The husband of singer Jojo Todynho, 24, Army officer Lucas Souza, 21, explained in his Stories why he did not invite his biological father, Renato Souza, to the wedding ceremony, which took place on January 29.
“He is my biological father, but he is not the guy who raised me. I was raised exclusively by my mother, both me and my two brothers. Mr. Renato has a history of alcoholism, drugs, and is a negative example as a father,” he began. him, explaining that he is grateful for being raised by his mother.
The army officer stated that his mother had an abusive relationship for 12 years with his biological father and added: “12 years of torture, stabbing and aggression. Father is the one who creates, not the one who goes to the media to want to expose his son”. Lucas also said that Renato is looking for media to give interviews and expose his image.
Souza continued saying that he received aggressive messages from Renato, saying that he would “end his life”. He also said that he even invited his father to the wedding, after asking if his mother would feel comfortable with the situation.
“He was not invited to the wedding because, first, my mother has a protective measure against him. I talked to my mother and asked: ‘Can I invite him to the wedding? Will you feel comfortable?'” he explained. “She replied, ‘I’m not going to feel comfortable, but I want you to call because he’s your father’.”
Lucas recalls that after sending the invitation to Renato, he started to invite friends and distant relatives of the Army officer. “He started calling his friends, friends who even used drugs with him, that during my childhood I was encouraged to use drugs by these people,” he said.
“And at my wedding I only called close people, who I really like. I’m not going to keep making a wedding to keep calling distant relatives that I don’t know, who never text me. I called him out of respect for the fact that he’s my biological father, but he was not the man who raised me,” Lucas added.
The wedding ceremony took place in Rio de Janeiro, and there were some images and records shared by Jojo Todynho on social media. The couple met in August while on a trip to Mexico, and they dated for five months before their wedding.
The singer took up the relationship with Lucas Souza publicly in November, shortly after making an outburst in Stories, very angry, for having leaked a photo of her next to him. She had posted the image on a private profile on the social network, which she had created a short time before for her closest friends.
“Someone I trusted — and it’s impossible to find out who it was — took this and sent it to the gossip sites, which publish the photo without knowing if the person wants them to publish it. If I didn’t post it on my public Instagram or Facebook it’s because I didn’t I wanted to talk. Unfortunately, we live with people and have to deal with bad character”, he said at the time.
