She never tolerated me falling in love with the mother of my children, Sonia, whom I met very young, when she was ten years older than me.“. He is not the only one to have suffered from this situation, his wife and children were also unhappy.

“Particularly my eldest daughter, who had a hard time seeing me suffer. I had depression. My children have no memories of their grandmother. There were only missed appointments, and it was not for lack of trying to make some when she came to Lisbon where I have lived since 1996“, he clarified.

“I was his thing”: Joao Lança, marked by his disagreement with his mother

The singer’s son will always be marked by his disagreement with the interpreter of Tiroli-tirollà. Since his early childhood, he has suffered from certain behaviors from his mother: “She often snubbed me by justifying herself: ‘You know what the life of a star is…’ It was my father, whom I saw again at the age of 34, who told me that I “had been a child of love, because he had been madly in love with my mother.”

Now the 55-year-old man is doing better: “I know who I am and where I am going. I built myself in response, by founding a family which is my base and my home base, thanks to my wife. I was my mother’s thing, the only man in her life, but she finally gave me the strength to build myself“.
