Second Divorce 

Subsequently, after the divorce news, reported by distractify, she revealed that she and Marq could not make it through a long-distance relationship during the pandemic.

"It's very hard to maintain long-term marriages and relationships, especially when COVID hit. We literally got divorced amidst COVID, and I think probably a lot of [other] people did, too. You realize it's time to pull the trigger. It's a big time of reflection, right? Everything comes out."

Therefore, even though they were sad about it, they decided to pursue their lives separately. Moura also added that their relationship did not settle as they vowed to, in the beginning, connoting, "It got to the sense that, very friendly and very amicably, we decided that maybe that wasn't going to work for the really long haul, like' till death do us part.' We very amicably got divorced, and it was sad. Very sad. But it's life — you never know!"

And regardless of the loss of their 11 years of relationship and companionship, she still considers him an important part of her life. 

"I believed that Frederic and I would be together forever. We were together for over 10 years — 11 years, to be exact — but unfortunately, in the later years after the show wrapped, there were different paths, and we were growing apart," she said. "And I only wish him the best. We're still great friends. He's still there for my son, which, to me, is super important. I still consider him family. We're just now the new modern family."

Moura has been open about her relationship status and Marq's bond with her son, where they have remained close with each other even after the divorce. 

First Divorce After Abusive Relationship 

Unfortunately, Moura's first marriage with Sidi was abusive, and Moura wanted to get out. It was revealed on the show that Sidi was having an affair with someone else, and through a phone call, she discovered that his mistress was a 17-year-old girl. The pair split in 2001 but rekindled their relationship again after moving from Texas to Florida. The relationship ended altogether in 2006. 

Soon after, Moura also detailed that she fought to get the primary custody of their son. She added that her former husband assaulted her physically, mentally, and sexually. According to the reports, he dragged her into the bedroom, ripped off her clothes, and threatened her repeatedly by stating he would kill her. Ultimately, he choked her into submission and then raped her while their son was asleep in the next room. Her ex-husband denied all the claims and agreed to give Alex's primary custody to Adriana in 2008. 

Son 

Moura's son with Sidi was named Alex Sidi, born in 2001. On the show, Moura also revealed that her son likes that his mother is a burgeoning concert pianist. He often appeared on the show as a child, but after 2013 he chose to focus on his college and career. 

As of now, Alex goes to the University of Miami and studies International Relations. Further, he was also the captain of the sailing team at Ransom Everglades Athletics before college, and in college, he joined the sailing team as well.

While during his summer break, he worked as a legal assistant at John Herrera Law. 

'Feel the Rush' Theme Song

After Moura joined the Real Housewives of Miami cast in 2011, she received an opportunity to sing the show's theme song. She was one of the options taken alongside other artists, while later, her voice got picked. Her voice has been airing since the second season of the show. 

In 2012, in an interview with the NiteTalks she revealed alongside her voice the song was produced by a double-grammy winning Brazilian producer. Hence, she thought it was an opportunity worth a try. "Actually, the opportunity arose when double-Grammy Brazilian music producer Silvio Riccheto approached me and asked if I could record a song with him."

She worked on the singing and the song's lyrics while shooting for season 2 for around eight months before being chosen as the theme artist. "We worked on the song for about eight months before the filming of season two. I co-wrote the lyrics while we recorded it and later sent the song to Bravo with the hopes that it would get picked up for the main theme of The Housewives. Amongst the many other songs that were submitted to Bravo, I was thrilled when I received the news that they chose mine!"
