A new couple in town?

Alexandra Saldanha and A.J. Fortin, the Vicious Bonds’ guitarist and official kisser, were spotted in full-on romance mode at one of São Paulo’s most romantic and expensive restaurants, having dinner together just days after their breakfast at Parque Laje. Reliable sources say that on Monday morning, the bachelor even shut down a museum in the city just to stroll around with his “stage partner.”

But with these boys… A “just” is never only a “just,” right?

Could we be witnessing a new power couple emerging in Brazil?

Again?

It seems Brazil really is the land of romance for our boys! First, Guilherme got back together with his great love, Beatriz Lopes. Now it’s A.J.’s turn to fall head over heels – and, of course, the lucky girl isn’t one of us. So let’s dish on what we know: her name is Alexandra Saldanha.

They’ve never been caught in a full-on make-out sesh, but the onstage sparks? Off the charts. And what they do offstage? That’s what has us all obsessed. Every time the Made to Never Break tour rolls into a new town, they sneak off to hit a local landmark –always keeping it on the down-low.

The very first vlog even caught them at Christ the Redeemer in disguise, sharing a cap and practically giggling non-stop. From hidden beaches to chill rainforest hangouts, the vlogs show them exploring cool tourist spots in every state, yet somehow, they’re still flying under the radar.

The buzz is real, guys… candid snaps and those lingering onstage glances have the fandom absolutely buzzing: is this a sizzling new romance, or are they just besties? Now all we can do is stalk every tour update, fanfic the exotic places they’ll visit next, and hope this spark is the real deal. And, seriously, let’s pray Alexandra isn’t just riding our favorite Golden Retriever’s superstar glow!

Love.

Chapter Six – A.J

May our hearts be full like our drinks tonight

May we sing and dance till we lose our minds

We are only young if we seize the night

We Own the Night - The Wanted

“We’re killing it!” Daniele’s smile lights up the whole meeting room at the Sheraton Lisboa, and right next to her, on the projector, is Victor with a glorious little grin. Just like he was the one responsible for our success. “Oh my God, guys. It’s almost unbelievable.” My best friend shakes her head in disbelief.

It’s more than unbelievable.

When our first album flopped, it wasn’t our parents who stepped in to comfort us and figure out how to turn things around – it was Dani. She made it her personal mission to make the band go viral on TikTok. She was sure this strategy would change everything. And I’ll admit, we laughed a little. But the followers started coming, the numbers went up, our songs became trends, and the shows started filling up.

Months later, Victor called us in for a meeting at his office in L.A. We went prepared to argue why we shouldn’t be fired. After all, TikTok was working. But when we got there, our schedule was full for the next seven months, and it really hit us when he announced that we’d be performing on SNL as “the band that blew up on TikTok.”

So, sitting in a meeting with the owner of our band two years later, discussing marketing actions for our firstsong, which hit the top 30 on its release, is way more than unbelievable; it’s like living a dream.

“I guess for us it’s hard to believe.” Richard leans over the table. “But you fought for the band when everyone else had already given up. I don’t think it’s a surprise to you, Shorty.” The nickname makes her smile and look away. Richard smiles back, scratching his unshaved chin.

I don’t understand how Guilherme doesn’t see that these two have something going on.

“I always knew you’d be huge, Big Bear.” Dani throws back a nickname and winks at Rick. The sound of Victor clearing his throat pulls them out of their trance.

Seems like even he knows about them, and Guilherme doesn’t.

“I guess the flowers for believing in you when no one else did are mine too, huh?” our boss mocks.

“Not today, Victor.” Thomas chimes in with a light jab. “You didn’t even wantMaybeon streaming to avoid labeling the band by our time in Brazil.”
