A woman who claims to have married a rag doll says their relationship is now 'hanging by a thread' one year on, and has accused her handmade husband of cheating on her.
Meirivone Rocha Moraes, 37, was all set to celebrate her one-year anniversary with rag doll Marcelo, but was left broken-hearted after a friend saw him sneaking into a motel with another woman.
Meirivone has previously made headlines after opening up about her whirlwind romance with Marcelo, who her mother made for her after listening to her complaints about life as a single person who had nobody to dance with.
On December 18th, 2021, the smitten couple tied the knot in a wedding ceremony attended by 250 guests, and it wasn't long before they welcomed their doll-baby Marcelinho into the world, in a 'home birth' aided by a nurse and doctor.
Sadly, it wasn't long before cracks appeared in their fairy-tale.
Meirivone, from Brazil, claims she and Marcelo are now sleeping in separate rooms after she'd discovered he'd been 'cheating' on her with another woman.
She has now opened up about their 'stringy' romance in a candid TikTok video, which has clocked up 1.6 million views and more than 120,000 likes.
Devastated Meirivone said: "I found out through a friend who told me that she saw Marcelo entering a motel with another woman while I was hospitalised for three nights and three days with Marcelinho, our son, who had a virus.
"At first, I thought she was lying, but then I started looking through his phone and I saw the conversations, which made me sure he was cheating. He kept denying everything and said he loves me very much, as well as asking for forgiveness and crying a lot.
"The argument was ugly and scared [our son] who was crying, so I shouted to him: 'Do you see what you've done?' I asked him who the woman was and he didn't respond."
Although she initially considered chucking deceitful Marcelo out of the house completely, she agreed to let him stay for the sake of her children, Carol and Diego, and their 'baby' Marcelo.
Meirivone said: "I wanted to put him out of the house but our baby is growing up and at this stage, he would miss his father a lot. Also, the love I feel for him made me forgive – not completely – but I don't think I could live without my husband.
"I need to talk with him, so he can decide once and for all that he doesn't cheat anymore and if he does one more time, I won't forgive him."
In a mournful video montage shared to TikTok, Marcelo and Marcelinho could be seen seated together on the sofa where the philandering doll had been banished.
A number of followers took to the comments to reassure bereft Meirivone that 'everything will be alright, with one person urging her, 'talk to him, try to get through this'.
