“She was born with 6 lbs., 4 oz.,” Patrick adds. “Aleesi’s here. We made it. Everything actually went really well, and Thaís, she’s feeling great.”
She laughs and asks, “Feeling great? The pain is so terrible. I think it’s especially because I was induced, right?”
“Was it worth it?” Patrick asks.
“Of course, it’s worth it,” she assures, reaching out for the newborn. She then tells the new dad, “I just carried her for nine months and she looks like you.”
“Are you jealous?” he asks.
“No!” she laughs.
The Brazilian native, 26, and the professional weightlifter, 33, first met while Patrick was in Brazil, working on reconnecting with his father’s family. He claimed that he was searching for a Portuguese teacher when they matched on a dating app.
After a few trips, Patrick eventually won her over with lavish gifts and decided to propose after eleven months of knowing each other. The couple tied the knot in February 2022.
