Gal Costa: Gabriel Costa’s girlfriend ‘doesn’t need the meager inheritance’, says defense

The bombastic “Fantástico” interview, shown on Sunday (31), with Gabriel Costa and Wilma Petrillo, revealed an unexpected character amid the imbroglio involving Gal Costa’s inheritance. After the singer’s widow mentioned the boy’s girlfriend, who is 30 years older, his lawyer spoke out, refuted the accusations and gave more details about the identity of the woman in question.

“She doesn’t want to talk about her personal life. I met Gabriel’s girlfriend and I consider her an honest person and invaluable support for him in this transition phase. Furthermore, she is a professionally successful person with financial resources. Don’t need Gabriel’s meager inheritance“, declared Luci Vieira Nunes to Splash UOL.

In the Sunday report, Petrillo declared that Gabriel was being influenced by his partner, who in addition to being older, was also the mother of an ex-girlfriend of his. “Gabriel was dating a cute girl, and this woman, who was his girlfriend’s mother, started to seduce Gabriel“, said Wilma. “It is clear that she wants Gabriel to be the heir, and for her to manage his assets. To me, this is quite clear. I don’t blame Gabriel, I’m not angry with Gabriel. Because I know it’s not him, I know it’s that woman“, he added.

Gal’s son denied the allegations. “I don’t want to get too much into this emotional issue in my life. Because I choose who I want to be with, when I want to be“, he explained. “I discovered it and I opened my eyes myself. Then my lawyers helped me and opened my eyes more. So, I didn’t need anyone to influence me, to coerce me, to put me on a path and be against Wilma. I, alone, managed to discover a lot of things“, he concluded.

At the time of the artist’s death, in November 2022, Gabriel was placed under Petrillo’s temporary custody. The widow won court recognition of a stable union with Gal. According to the businesswoman, the two were in a relationship for 20 years, until the singer’s death. However, the boy pointed out that, since his adoption, he had not seen any signs that they were married, although he did not rule out the possibility that the two had a romance.

Gabriel’s defense told Splash that Gal left a mansion in São Paulo, works of art, two luxury cars, jewelry and financial resources in bank accounts in Brazil and abroad. The values ​​have not yet been determined. In the report, Petrillo claimed that the assets are small and that the singer accumulated debts during her lifetime.
