Next, check out some news about Maria da Graça Xuxa Meneghel and see where the Queen of the Shorties are currently.

Alopecia and hair implant

In a chat with Eliana in January 2025, on the GNT channel, Xuxa spoke about the hereditary condition he faces, which ends up causing hair loss.

This condition, called androgenetic alopecia, usually affects men, but can also reach women, and begins to develop in adolescence. The effect on women is often evident around 40 to 50, when hair strands start to get thinner and the scalp can be exposed due to failures in hair growth.

“I took hair from the back of my head and put it up here, in the Sprout, and at the front, at the entrances. I did about 20 days ago. In three months, these wires should fall and others will be born in place,” she explained, saying that she did a hair implant procedure to increase the amount of wires.

“I didn't want to have a lot of hair, I just wanted to have a nice little hair, you know?

According to the artist, she has been using networks to encourage other women to do the implant, as it is seen as a procedure done by men only.

In the same month he had the implant, Xuxa also had functional knee surgery. "My head and my knee bothered me a lot. The shoulders and the feet are cool, still," he said in a joke, referring to the song "Head, Shoulder, Knee and Foot."

Beginning of 2025 full of projects

In an exclusive interview with Caras magazine, Xuxa spoke about her projects for 2025, such as the launch of the Disney+Tarã series, from the 14th edition of the Xuxa Children's Program for Baixinhos, a painting dedicated to the adoption of animals she will lead at Fantástico, Globo, and the last flight of the ship.

Referring to the tour that promises to be one of the greatest of Xuxa's career, “the last flight of the ship,” she said: “Creation is in stern wind. Director Kley Tarcitano and Time For Fun are taking the project off the paper. We are looking for partners and brands to be with us and, I think, will be one of the most beautiful works I will do.”.

Already the “Tarã” series, from the Disney+platform, has everything to bring a new breath to the career of the Queen of the Shorties. Filmed in the state of Acre, production is a fictional adventure about nature and the Amazon rainforest, bringing elements of indigenous mythology and the original peoples.

Maternity

In a 2022 edition of the Angelica Program at HBO Max, Xuxa spoke about her past relationships and her experience of motherhood. She commented on the creation of her daughter Sasha, and how she managed to stay present, even having a demanding career.

The singer and influencer revealed to the audience of Angelica that, after Sasha was born, her relationship with Luciano Szafir suffered from some emotional challenges. Although they are already separated, Sasha's birth caused her to position herself and ask Luciano to move away.

In addition to the emotional issue, motherhood brought other challenges. The balance of your professional and maternal responsibilities was one of the main ones. According to Xuxa, motherhood made her reassess her priorities and turn these challenges into growth opportunities.
