It didn't take long for the life of Davi Brito, 21, completely transformed after the BBB 24 — something that had nothing to do with the fact that he was the great champion of the reality show.
The day after his victory, a speech by the Bahian triggered a crisis in their relationship. During the Mais Você program, Davi mentioned that he was just “getting to know” Mani Reggo 42, with whom he had been in a relationship for a year and six months.
During Big Brother Brasil, it was common for the boy to refer to his partner as his wife. Something that led internet users to question his change in stance.
A few days later, while Davi insisted that his relationship was fine, Mani spoke out and gave signs of the end, even unfollowing the BBB 24 champion on social media.
This fact caused some of the Bahian's family members to become involved in the controversy, as well as other people, such as a businessman and even an institute. Understand everyone’s role in this mess!
