Love knows no age, and Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind Brazil: Never Too Late’ beautifully proves it by focusing on people over 50 who are ready to find meaningful connections. The show highlights that love can blossom at any stage in life if hearts are open. In its fifth season, Silvia Malanzuk and Rivo Abreu discovered a special bond inside the pods. Their connection felt effortless and genuine, and once they chose to pursue a relationship, nothing could stand in their way. Their journey reminds viewers that it’s never too late to take a chance on love and embrace happiness wholeheartedly.
Silvia and Rivo Struggled to Connect After Meeting Each Other
The first conversation between Silvia Malanzuk and Rivo Abreu set the tone for their connection. They bonded over their shared love of physical fitness and were excited to find out that both were into CrossFit. Soon, their conversations deepened as they opened up about their personal lives. Silvia spoke about living with her cats and revealed she had never been married. As a former flight attendant, she explained that reaching this stage of her life was about passion and waiting for the right person, as she wasn’t willing to settle for just anyone. Rivo, meanwhile, shared that he had been married three times and had a daughter living in Paris. Both kept their options open in the pods. Rivo was speaking to two other women, and Silvia had formed a strong connection with Wagner da Silva. When Silvia learned that Fátima Taffo was also talking to Rivo, she stepped back, encouraging Fátima to pursue her connection with him.
While Rivo was surprised, Fátima found the gesture condescending. Eventually, Silvia followed her heart, resumed conversations with Rivo, and even proposed to him. Rivo gently declined, saying he wanted to take time to get to know her first truly. Their playful banter grew stronger with each conversation, and Silvia shared about her work in the adult entertainment industry as well. But Rivo did not mind her work and eventually proposed. Their first meeting in person was pure magic. However, things took a turn on their honeymoon. Silvia was disappointed when the two did not share intimacy on their first night, while Rivo sensed a shift in their dynamic. The situation grew more complicated with the presence of Eliane “Lica” Neri and Leonardo Vicentini, as Lica had talked to Rivo in the pods.
Lica told her friends that Rivo had invited her to dinner after the double date she had shared with the couple. Meanwhile, Silvia was struggling to understand why she and Rivo had not been able to enjoy physical intimacy. She said that on their first night together, he had turned away from her and gone to sleep. Rivo admitted that the spark he had felt in the pods was no longer there in real life. Their disagreement came to a head during a heated argument on the beach, and Rivo said that he was feeling pressured by Silvia’s questions. On the other hand, she insisted she was only expressing her feelings as they had agreed to do. Before leaving their honeymoon, they had a tense conversation which ended with them throwing their rings in each other’s water glasses, and they left the experiment.
Silvia and Rivo No Longer Even Talk to One Another
Silvia and Rivo had a connection in the pods that felt full of promise, but once they met face-to-face, something seemed to shift. Their chemistry, which had once felt natural and easy, appeared to fade quickly, and they struggled to find common ground. Rivo admitted that he questioned whether he should have pursued a relationship with Lica instead, which only added to the strain between him and Silvia. As a result, their relationship became rocky, with communication breaking down and tensions rising. Ultimately, things ended in a dramatic and painful way for both of them.
Since the show, Silvia and Rivo are not in contact in any capacity, and there are no signs of a reconciliation. Rivo shared that meeting Lica confused him, and his chemistry with Silvia eventually faded. He also said that he did not want to fake his feelings for anyone. Silvia, on the other hand, admitted that going through that experience and finding out that her partner had asked someone else out to dinner took a toll on her self-esteem. Since then, she has moved on and feels ready to be in a relationship again. She said that at 63, she doesn’t want to waste any more time and hopes to find the love she truly deserves.
