Brazilian pop star Luísa Sonza, 28, is officially engaged to Portuguese plastic surgeon Luís Ribeirinho, 30. Ribeirinho proposed during a late Friday afternoon getaway at the picturesque Lake Eibsee in Bavaria, Germany, set against the towering backdrop of the Zugspitze mountain. Sonza shared the news on social media, captioned with the phrase, “Sempre foi você. Sim, para sempre!”
Here is the kicker:
- The Setting: The proposal unfolded at Lake Eibsee in southeast Germany, complete with champagne, a single red rose, and a custom ring.
- The Timeline: The couple first crossed paths in late 2023 when Ribeirinho traveled to Rio de Janeiro for a concert, eventually officializing their romance in early 2024.
- The Background: Luís Ribeirinho is wrapping up his final residency year in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery in Munich, having previously worked as a fashion model in Portugal.
From a Rio De Janeiro Concert to an Alpine Proposal
According to coverage from outlets like MAGG and VTV News, the romance sparked in late 2023 when Ribeirinho flew across the Atlantic to catch Sonza live in concert at Rio de Janeiro. By early 2024, the pair formalized their relationship, quietly bridging lives split between Munich, Porto, and São Paulo.
The engagement setting offered a cinematic backdrop far removed from the bustling arena tours defining Sonza’s professional life. Positioned at the foot of Zugspitze—Germany’s highest peak—Lake Eibsee provided crystal-clear waters and dramatic alpine views for the moment. Photographic evidence posted by the artist captured Ribeirinho down on one knee, presenting a ring crowned with a prominent stone before a toast was shared.
Navigating Public Profiles and Professional Demands
While Sonza commands massive digital audiences across Latin America, Ribeirinho has historically kept a much lower profile. For a long time, the portuense surgeon maintained a private Instagram account. However, that digital strategy shifted in August, when he transitioned his profile to public to accommodate an increasingly online medical clientele.
As Ribeirinho noted in updates regarding his practice, contemporary patients frequently vet surgeons via social media before booking consultations. His public platform now serves to explain procedures and showcase daily clinical routines within the strict bounds of German medical advertising laws, which prohibit “before and after” imagery outside direct clinical contexts. Sonza publicly supported the professional pivot, commenting “Sucesso amor” on his updates as their relationship weathered the demands of international schedules.
For Sonza, this marks a new chapter following her high-profile marriage to comedian Whindersson Nunes, which lasted from 2018 to 2020.
