Margarida Corceiro, known as Magui, is a Portuguese actress, model and influencer who was João Félix's girlfriend from 2019 until 2023. They were never married: according to Portuguese media they split in June 2023, after about four years together. Félix, born on 10 November 1999, turned 27 on 10 November 2026 and plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, while Corceiro, born on 26 October 2002, is 24 and has built an acting career on Portuguese television and streaming.

This article replaces an older "girlfriend" profile. It now answers what readers actually search for: who she is, how old she is, what she has acted in, how tall she is, where to find her on Instagram, how the relationship started and where Félix is in his career as of November 2026.

Who is Margarida Corceiro?

Football fans first heard of her through João Félix, but in Portugal she was already known before that. Observador reports that she signed with the agency Central Models at 12 and started modelling professionally at 14, after growing up in the Santarém area. Her career grew out of modelling jobs and then television.

She is also one of the best-known Portuguese influencers. In 2023 Forbes Portugal named her the most influential Portuguese resident public figure on Instagram, according to Portuguese Wikipedia. The same Observador profile quotes her saying that Instagram earns her more than acting does, which explains why she is as much a brand ambassador as an actress. Wikipedia lists her as a partner and ambassador of the swimwear brand Missus Swimsuits, which also appears in one of her posts.

Margarida Corceiro's career

Her acting career began on TVI, one of Portugal's main private channels. Portuguese Wikipedia lists the following roles with these dates. Observador adds that she was cast in Prisioneira at 16, while still at school:

  • Prisioneira (TVI, 2019 to 2020): her first acting role, as Carolina Atalaia.
  • Dança com as Estrelas, 5th edition (2020): she took part as a contestant in the Portuguese version of Dancing with the Stars, the TVI show.
  • Bem Me Quer (2020 to 2021): the character Constança.
  • Quero É Viver (2022 to 2023): the role of Rita, a co-antagonist.
  • Morangos com Açúcar, new season (2023 to 2024): she played Gabi, an antagonist, in the long-running teen series.
  • Citas Barcelona (2024): a Spanish series on Amazon Prime Video, in which she plays Maru.
  • A Fazenda (TVI, from late 2024): a lead in the telenovela, which began airing in November 2024.
  • Ponto Nemo (2025): the character Zoe.

She has also presented a season of the hair-care contest Cabelo Pantene, A Competição (2023).

The post above is from her own account and refers to the dance programme she took part in in 2020.

How did Margarida Corceiro and João Félix meet?

According to Observador, the relationship became public in 2019, when Félix left heart emojis under a photo she posted for her 17th birthday. That was the year he moved from Benfica to Atlético Madrid for a reported €126 million, a club record for Atlético. For most of the relationship he lived in Madrid and she lived in Portugal, so the two saw each other when his fixtures and her filming allowed.

They split in June 2023, according to Observador's October 2023 profile of her. As far as we could find, neither of them gave a long interview explaining the break-up, and we leave speculation about the reasons aside. This article does not follow either person's private life after the split.

Are João Félix and Margarida Corceiro married?

No. The slug of this page still contains the word "wife" because that is how the URL was created years ago, but they were never married and never announced an engagement. Margarida Corceiro is Félix's ex-girlfriend. Searches such as "João Félix wife" or "João Félix girlfriend" lead here for that reason, and we have not found a reliable report that either person has married since.

João Félix Sequeira was born in Viseu on 10 November 1999. He is an attacking midfielder or forward who is of Brazilian descent through his father, according to English Wikipedia. Here is a dated career timeline from the same source:
