After capturing TV fans’ attention with his portrayal of Pablo Escobar in Netflix’s Narcos 10 years ago, Wagner Moura is back in the awards conversation with another political thriller, The Secret Agent. The 49-year-old actor’s performance has earned him a Golden Globe nomination, making him the first Brazilian man to be considered for the lead actor in a drama category.

As Moura continues his awards season run, who’s been by his side supporting him? That would be his longtime love, Sandra Delgado, who’s not only his partner in life but also occasionally in work. Delgado is set to make her fiction feature debut with The Outsider, which Moura will produce and appear in. So, what else is there to know about this power couple? Read on for a full breakdown of their relationship.

Who is Wagner Moura’s wife?

Delgado is a Brazilian multi-hyphenate like her husband, working as a journalist, photographer, documentary filmmaker, and screenwriter. Per her website, photography is her primary medium as a visual artist, but she also has a number of film projects under her belt. She wrote on the historical drama series Maria Bonita for the Disney+ Brazil channel.

How long have Wagner Moura and Sandra Delgado been together?

It’s unclear when exactly they met, having crossed paths for the first time in college. That puts the beginning of their romance around the mid ’90s, most likely. There are also some outlets that refer to the couple as husband and wife, while Delgado’s own Instagram designates Moura as her partner. But even though it’s unknown when (or even if) they’re married, they have a 19-year-old son, so they’ve likely been together for at least two decades.

How did Wagner Moura and Sandra Delgado meet?

Moura went to journalism school in Salvador, according to the Washington Post, which is where he met Delgado. They got together during Carnival, which she was covered in feathers for. Maura, on the other hand, was shirtless, had a tutu around his neck, and rocked dyed flaming-red hair.

Do Wagner Moura and Sandra Delgado have kids?

Moura spends most of his time in Los Angeles with his three children and wife, though Delgado’s website notes that they also live in Rio de Janeiro. José is 13, Salvador is 15, and Bem is that 19-year-old son we previously mentioned. Moura is currently prepping for them to leave for college. “I’m preparing myself for them to go do their thing, go to college, and I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he told Interview.
