Personal life Cachoeira had a troubled childhood growing up. She played volleyball for Fluminense, but was removed from the team. In her youth Cachoeira's father refused to admit that she was his daughter, her brother-in-law sexually molested her, and she discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her. In her twenties Cachoeira became addicted to crack cocaine, and would spend many years of her life as an addict before her mother finally managed to help her leave her addiction and turn to mixed martial arts. Cachoeira had a son born in 2013. She was in a relationship with another woman until 2018, when they split up because her partner was spending all her money. While recovering from her knee injury, Cachoeira's training was sponsored by Brazilian football club Vasco da Gama. In July 2021, news surfaced that Cachoeira's former girlfriend was granted a restraining order against Cachoeira after accusing her of three assaults. Cachoeira denied the accusations and pressed charges against her ex-girlfriend for defamation in turn.
