In 1991, André began dating actress Carol Machado, with whom he starred in the soap opera, Vamp, staying together until 1994.[7] [8] Between 1994 and 1996 he dated actress Natália Lage.[9]
In 1997, he had a brief relationship with actress Tereza Seiblitz, with whom he had a daughter.[10] [11]
n 1999 he began a relationship with Myrian Rios, with whom he starred in Era uma Vez.... After three months of dating, he went to live in her house, where she lived with her son.[12] In 2000, the couple broke up for a few months, he had a brief romance with another woman, and that same year resumed his relationship with Rios. Their second child was born in Rio de Janeiro in 2001, and, in 2002, they ended the relationship amicably.[13]
In 2002, he started dating journalist Cynthia Benini, whom he met on the reality show Casa dos Artistas. They married on 27 September of that year. In 2003, the actor's third daughter was born. In 2006 the marriage came to an end.[14]

In November 2021, he was arrested by the police for failing since 2007 to support his daughter, 18-year-old Valentina.[17] [18] In July 2022 another arrest warrant was issued by the State of Santa Catarina concerning a debt of 350 thousand reais (worth about US$66.000 at the time) in alimony due to his daughter Valentina. The actor paid his debt and was released after sixty days of house arrest.[19]
On 3 January 2017, journalist Leo Dias reported in his column in the newspaper O Dia that Danielle Winits, Gonçalves's wife, lied when she said she was pregnant and that she received priority care to board a flight to New York.[20]
Gonçalves posted a video on social media in which he said:
On 11 January, Winits filed a complaint against Dias at the 14th Police Station in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro. Dias also filed a complaint against Gonçalves for insult and threat.[21]
The first hearing in the suit against Gonçalves was held on 27 March of the same year in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, but Dias did not attend. Later, Dias announced on his show Gossiping that the case had been resolved.[22] [23] [24] [25]
