Moraes captioned the video, in which she was seen giggling and wandering around while holding the test up to the camera, "I am pregnant!"Even while TikTok users were more dubious of the announcement, her followers were quick to congratulate the pair and give their best wishes.

Last year, Moraes was left horrified to learn that Marcelo had cheated on her and her dead husband last year despite being unable to move or speak.Since I found out he cheated on me, we have been quite distant. We continue to reside in the same home, but things have changed, Marcelo says. However, things have changed because of the baby, she added.  Bihar: Woman Marries Man Outside ICU of Hospital in Gaya To Fulfil Ailing Mother’s Last Wish; Mother Dies Hours After Marriage.
