Virginia Fonseca kissed Stock Car driver César Ramos on November 8, 2025, after the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The alleged romance quickly drew massive public attention across digital platforms. Ramos saw his Instagram follower count increase within a few days, as reported by portal LeoDias.
Fans flooded the driver’s profile with comments, playfully referring to him as “Virginio” and joking about automobile-themed fragrances. According to a report by Tati Siebert published by LeoDias, the model claimed she maintained an exclusive relationship with the driver until two days before the incident and described herself as surprised and hurt by the news, and she subsequently blocked him on WhatsApp.
Business partner Samara Pink teased the relationship on air during a live stream on November 11, 2025. Samara Pink said, “Don't change the subject. Wow, I smell the scent of tires coming!” during the broadcast.
Virginia responded with laughter and acknowledged her preference during the live stream. Virginia Fonseca said, “Look, I've loved the smell of tires forever! Hahaha!” as reported by sources.
Other public figures joined in the online banter. Rafael Reis directed a remark at the influencer under the reference “I came for Virginia Ramos… good afternoon”, while Thiago Camilo chimed in with “Vim pela Vivibora… bom dia”, and Eric Granado observed “Damn, Virginio… you’re totally a pop star now, huh”.

The official Stock Car profile also joined the commentary by publishing a post stating “The buzz going around the paddock radio is that our driver is famous off the track?”.
Bárbara Heck—who dated the driver from 2013 until 2018—commented on a post by the driver’s sister, Fernanda Ramos, asking “Is this Virginia’s sister-in-law?”, to which Fernanda responded “That’s why I love you! I swear”.
The media attention also cast a spotlight on Ramos’s professional background in motorsport. Born in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, the 37-year-old driver won the Italian Formula 3 Championship in 2010 before entering the Stock Car grid in 2014, according to CARAS Brasil.
Financial figures released by series organizer Vicar indicate that drivers who conquer a spot can earn R$ 50 mil per month.
Driving this season for the Mercado Livre Racing team, Ramos secured a victory during the race in Curvelo, Minas Gerais, and occupies the 11th position in the season with 566 points.
Virginia’s romantic history included a relationship with singer Zé Felipe, with whom she shares three children, followed by a relationship with footballer Vini Jr. that ended in October 2025.
Zé Felipe lightheartedly referenced these transitions in a social media video by noting the progression of her partners, prompting Virginia to tell him to stop.
