contigo Awards and Prêmio Qualidade Brasil (Best Female Revelation). She also received an award for her participation in the theatrical production Cosquinha.

As a pseudonym, Bruna chose her paternal grandmother's last name. According to her, she was very much like her both in appearance and temperament.

While appearing in TV series, Bruna continued doing commercials and participating in Xuxa's children's projects, maintaining their friendship for many years. In 2012, she began to represent the pajamas and underwear Turma da Mel brand.

Bruna Marquezine personal life
Bruna first met football star Neymar in 2011. The famous forward already had a child with a seventeen-year-old girlfriend, but he was single and dove into a new relationship. Their eventful romance lasted about two years and ended largely due to Bruna's parents' disapproval—they believed their 16-year-old daughter was too young for a serious relationship that could harm her career.

Later, media reports surfaced about a wedding supposedly planned for 2018, but in October 2018, the actress announced she was completely done with Neymar, accusing him of baseless jealousy.
