Brazilian Star Vinicius Heartbroken As DNA Test Reveals Daughter Isn’t His After Tattooing Her Name

Former Real Madrid defender, Vinicius Tobias suffered heartbreak after discovering that he is not the biological father of the daughter whose name he had tattooed on his arm.

The 20-year-old Brazilian right-back, now with Shakhtar Donetsk, and his ex-girlfriend Ingrid Lima welcomed their daughter, Maite, on October 8, 2024.

To celebrate her birth, Vinicius Tobias got a tattoo on his arm saying, “Maite, I love you.”

However, according to The Sun UK, Ingrid revealed that their relationship was unstable around the time of Maite’s conception.

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

In a social media post, Ingrid stated: “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. 

“I sincerely ask everyone to stop attacking him. It was my request that he not attend the birth or post anything about Maitê until the DNA results were in. Vinicius and I have already discussed everything and reached an amicable understanding.”

Vinicius Tobias had a brief loan spell with Real Madrid earlier this year, making just one appearance for the senior team before returning to Shakhtar Donetsk.

He has yet to comment on the DNA test results.
