Virginia Da Cunha, former member of the pop group Bandana, celebrated the 26th birthday of her boyfriend, DJ Samir Jaliff, with a heartfelt Instagram post detailing their relationship and the twenty-year age gap between them, lanacion.com.ar reported.
Samir Jaliff celebrated his birthday this Monday. The artist expressed her love for the Mendoza DJ, saying age did not prevent them from supporting each other through difficult times.
Reflecting on how their romance began, Da Cunha wrote about overcoming initial hesitation regarding their age difference.
“When we met, both of us were battered and, although the mind thought otherwise, life showed us that we were ready to hold hands and step out to open new paths using what we had learned,” the artist stated, according to lanacion.com.ar. She added that it was more like a jump, noting that it cannot be any other way when a madman meets another of his kind.
She continued by describing the qualities that drew her to Jaliff. “You are the tenderest, spiciest, most challenging, funniest, most empathetic, bravest, and most companionable person I know,” Da Cunha expressed in her social media post, as noted by tn.com.ar.
She also called him the only person who managed to make a Geminian be completely present and stop looking at the clock to rush off somewhere else, as well as the only one who understands her and enjoys that they are everything.
The relationship has brought stability to her daily routine, according to the singer’s public statements. She thanked him for clearing out his closets to accommodate her belongings and for helping her mind rest. She mentioned that since he appeared she enjoys every day much more and her soul took the reins, adding that everything she lives is sacred because it is aligned to a mission.
Speaking previously about the public scrutiny surrounding their relationship during an interview on the program Agarrate Catalina on La Once Diez, Da Cunha addressed common societal prejudices regarding age disparities. She noted that younger generations often possess a high level of emotional intelligence and communication skills.
When asked about criticisms regarding being with a younger man, she mentioned she has been with men of various ages and explained that people often harbor the prejudice that a younger man cannot contain or provide for a woman.
“You find that the new generations have an emotional intelligence and a capacity to talk about feelings and communicate that older men do not have,” Da Cunha explained during that broadcast, as reported by tn.com.ar.
Continuing her birthday message, she described him as an insolent kid adrift when she met him, but with very clear values and a thirst to transform and flourish that made her admire and fall in love with him. She highlighted his child’s smile and a way of thinking that is a mix of rebel and samurai, calling him a great poet and messenger who is undoubtedly inspiring many.
Concluding her birthday message to Jaliff, the artist expressed optimism for their future together. “Thank you for the bravery and the love to keep growing together. I overflow with love for you. Happy birthday, little Scorpio! Here are 20 moments of the thousands we wove together. May there be many more,” she wrote, adding, Bye, I love you.
