Ariela has mentioned in the show previously that she had some issues about her weight in case anyone pointed it out.
By the end of episode 3, Ariela and Evandro went on a walk by the lake and got intimate, emotionally and physically. Excited about their prospects together, Evandro picked Ariela up vehemently and joked about her weight.
"You're not too heavy."
Ariela's disdain stemmed from deep-seated issues within her, as she claimed to have been bullied all her life about her weight fluctuations.
However, later in life, she decided to get healthier and got bariatric surgery because of her nine-year-old daughter, Victoria. Ariela seemed deeply upset by Evandro's sudden comments as she said:
"It's totally unnecessary to say things like that. It's not cool to say stuff like that about her weight or her appearance."
Evandro in response was patient and affirmed her concerns. Commending her outlook on life, Evandro confessed that he fell in love with her because she didn't value materialistic beauty as much as other attributes. Talking about his own values, he assured Ariela of the same.
"I'm not the kind of person who cares about appearance. That's not what's important to me. I fall in love with souls..."
Trouble in paradise for Love Is Blind: Brazil couples?
Episode 4 of Love Is Blind: Brazil saw the five couples share their first night alone with their better halves.
Couples like Marilia and Patrick, and Renata and Alexandre seemed to be reveling in that fact, as they had no hesitation in getting cozy under the sheets. The couples drank, danced and shared stories, which seemed to help them get intimate with their respective partners.
On the other side of the coin, couples like Ingrid and Leandro, and Ariela and Evandro couldn't get intimate because of different reasons. During the filming of Love Is Blind: Brazil, Ingrid seemed to have made a pact with Vanessa about not getting intimate with their partners on the first day.
The friends seemed to forget about their pact as soon as the sun went down, but Ingrid later revealed that something felt off to her because she couldn't open up to Leandro.
Ariela stated her concerns to Evandro about not sleeping with him during the time of filming. Ariela confessed:
"It's not like I don't want to ... I don't feel comfortable doing it in front of the cameras because I have a daughter."
Evandro respected Ariela's statements, showing concerns about her own daughter watching the show later in life. He decided to respect Ariela's wishes and said:
"If something happens, it should be when we're both comfortable."
Another contestant on Love Is Blind: Brazil, Alexandre didn't believe the couple. Throughout the episode, he claims that he sees no chemistry between Ariela and Evandro and has doubts about the couple's future.
"In my opinion, if you don't have s*x on the first night, it's because one of them didn't measure up."
The five couples even speculated amongst themselves about Ariela having doubts over Evandro and Alexandre's partner was feeling jealous about Ariela having conversations with Alexandre. Alexandre brushed those claims by saying that he saw Ariela more as a friend he felt comfortable talking with.
Ariela further fueled this speculation in a one-on-one interview, where she criticized Alexandre and Renata's future.
"I don't think Renata and Alexandre are a good match."
Whether Ariela sticks with her current match Evandro or not remains to be seen, but with the constant presence of Alexandre around her, the fourth season of Love Is Blind: Brazil is sure to be filled with juicy content throughout its run.
Love Is Blind: Brazil released its first four episodes on June 19 exclusively on Netflix.
