Meirivone Rocha Moraes, a 37-year-old from Brazil, made headlines by marrying a life-sized ragdoll named Marcelo. Their unconventional relationship has now extended to include a family. They claim three children: a 1-year-old son named Marcelinho, and newborn twin daughters, Marcela and Emilia.

Life for Meirivone with her pretend family isn’t without its challenges. She shares on TikTok about the complexities of parenting and marriage with Marcelo, noting, “It’s tough, but I feel emotional every moment.” Despite the difficulties, she emphasizes their shared responsibilities, including parenting tasks and financial concerns. She describes Marcelo as actively involved, helping with daily routines like bathing and feeding.

Meirivone’s commitment to their unusual family dynamic remains strong. Marcelo, she explains, always desired a family and is content with their life together. They aspire to own a home, and Meirivone diligently searches online for opportunities since their 2018 wedding.

Their relationship has faced its share of hardships, such as Marcelo’s infidelity and a distressing incident where Marcelinho was briefly kidnapped in February 2023. Yet through it all, Meirivone maintains her dedication to their unique family unit.
