## Biography

[edit]

Patricia is the second daughter of the marriage between Silvio Santos and Íris Abravanel, Daniela Beyruti being her older sister. She is the fourth daughter of the presenter, including Cintia and Silvia Abravanel, daughters of the first marriage of Silvio Santos. She has Rebecca and Renata Abravanel as her younger sisters.[2]

Patrícia's predisposition to follow in the footsteps of Silvio Santos in front of the cameras from her childhood could be observed and it always drew attention the few times that she participated in the programs presented by her father or the presenter, Mara Maravilha, when SBT still was called TVS (TV Studios) and operated in the old studios of Vila Guilherme.[2]

In her youth, she studied at the traditional Graded School (São Paulo Graduate School) located in the district of Morumbi and was expelled from school for indiscipline, finishing high school in another school in the city of São Paulo. Patricia suffered from eating disorders in her teens and eventually lived for about 3 years out of the country.[2]

## Personal life

[edit]

She followed Judaism (the religion of her father), but she converted to the evangelical religion following in the footsteps of her mother, as well as her sisters Daniela, Rebeca and Renata, and still attended for years the congregation Vida Nova Church in São Paulo.[2]

In 2004, Patricia married the businessman and current infrastructure manager of SBT Phillipe Carrasco. However, the marriage between the two came to an end in 2010 and soon after she started a relationship with the businessman Marcos Faria, but the relationship came to an end in 2012. In 2013, Patricia began a relationship with the Federal Deputy Rio Grande do Norte Fabio Faria, known for already having related to celebrities like Adriane Galisteu, Priscila Fantin and Sabrina Sato.[3]

On February 7, 2014, Silvio Santos confirmed for Contigo magazine the pregnancy of his daughter, who also confirmed live on Legal Sunday on February 9. She gave birth to her first son, Pedro Abravanel Faria, on September 14, as a result of her relationship with Fabio Faria.[4]

## Kidnapping

[edit]

Main article: Kidnappings of Patrícia Abravanel and Silvio Santos

On August 21, 2001, she was kidnapped in São Paulo and held in captivity for a week, which reverberated throughout the country making her a well-known face in the press, since, like her sisters Daniela, Rebeca and Renata, she was always kept out of the media spotlight by Senor Abravanel (Silvio Santos) and Iris Abravanel. The kidnapping came to be reported by all television stations, including Globo and Record.

The interview given by Patricia on the porch of her father's house in the Morumbi district in the western area of the capital city of São Paulo led her to believe that she might be suffering from Stockholm syndrome because of the words in a pitying and even religious tone related to her kidnappers, vehemently denied by herself in recent interviews.[5]

"In the kidnapping I had a very strong faith experience, I was firm and at peace because I was sure it would work out, and there was no Stockholm syndrome, as was said at the time. Forgiveness is good for those who forgive. "Obviously I was afraid, but could you imagine being bitter because of that? God forbid."[1]
