Rocca hails from Brazil and is known for posting behind-the-scenes pictures of her modeling shoots.

The influencer and model garnered representation from agencies Closer Models Brazil and Ford Models in the United States.

On Instagram, she can be seen in a variety of settings, including her native country, the streets of New York, and her new home in Sacramento.

Rocca first began sharing her modeling pictures on Instagram in 2012, where she now has over 102,000 loyal followers.

In 2019, she married Barbosa in Brazil.

The pair have two daughters together.

But while Rocca was pregnant with their first daughter, Isabela, the two suffered a scare.

Rocca gave birth while she was sick with Covid-19.

“I didn’t know what to do,” Barbosa told Marc Stein via The New York Times.

“All I did is just talk on the phone: ‘Listen, you’re going to have to do it by yourself.’ I told my wife, ‘Think on the baby, not on me.'”

Thankfully, Isabela was born fully healthy and had no further complications.

“The baby didn’t have the virus and thank you, God,” Barbosa said.

Present day, the family lives happily in Sacramento, California.

Now retired from playing basketball, Barbosa is an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings.
