Former Real Madrid footballer Vinícius Tobias finds himself at the center of an unexpected scandal after discovering that he is not the biological father of the child he was expecting with his ex-partner, influencer Ingrid Lima.  

The story began in February when Vinícius, a defender for Shakhtar Donetsk and just 20 years old, excitedly announced his impending fatherhood through an emotional post on Instagram. With words full of joy, he expressed his happiness about the arrival of his baby and, as a symbol of his love, tattooed the name "Maitê" on his skin.

However, the situation changed dramatically after the girl was born on October 8. Vinícius was not present at the birth nor did he mention the event on his social media, which sparked speculation about his relationship with Ingrid and the paternity of the child.

Days later, Ingrid revealed on her social media that a DNA test had confirmed that Vinícius was not the father of Maitê. According to her statements, the couple went through a crisis that led Ingrid to get involved with another person during that time. Despite the complicated situation, she requested respect for the footballer and clarified that they had decided not to make the situation public until they knew the results of the paternity test. 

Without any comments from Vinícius, this situation has impacted his personal and professional life. After failing to establish himself at Real Madrid, the young defender continues his career at Shakhtar Donetsk, now facing a new challenge in his life off the pitch.
