Summary written by the Panorama newsroom from the sources listed below. Facts are attributed to the original publications.

Sasha Meneghel announced on Thursday (29) that she is pregnant with her first child, and her mother, TV host Xuxa, reacted with a long post on social media, according to g1.

Xuxa recalled the moment she saw her own mother holding Sasha outside the maternity ward and thought: "One day I'll be the one holding my grandson." She also celebrated the fact that the baby is expected to be an Aries, like her.

In a humorous tone, the host apologized to her daughter for the times she pressed her about dating and then marriage, and for sending videos of children dancing and playing with animals saying "look at my future grandchild." She concluded that her story is now "complete."

This will be the first child of Sasha and her husband, João Lucas, and Xuxa's first grandchild.

The couple married in May 2021, in a ceremony at the host's home in Angra dos Reis, in Rio de Janeiro. They began dating in 2020 and, as Sasha has said, met at the church they attended, growing closer after a missionary trip to Angola.
