Married to Renata, he has two children: Quim (Joaquim), 23 years old, from his first marriage and Gabriela, 13 years old, from his current marriage with Renata. Edu is the veterinarian at the Altacyr Ferreira Ranch and his wife is a veterinarian in the rival ranch, Arminho. He and Renata lost their house in the last Petrópolis flood. He currently live in his parents-in-law’s home. His son Quim lives with his mother, Edu’s ex-wife, in Rio de Janeiro. He gets along with his parents-in-law but ends up confronting them over his daughter’s education. What Edu wants the most is to rebuild his house and live with his wife and daughter again.
