Brazilian President Michel Temer and his 33-year-old wife Marcela Tedeschi Temer landed in Goa on Saturday. Temer’s wife of 13 years, Marcela is a former Miss São Paulo and more than 42 years younger. Dubbed Brazilian Carla Bruni, she has been in the news for her extravagance during times of country’s economic turmoil. Marcela was 19 and living in her home town of Paulinia, near Sao Paulo, when she first met Temer, then a well-known congressman, at a political function in 2002. A year later, the couple married in a quiet ceremony. Marcela has her husband’s name tattooed on the back of her neck, which was first spotted in 2011.
