Widower of Influencer Isabel Veloso Confirms New Relationship as Family Voices Criticism

The uproar highlights how public grieving on social media can turn private choices into contested narratives.

Overview

  • Lucas Borbas said on Wednesday he is dating again and posted a photo of his new partner holding his infant son, Arthur.
  • The partner is speech therapist Diulia Loregian, who previously treated Arthur and who says their earlier contact was only professional and involved no affair.
  • Relatives, including sisters Renata Veloso and Priscila Kiekow and father Joelson, questioned Lucas's conduct as an old video of him vowing he would not date again resurfaced online.
  • Lucas defended the decision in a lengthy post, saying he honored Isabel through her illness and arguing there is no universal timetable for grief.
  • By Saturday, a cousin, Dudu Duarte, added public allegations about timing and motive, and both Lucas and Diulia limited Instagram comments as the controversy grew.
