Portuguese term or phrase: caseiro
"caseiro/caseira" as used to describe a person, regardless of gender, who likes to be near family and participate in family activities.
"XXX é muito caseiro. Nunca imigraria para outro país"
" XXX nao vai para balada, é muito caseiro."

I thought about "family man" , but it does not seem to be the same as in PTBR.
any suggestions?

neutral  Katarina Peters: "domesticated" would be a better word in this case // sempre depende do contexto... "domestic" também significa "empregada" !!

agree  Oliver Simões: Most definitely also. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/domestic
