Bruno Freire

Mmm Bruno Freire is a main character, one of the love interests, as well as a player-determined husband for Linda Brown, while also determinately being Esmeralda's father.

He is a music producer, and runs the company Jangada in partnership with Milton and Joana Rodas.

He is the third character to appear in the very first episode, after saving Linda Brown from being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend Kevin at the airport. Beside him were his servants Thor and Dante.

Linda catches Bruno's attention and he tries to get closer, even though he knows there's another man in the game, Rodrigo de Souza. He offers Linda a contract to sing on the Jangada, infuriating Joana and making her jealous.

He tries to help two orphan children from Favela da Rocinha who are running away from the exploiter O Sapo. It is revealed that Joana is the drug dealer O Sapo and that Dante and Thor work for her. Bruno is kidnapped along with Linda and Rodrigo, but are saved by Ronaldo Rojas de Soares.

At the beginning of season 2, it is shown in flashbacks that Bruno traveled to New York and tried to date Linda, but the relationship did not work out and he returned to Rio. She returns a year later, accepting to be Rodrigo's girlfriend.

Milton tries to warn Bruno about Joana's suspicious attitudes towards the financial sector, as the reports don't match, but Bruno is more concerned with making Linda a star. However, during the Music Festival organized by them, the police arrest them on charges of money laundering and drug trafficking.

Joana was the one who blamed Bruno and pretends to be taking care of his release. Milton reasons for Bruno to distrust Joana. He does so, hires another lawyer and manages to get acquitted. He fires Joana.

Bruno then organizes another music festival to be held in Buenos Aires, and once again wants to take Linda. But, the calumnies that Joana made against Linda about her involvement with drug trafficking threatens the realization of the festival. The drug lord José Carabajal alias The Pirate threatens Linda's life after she challenges him on national television, but Bruno hides it from Linda to convince her to travel. When Rodrigo is unable to travel with Linda to Buenos Aires because of a scheme by Danielle Alvarez, Linda thinks that Rodrigo no longer loves her and starts dating Bruno. When he finally shows up and tells the truth, Linda returns to Rodrigo, leaving Bruno devastated.

At the end of season 6, Bruno sees Danielle from a distance with a gun to shoot Linda, he throws himself in front and gets shot, saving Linda. In season 07, we see that Bruno somehow became blind after the bullet removal operation. Linda hires a psychologist named Clara Ferreyra to help him because Bruno's blindness is emotional. With Clara's advice, Bruno can see again. Bruno and Linda start dating again, until he finds out Linda was dating Rodrigo at the same time. The two men become disillusioned and both break up with Linda, prompting her to head back to New York.

Bruno tries to forget Linda with Clara, but it doesn't work. He tries to lead a relaxed life hanging out with several girls and giving interviews to Tadeo Lima to try to improve his image as a proud womanizing and heartthrob. But, Bruno feels something for Linda again when she returns six months later in the company of Paul Forster, another singer who wants to help her.

In season 10, Bruno produces a theatrical play through Jangada and wants Linda as the main actress. Paul realizes that Bruno is using the play as a scheme to win Linda back and insists on being the main actor. However, both Paul and Bruno are suspicious of the play's director, Miguel Costas, but he is reluctant to confess (non-diamond choices) or admits that he has fallen in love with Linda (diamond choices).

Milton warns Bruno about spending on the play, but Bruno is so confident in Linda that he mortgages the Jangada building. Nicole Blanc is hired as an antagonistic actress, and shortly thereafter, fights and private arguments end up in Tadeo Lima's tabloid. Bruno argues with Nicole, as he knows that she is the one who leaks the news, and she withdraws from the play, offended. Bruno replaces her with Sol Machado and the play becomes a success.
