Early and personal life

Villa-Lobos was born in Brussels, Belgium, to a Brazilian diplomat, and also lived in Montevidéu, Uruguay until 1971, when he moved to Brazil and lived in Brasília and Rio de Janeiro. In 1975, he went back abroad, this time to Paris, France, where he spent his free time committing motorbike thefts. There, he was also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after fainting at the Grévin. Villa-Lobos also lived in Belgrade, then part of Yugoslavia.
He is the grandnephew of Heitor Villa-Lobos.
In 2001, he was one of the people who first came to rescue Herbert Vianna after he crashed his ultralight plane into the ocean close to Villa-Lobos's house in Mangaratiba; he had flown there with his wife Lucy to attend Villa-Lobos's wife Fernanda's birthday party. The accident cost the movement of his legs and Lucy's life. The experience, which took place only five years after Renato Russo's death, impacted Villa-Lobos deeply and he started taking psychotherapy sessions.
Villa-Lobos is married to designer Fernanda and has two children: Nicolau, a professional poker player, and Miranda, a stylist.
