Flávia Alessandra’s Fábia Seduces Ulisses in Quem Ama Cuida

I don’t speak Portuguese. I speak bar, a little bad French and the language of a woman in a black bustier standing over a man in an armchair. That one I’m fluent in.

Flávia Alessandra’s Fábia gives her husband Ulisses (Alexandre Borges) a private “lesson” in a black bustier in the viral Quem Ama Cuida clip. TV Globo posted it on Nov. 3, 2026, joking that some go to Dora’s dance class and others to Fábia’s. It passed 300,000 views.

TV Globo’s post: “uns no aulão da Dora, outros no aulão da Fábia.” Nine seconds. The replies were mostly fire emojis and men asking where to sign up.

Who are Fábia and Ulisses?

Quem Ama Cuida is TV Globo’s 2026 nine o’clock novela. Fábia was raised to marry well, and Ulisses, the brother of tycoon Arthur Brandão, was her way out (Extra). What she doesn’t know is that he’s a gambler who’s living off his brother’s allowance and owes money everywhere. She signed up for ballroom dancing at the school run by her friend Dora (Mariana Ximenes) and got close to the teacher, Patrick (Igor Rickli). Ulisses caught them dancing too close, had a jealous fit, and Fábia gave up the lessons to save the marriage (NaTelinha). This clip is her bringing the lesson home.

Confession: I’ve been Ulisses. Broke, lying about it, sitting in a chair while a woman much better than me decides whether I’m worth the trouble. You never are. She does it anyway.

And Flávia Alessandra is 52 and playing it like she’s got nothing to prove, which she hasn’t. Thirty years of Globo villains and comedies and she still walks into a scene and the man forgets his own name. Alexandre Borges just tilts his head back and lets it happen. Smartest acting choice in the novela.

Flávia Alessandra off the set

She’s one of Globo’s longest-running leading ladies: Cristina in Alma Gêmea, Dafne in Caras e Bocas, the villain Sandra in Êta Mundo Melhor! before this. For Fábia she changed her look again (Gshow). Here she is at Balmain in Paris, in the kind of plunging black tailoring that explains a lot.
