Priscilla Meirelles embraces new showbiz journey

Priscilla Meirelles, the Brazilian beauty queen who captured Filipino hearts after her Miss Earth 2004 win, is embracing a thrilling new phase in her entertainment journey as she officially signs with Viva Artists Agency (VAA).

The move marks a strategic co-management agreement between VAA and veteran entertainment journalist and talent manager Aster Amoyo, whose roster already includes seasoned and emerging names such as Jay Manalo, Rhen Escaño, Cristina Gonzales, and Rey “PJ” Abellana. With this partnership, Priscilla is poised for a career renaissance, this time with renewed focus and creative direction.

When asked if she is willing to work with former husband John Estrada, the Brazilian beauty answered: “Why not?! Gusto ko na scene yung sasampalin ko siya! (laughs), John and I we are now co-parenting we resoect each other now we were together married for 14 years, together for 18 years.”

Best known for her successful run in the global pageant circuit, Priscilla first earned international acclaim after bagging the Miss Globe International crown for Brazil in 2003. She solidified her status as a global beauty ambassador the following year by winning Miss Earth 2004 in the Philippines, a turning point that would eventually lead her to settle in the country and build a life and career here.

Since her transition to Philippine showbiz, Priscilla has worn many hats: model, host, actress, and environmental advocate. She charmed audiences as host of the Miss Earth pageants from 2006 to 2008 and steadily built her acting portfolio with appearances in TV dramas such as Be My Lady (2016), Wildflower (2017), Haplos (2017), and Bagong Umaga (2020).

Now represented by one of the country’s premier talent agencies, Priscilla is eager to further elevate her artistry, particularly in acting and hosting. She joins a powerhouse roster of beauty queens turned actresses under the Viva banner, including Ruffa Gutierrez, Kylie Verzosa, Roberta Tamondong, Cindy Miranda, and Celeste Cortesi.

With her grace, global appeal, and years of experience in front of the camera, Priscilla Meirelles is more than ready for the spotlight once again, this time not just as a queen of beauty but as a woman of talent, substance, and renewed ambition.
