In heartbreaking news from Brazil, 11-year-old actress and model Milena Brandão has died just days after being rushed to the hospital with severe headaches. The young star, known for her role in the popular soap The Childhood of Romeo and Juliet, suffered a staggering 21 cardiac arrests before tragically passing away.
Her mother, Thays Brandão, had revealed shortly before Milena’s death that doctors had diagnosed her daughter with a brain tumour. Despite being admitted to Grajaú General Hospital in São Paulo on Wednesday, Milena’s condition rapidly deteriorated, and she passed away just two days later.
On Friday, Thays broke the devastating news to Milena’s 196,000 Instagram followers with a moving tribute to her daughter, writing: “The memories we spent together will remain in my memory and I’ll never forget your joy that was contagious to everyone around you, according to PEOPLE.
“My girl, I’m already missing you not being here, and I know I’ll miss you even more in the days to come. “You were the light in our lives, and I know that from up there you’ll continue to watch over us and light up our lives. “And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll always be in my heart.”
The news has sent shockwaves through her fanbase, with social media flooded with messages of grief and love. One heartbroken user wrote: “My God, what a pain. How sad. As a mother, my heart bleeds.” Another said, “Rest in peace, beautiful. We will miss you a lot, seeing you always shining. Now you will shine in the sky. It was great to know you.”
Milena’s short but bright career left a lasting impression, especially among young fans who admired her talent and joyful spirit. Her presence on screen was full of life, and that same energy touched those who knew her, both online and in person.
Her sudden passing is a sobering reminder of how quickly life can change, even for the young and seemingly healthy. At just 11 years old, Milena had already built a name for herself in the world of entertainment and left behind memories that will continue to inspire and move those who followed her journey.
For her family, fans, and colleagues, the loss is immeasurable—but so too is the love and light Milena brought into the world during her short time here.
