With the end of the group, he graduated in Law and then in Gastronomy. He managed a radio station in the interior of São Paulo and also owned a restaurant in Mogi das Cruzes, which went bankrupt.
In 2017, Ricardo was arrested for a debt of R$12,000 in child support. The amount was owed to his first partner, with whom he had a child in 2008.
Today he sells snacks from a food truck. In 2019, having difficulty paying the bills, he publicly asked his followers and celebrities for financial help. “I contacted the direct advisors and went to the social networks of Latino, Ana Maria Braga, Raul Gil, Luciano Huck, Xuxa, Faustão, Rodrigo Faro, Gugu Liberato, among others and no one even responded to me. I even asked my exes -Thum’s companions and nothing. Rafael Ilha refused to lend me R$3,000”, he lamented on Instagram in 2019.
Next to Gugu, Ricardo was controversial when he called the presenter the “love of my life” in 2019. He ended up deleting the section in which he referred to Gugu as such. He then deleted the post.
If I made a mistake, I ask for your forgiveness. We are not perfect, but today, at 48 years of age, I can no longer bear so much humiliation for not being understood by you, for having the chance and the opportunity to have conditions and be helped once again by you, my old friend and love of my life.
