Paulo Coelho Has Been Married to His Wife Christina Oiticica Since 1980
44 years and counting!
Paulo Coelho has been married to his wife, Christina Oiticica.
Coelho is a Brazilian poet and writer who has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2002. He is best known for his 1988 novel The Alchemist, which became a worldwide bestseller.
In fact, it is one of the most translated books in the world. Since then, Coelho has amassed a massive fanbase and his books have often turned into an international bestseller once it releases.
Throughout his journey as an author, his wife, Christina Oiticica, has been there beside him. As a result, to date, they have been happily married.
Here is all we know about Coelho and his married life with his wife.
Paulo Coelho’s married life with his wife Christina Oiticica
As said before, Coelho has been married to his wife since 1980. As of 2024, they have been married for 44 years.
According to the Telegraph, Oiticica is Coelho’s fourth wife. His married life before Oiticica is unknown.
The best-selling author loves his wife and has often gushed about her in interviews. For instance, in a 2018 interview with Time Magazine, he talked about his book Hippie and falling in love.
He said, “I don’t remember not being in love.” He described that he felt different kinds of love with different people and then went on to talk about his wife.
He confessed that he could not live without her and was lucky to have her in his life. He said, “I cannot see my life without my wife. Every time I go to sleep, I look at her, and she is already sleeping. And I say to myself, “Oh my God, this is the greatest blessing in my life, to have found the person who understands me.”
However, it looks like there have been a lot of ups and downs in their marriage. He confessed to Channel 4 back in 2014 how both he and his wife had cheated on each other.

“I cannot tell you I was the most faithful husband on earth, and the same goes for my wife, she had one or two affairs but we were able to overcome,” he said.
So, despite all the odds, it looks like Coelho and his wife have been able to overcome the hurdles their married life has thrown at them. Even though the duo have been married for over four decades, they do not have any children.
They have never talked about having children. The married couple currently lives permanently in Geneva, Switzerland.
Before, they spent half of the year in Rio de Janeiro and the other half at a French country house in the Pyrenees.
Paulo Coelho’s wife, Christina Oiticica
Oiticica, born on November 23, 1951, in Brazil, is an artist. She is renowned for using an exotic neo-concretist technique that blends elements of land art and eco-art, allowing nature to interact with her works.
Emerging from the experimental art scene of 1970s Rio de Janeiro, Oiticica has showcased her paintings worldwide. She resided in Rio de Janeiro until 2003, when, following several journeys to Europe, she chose to split her time between the Pyrenees mountain range in south-western France and Rio.
In France, her work evolved into a collaboration with nature. This happened when she was prepping enormous paintings for a show.

She and her husband had hired a modest room at a basic hotel. Their room was too small to work in, so she painted outside and left the canvases to dry overnight. When she returned the next day, she saw that leaves, twigs, and bugs had fallen on the canvas.
Allowing nature to influence her work, she left it alone, adding her finishing touches. She discovered that natural elements like dust, dirt, leaves, and insects that had become integrated into the canvas provided an unintentional yet unique touch.
Her collaboration with nature, which can be found in most of her work, was formed from this. She leaves her work in woods, river bottoms, within trees, hidden in soil, and so on.
Her exploration of this technique led her to paint in various natural settings, including the forests, valleys, and mountains of the Pyrenees, resulting in her book The Four Seasons. She also buried canvases in the Amazon Rainforest from 2004 to 2005, allowing the humid environment to leave its mark.
In 2005, she continued her work in the Sacred Valley of Ganespura, India. Between 2006 and 2008, Oiticica utilized the Saint James Way, a symbolic pilgrimage route, as her studio.
She created canvases using the surrounding elements such as rocks, rain, snow, soil color, natural pigments, and wax, leaving them planted on the ground and retrieving them months later. Typically, she leaves her canvases in place for nine months (symbolizing a pregnancy) or one year (representing the four seasons).
Her work is mostly based on feminism. Talking about her style of painting, she said, “I currently see art as a path for research, one of the roads leading to the discovery of truth and beauty. I also perceive that beauty is not only to be found in the fine brushstroke of the artist, it is present in the various languages that translate art.”
“The installations that today fill my work, reveal in the symbol of the object as art, the beauty of feminine divinity in all its facets – sexuality, fecundity, maternity, and life,” she added.
Throughout her twenty-year artistic career, Oiticica’s works have graced the walls of over sixty galleries across twenty countries. Notable exhibitions include appearances at prestigious venues such as Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France; Britto Central in Miami, USA; Art Masters Festival in St Moritz, Switzerland; and Infr’action Festival de Séte in France.
Her art has also been showcased at BACI Gallery in Washington, USA; Louis Vuitton in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the 4th Visual Photographs Exhibition at Liège Biennial in Belgium; Mestna Gallery in Ljubljana, Slovenia; the 48th Contemporary Art Exhibition of Montrouge in France; and the National Museum of Fine Arts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Additionally, her works have been featured at the Oscar Wilde House in Dublin, Ireland.

Richard Gadd’s Controversial Romance with Actress Auditioning for ‘Baby Reindeer’
All about his former dating life.
Baby Reindeer was a great hit for Richard Gadd, the creator and star of the Netflix series.
The British black comedy drama-thriller was adapted from Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show and hit the streaming service on April 11, 2024. The 7-episode drama, produced by Clerkenwell Films, was an instant hit and grabbed the attention of millions worldwide.
As Baby Reindeer was based on Gadd’s real-life events, viewers were instantly accustomed to digging deeper into the happenings of the series, mainly relationships. As if that wasn’t enough, his professional conduct was also questioned.
Days after Baby Reindeer hit Netflix, on April 16, 2024, a transgender actress named Reece Lyons came forward on X, claiming she and Gadd dated for a brief period and that she also auditioned for the role of Gadd’s ex-girlfriend, Teresa “Teri,” in the Netflix series.
Lyons never specifically mentioned Gadd or Baby Reindeer in her X thread but an investigation by Deadline confirmed that she was indeed talking about the Netflix show and its creator.
In her X thread, Lyons mentioned that she didn’t believe she was a victim of abuse but acknowledged that Gadd hurt her even if there was no conscious intent to do so. Additionally, she was hurt by Gadd “conflating a work opportunity with a dating dynamic.”
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons first met each other in October 2021. Both of them were in the bar of London’s Bush Theatre after Lyons had performed the one-woman show Overflow.
“I had met him in the bar after one of my shows. He was with a friend; they both approached me after my performance to congratulate me, and that’s when he offered to buy me a drink,” Lyons recalled her first encounter with Gadd on her X thread.
She then stated that she initially thought of declining the offer as she didn’t know Gadd but before she could decline the offer, she recognized him. She claimed that Gadd had followed her on Instagram a month earlier.
It was at that moment she realized that this wasn’t a normal chance encounter. She decided to accept his offer for a drink, after which they began their conversation. “We split off from his friend, and he began to tell me about his upcoming Netflix show that he had written,” she wrote.
Lyons continued her X thread by writing that Gadd had offered her the role of his ex-girlfriend, a trans woman. As per Lyons, Gadd mentioned that he allegedly didn’t treat his now-former girlfriend the best.
When Gadd offered the role, Lyons claimed she was interested in auditioning for the role and told him to contact her agent. Right after that, Gadd allegedly expressed his romantic feelings for Lyons.
Weeks after their first meet, Gadd contacted Lyons and asked her out on a date. She agreed even though she was mindful of the overlap between the romantic invitation and the upcoming audition. During their date, their conversations didn’t turn out well.

After a week, Lyons texted him and ended things prematurely. She told him that she didn’t think the conflation of the upcoming audition for Baby Reindeer and dating each other at the same time was very wise, and Gadd replied that he understood what she meant.
However, things didn’t end then and there between the two, as Lyons claimed that Gadd spontaneously called her two weeks later and expressed his desire to try dating again. When he said that, she felt conflicted as she had previously set clear boundaries and he appeared to understand them.
“‘What if I say, no?’ I asked myself. ‘Does that mean he would feel slighted, and I wouldn’t get the chance to audition?’ I decided to say yes and quickly found myself pulled back into his emotional chaos again,” Lyons wrote on her X thread.
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons had gone on four dates between October and November 2021, before the former decided to end things permanently in December of the same year. As per sources close to Gadd, some conversations about a Baby Reindeer audition might have taken place while the two were dating.
In March 2022, three months after Gadd and Lyons broke up, the latter auditioned for the role of Teresa “Teri” and submitted her self-tape to Nina Gold Casting. However, she wasn’t offered the role and it ultimately went to Mexican actress Nava Mau.
Deadline reported in May 2024 that Gadd had no control over the casting process on Baby Reindeer but provided some feedback on audition tapes to Clerkenwell Films. Likewise, Gadd and Lyons seemingly had a final conversation after the actress for the role of Teresa “Teri” was finalized.
As per Lyons’ X thread, Gadd reportedly consoled her over the phone and mentioned that her audition was exceptional. “But it’s out of my hands. Netflix is looking for somebody who’s already a star,” Gadd reportedly told Lyons.
Sources close to Gadd stated that Lyons was the one who asked him for feedback on her audition on the day of rejection. She then asked him, “But what about us?” to which he replied, “It’s not going to work. You’re too confrontational for me.” “And that was it,” she concluded.
After Lyons went public with her relationship with Gadd, Baby Reindeer’s producer Clerkenwell Films launched an investigation into Lyons’ comments. This investigation revealed that Gadd had not disclosed his romantic liaison with Lyons to Clerkenwell Films.
During the investigation process, Lyons was neither interviewed on the phone nor in person, as Clerkenwell Films believed that her X thread, along with other evidence, was enough. Clerkenwell Films ultimately concluded that Gadd behaved professionally and casting decisions were not compromised.

Lerman recently opened up about the charming way he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Corrigan.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 32-year-old actor shared the delightful details of how he popped the question in an unconventional yet romantic setting – a rowboat in New York City’s iconic Central Park.
He revealed that while in New York, he initially had no concrete plan for the proposal but soon realized he needed a private and intimate setting.
Corrigan, 29, pointed out the rowboats; he thought it would be a perfect idea but discovered that he lacked the necessary rowing skills.
He described how his fiancée ended up doing all the hard work, rowing the boat. At the same time, he sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
As they drew the attention of onlookers amused by the sight of Corrigan manning the oars, he bided his time until they reached a secluded part of the lake.
In that tranquil moment, surrounded by the beauty of Central Park, Lerman seized the opportunity and popped the question to his beloved.
Despite the initial challenges, the proposal went smoothly. Lerman’s heartwarming tale beautifully captures the essence of love, spontaneity, and the willingness to embrace unexpected moments that make memories truly special.

After the heartwarming proposal in Central Park, Lerman and his fiancée, Corrigan, made a stunning red carpet appearance, celebrating their love and future together.
On March 21, the couple graced the premiere of Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones in Los Angeles, radiating joy and complementing each other perfectly with their coordinated looks.
Lerman, known for his role in Bullet Train, cut a dashing figure in a sleek black overcoat and dress pants, adding a touch of sophistication with a silver silk shirt. Meanwhile, Corrigan, stunned in a chic black bandeau dress, exuding elegance and confidence.
Their red carpet debut as an engaged couple came four months after Corrigan took to Instagram to share the exciting news of Lerman’s proposal.

Who is Analusia Corrigan?
Lerman’s fiancée, Corrigan, is a talented artist whose journey has been shaped by her diverse cultural experiences and the unwavering support of her family.
Growing up in San Diego, her frequent road trips to Mexico with her mother instilled in her a deep appreciation for culture, which she later incorporated into her art.
It was her father’s work with the renowned Alvin Ailey dance company in New York City that ignited a new creative spark within her. She viewed the crew as a “window to real people in real life,” an experience she didn’t have on the West Coast.
Her parents played a pivotal role in nurturing her artistic aspirations, always ensuring that she understood the value of the arts and that being an artist was a viable career path.

Her artistic pursuits led her to enroll at the Parsons School of Design, where she initially studied oil painting but later pivoted to graphic design, realizing the challenges of succeeding in the former field.
However, after graduation, Corrigan discovered that her true passion lay not in technology but in creating tangible works with her hands.
It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that Corrigan found her calling in ceramic art, initially selling ashtrays and mugs with unique designs. Her work explores “figurative shapes and their innate matter, language and sensation,” as described on her website.
From lamps and mirrors to wall hangings, Corrigan’s creations are a testament to her talent and dedication.
Now displaying her art at shows and during New York City’s design week, Corrigan has garnered a steady stream of clients. She remains grateful for the opportunity to have her creations grace the intimate spaces of people’s homes.

Lerman and Corrigan’s relationship timeline is a heartwarming tale of love that blossomed from a long-distance connection into a deep, lasting bond.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2020 when they were linked together. However, they kept their relationship relatively private in its early stages.
It wasn’t until August 2022 that Lerman and Corrigan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Bullet Train, marking a significant milestone in their journey together.
Despite the initial distance, with Corrigan residing in New York City and Lerman in Los Angeles, they found a way to make their relationship thrive.
She has provided glimpses into their life together through her Instagram account, which is primarily dedicated to showcasing her exceptional work as a ceramic artist.
However, she occasionally shares endearing snaps of Lerman, who sometimes lends a helping hand in her studio, highlighting the supportive and collaborative nature of their partnership.

From hiking in the Pacific Northwest to immersing themselves in the beauty of Italy, their love has flourished amidst breathtaking landscapes and new experiences.
As their relationship deepened, they reached significant milestones, such as attending Lerman’s co-star Joey King’s wedding in Mallorca together in 2023.
