Flavia Moraes

Throughout his illustrious career, Adriano Moraes has persevered though many injuries and there have been those discouraging times when he’s been thrown off a bull when thousands of dollars were at stake. But through it all, his wife Flavia, has stood behind him. “We became partners and I got involved with Adriano’s life,” Flavia said. “I always did what needed to be done as a wife and a mother. I always tried. I think Adriano and I have become perfect partners and it has given me a lot of joy.” Knowing that being a PBR star has its trials and tribulations, as well as its high points, Flavia said she and Adriano have gone through many maturing experiences. Adriano retired at the end of the 2008 season, and he and Flavia moved back to Brazil in 2010. Today, they live on a ranch at a midpoint between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Over the past two decades, he and Flavia have helped other Brazilians learn how to handle their business and travel arrangements while they were living in the United States and winning big bucks on the PBR circuit. From 2004 through 2006, Flavia worked closely with a dozen Brazilians, which included former World Finals qualifier Paulo Crimber and 2008 World Champion Guilherme Marchi.
