In a heartbreaking turn of events, Brazilian footballer Vinicius Tobias has been left shocked after discovering that he is not the biological father of a child he was expecting with his ex-girlfriend. This revelation came after a DNA test confirmed the news, just days after the footballer had gotten a tattoo in honor of the unborn baby.
Vinicius Tobias, who is 20 years old and currently plays for Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk, believed he was the father of the child until the surprising results of the test were revealed. His ex-girlfriend, social media influencer Ingrid Lima, announced the news publicly, revealing that she had taken a DNA test that confirmed Vinicius was not the father.
Lima, who recently gave birth to a baby girl named Maitê, shared the shocking news through her Instagram stories. The announcement sent shockwaves through their fans and the public.
“As everyone already knows, Vinicius and I haven’t been together for a long time, and in these comings and goings I related to a person. We decided to do a DNA [test] and Maitê is not Vinicius’ daughter,” Lima posted on her now-deleted Instagram story.
The Brazilian footballer, who had already gone so far as to tattoo his unborn child’s name on his body, was reportedly devastated by the discovery. The situation has been extremely painful for Vinicius, who was preparing to take on the role of a father before learning the child was not his.
Reports from Brazilian media, including the outlet Leo Dias, suggest that Lima had been unfaithful to Vinicius during their on-and-off relationship. She reportedly had an affair with an açaí delivery man, named Vinicius Duarte, who is now suspected to be the real father of the child.
The relationship between Tobias and Lima had been rocky for some time, with both individuals reportedly being unfaithful. While Lima has now revealed her own affair, sources suggest that Vinicius Tobias had also been unfaithful, although the specifics of his infidelity remain unclear.
Despite the complicated situation, Lima has called for an end to public criticism of Tobias. She stated that the two have already settled their differences and are hoping to move on peacefully. In another Instagram story, she wrote, “I sincerely ask that to stop attacking him… Vinicius and I have already sat down and talked amicably. I wish him the best things in the world, that both can follow their lives in peace.”
