Portuguese television executive and presenter Cristina Ferreira has outlined family expectations regarding her 18-year-old son, Tiago Casinhas, declaring that future partners must adhere to weekend meal traditions at her mother’s home. According to reporting by Revista Maria, the TVI Director of Entertainment and Fiction discussed her family dynamics during an appearance on the podcast A que sabe o amor?, hosted by actress Ana Guiomar.
Weekend Family Traditions at the Mother’s Table
Ferreira explained that maintaining a close-knit family circle is a priority in her routine, anchored by weekly gatherings at her mother’s house. According to Revista Maria, the presenter shares daily contact with her mother, who regularly prepares meals for the family, alleviating the demands of Ferreira’s schedule. “I, there is no day that I am not with my mother, that my mother does not say what do you want me to make for the boy, and therefore it takes that weight off me. And, Saturdays, it’s the entire family, we are always there about 13, 14 at the table, my cousins,” Ferreira stated, as quoted by Revista Maria.
A Lighthearted Warning to Tiago Casinhas and Future Partners
When podcast host Ana Guiomar questioned whether this tradition would persist once Tiago Casinhas establishes his own independent household, Ferreira responded with a direct and humorous warning. As detailed by Revista Maria, the presenter made it clear that family presence at weekend lunches remains non-negotiable regardless of future relationships.
I already told him, he better try not coming to lunch at his mother’s house on Saturday and Sunday, woe to the girl, or the guy he is married to, I don’t know what he wants, who doesn’t want to come to the mother-in-law’s house. Out of the question.

Cristina Ferreira (via Revista Maria) Despite her stance on attendance, Ferreira acknowledged that she prefers to delegate the cooking to her mother during these gatherings. Revista Maria reported that the presenter praised her own culinary abilities while ultimately choosing to enjoy her mother’s preparation every weekend. “I have that pleasure of eating every Saturday and Sunday at my mother’s house,” Ferreira said.
