Football star suffers heartbreak as DNA test shows another man fathered his daughter

Former Real Madrid defender Vinicius Tobias and his fiancee




Former Real Madrid defender Vinicius Tobias recently got his baby’s name tattooed on his arm, only to discover that he is not the biological father.

The 20-year-old Brazilian right-back, now playing for Shakhtar Donetsk, and his ex-wife Ingrid Lima welcomed their daughter, Maite, on October 8.

To celebrate her birth, Tobias had the words “Maite, I love you” tattooed on his arm.

However, influencer Ingrid revealed that their relationship had been on and off around the time Maite was conceived, per the The Sun UK.

She also confirmed that a DNA test showed Tobias is not the biological father of the child.

In a social media post, Ingrid reportedly wrote: “I came to give a statement about something that is getting annoying and that, unfortunately, I would have to come out on publicly to give you an explanation.

“Vinicius and I haven’t been together for a while. During that time, I was in a relationship with someone and so was he.

“We both moved on with our lives. In the meantime, Maite came along.

“We decided to do a DNA test, and Maite is not Vinicius’ daughter.”

As of now, Tobias has not commented on the DNA test results. (AFP: Text, Excluding Headline)
