One of the most prestigious professionals in Brazil, journalist and presenter Gloria Maria is celebrating her birthday today. Every year she celebrates the date on her Instagram profile, however without showing something common to those who make a birthday post: her new age.

Being one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the journalist’s career — remembered for the countless reports, memorable interviews and coverage, international trips with several stamped passports and also for the memes — Gloria Maria’s real age was never spoken by the professional’s mouth in interviews.

However, it is not today that this mystery surrounds her life and the curiosity of the public — even Ana Maria Braga has already tried to find out the age of her colleague, without success —, two dates being known.

Now, splash shows how old Gloria Maria is after analyzing more than five thousand publications, exactly 5,123, on the two Instagram accounts of the TV Globo journalist — one without publications since 2013, but followed by her until today by her verified profile — in search of the your birthday posts.

Several posts made on August 15th were found, some on the same day or close, but always at least one remembering the date from 2012 to 2021. None of them with the celebrated age.


Two dates?

Daughter of tailor Cosme Braga da Silva and housewife Edna Alves Matta, Gloria Maria was born in Rio de Janeiro. Her mother, born in 1930 and who died in February 2020 at age 89, would have given birth to her daughter when she was about to turn 19, on August 15, 1949, or nearly 29, on August 15, 1959. .

Yes, these are the two dates that hover over Gloria Maria’s true age, more specifically the years 1949 and 1959, since the date of August 15th is known to everyone.

It was in 2014 that the date of 1949 – today she would be turning 73 years old – gained more strength and repercussion in the identification of the journalist’s age, after an alleged health plan in the name of Gloria Maria was leaked and published by columnist Leo Dias, at the time in the newspaper O Dia.

At the time, Gl贸ria Maria denied that the age disclosed by the columnist was true — she stated that she was 64 years old, not 54. “It’s not my age”, she told the Agora S. Paulo newspaper, as reflected in several websites and newspapers. at the time, like Folha. “Disclosure of my age is not in my interests,” she added.

Months later, she spoke directly in an interview with Leo Dias, who this time set her age at 55 years — she had already had a birthday. “I was born in 1959, baby. Everything that comes out of mine is wrong. They even say I was born in Bahia. That’s what I get angry about. [que eu tinha 64 anos], is a lie. I swear to you on my daughters,” she said, in statements that again echoed on several websites.

In order to check the age and date of birth of the journalist and presenter, splash checked on the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) website where Gloria Maria’s polling place was in the elections. Every citizen can check the information by consulting full name, date of birth and mother’s name.

When searching with the date 1949, the site said that one of the three pieces of information was incorrect. However, when inserting the date of 08/15/1959, the site showed the journalist’s polling place in Rio de Janeiro. This means that, according to the date consulted on the TSE website, Gloria Maria is turning 63 years old this Monday.
