Biography

Belard was born on 25 October 1988 to a 16-year-old Portuguese mother and an 18-year-old Irish father, who went home to Ireland while Belard was still a baby and never returned.[1][4] She lived with her mother at her grandparents' house and was primarily raised by her grandparents.[4] Belard appeared in commercials and modeled as a child.[2] She studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon, and in 2018 was studying Tourism and Hotel Management at Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril.[2]

As an actress, she is best known for her roles in Portuguese telenovelas. Her first professional role was as Raquel on Morangos com Açúcar when she was 16.[2] While primarily a television and film actress, she has also acted onstage, including in Ultima Noite at the Gil Vicente Theater in 2013[5] and in Don Giovanni, ou O Imorigerado Imortal at Lisbon's Thalia Theater. She acted opposite Liliana Santos and Morangos co-star Ângelo Rodrigues in Don Giovanni.[6]

Belard and her partner, pilot Francisco Sérvulo Correia, have two sons: Matias (born 2017) and Sebastião (born 2023).[3][7][8] The couple became engaged in 2017 during her first pregnancy but had to postpone the wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][9] Belard was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome prior to the birth of her children and was told she would never become pregnant.[10]
