Fátima Bernardes Reflects on 2016 Split, Citing Respectful Co-Parenting With William Bonner

Her account suggests older children can make a divorce less disruptive.

Overview

  • Bernardes, in a Wednesday interview on the podcast Mil e Uma Tretas, revisited her divorce from Bonner and how their family adjusted.
  • She said the triplets were 18 to 19 at the time of the 2016 split, which meant there were no custody fights or set visitation days.
  • The children moved freely between homes and chose where to sleep, a routine she described as natural and free of house rules about stays.
  • She emphasized that the parents kept mutual respect and the kids never heard either one speak badly about the other.
  • Both have long-term partners now, with Bernardes dating deputy Túlio Gadêlha since 2017 and Bonner marrying Natasha Dantas in 2018.
