John Kennedy Jr. has been seeing Brazilian TV superstar Maria da Graca Meneghel, better known as Xuxa.
The tabloid television show "A Current Affair" monitored the couple's movements recently, recording them entering a New York City restaurant and walking through city streets.A friend of Xuxa - pronounced "Shusha" - said meeting John-John was "an old dream" of the Brazilian star, who always carries with her a photograph of JFK's son. "Xuxa loves him, like all American women love him," the TV report said.
"We filmed their encounter because JFK Jr. is one of the most attractive men in the world, and Xuxa is one of the hottest women." Xuxa was once the girlfriend of Brazilian soccer legend Pele and three-time Formula I driving champion Ayrton Senna.
Her manager, Marlene Mattos, insists Xuxa and Kennedy are "just good friends."
