'I'm married to rag doll – he cheated on me but all's forgiven as he's worth 10 men'

A woman who has three children with her life-size rag doll husband has forgiven his cheating, saying he's worth "10 men".

Meirivione Rocha Moraes, 39, said it was "love at first sight" when she found life-size doll Marcelo. She insists their daily life is the "same" as other families.

However, it's not without its problems, with Meirivione recently alleging that her inanimate lover had "cheated on her". She now says all is forgiven because "I love him".

Speaking on Brazilian show 'La vida sin filtros' (Life without filters), Meirivione said: "The relationship and our day-to-day life is the same as that of other families, with the only difference being that they are hard work for me because Marcelo is disabled, he has no feet, Marcelinho is a dwarf and the girls are also suspected of dwarfism."

The couple got married in December 2021 in front of more than 250 guests, reports the Daily Star. Meirivone dresses Marcelo in men's clothes and they enjoy romantic dinners and outings with the pram.

All of these activities are documented on Meirivone's Instagram page (which has thousands of followers), where she revealed that Marcelo recently underwent a tattoo procedure to get their children's names inked.

In a shocking revelation, Meirivone shared details of a thwarted plan to kidnap their first son, Marcelinho. She also strangely discussed the "birth" of their twin daughters, Emilia and Marcela, at a clinic.

The peculiar relationship has led some to speculate that Meirivone may be dealing with mental health issues.

Despite this, she continues to share her story and recently arrived in Spain with her family, with Marcelo and the children travelling comfortably inside a suitcase.

Meirivone has been with more conventional men in the past, having two children from a previous relationship, but she insists her current husband is "worth 10 men" despite his "disability".

"He accepts everything I say," she explained, stating why he's superior to a flesh and blood man. However, it's not always smooth sailing.

Meirivone also revealed details of Marcelo's alleged infidelity. She said: "A friend called me and told me she saw Marcelo going into a motel with a woman. I punished Marcelo and made him sleep on the sofa for three days."

She added: "He denied it; he said it was a lie from my friend because she was jealous of us, so I forgave him because I love him very much."

The interview later took a heartfelt turn as Meirivone expressed gratitude towards her husband for being passionate, affectionate and a good father, despite the challenges they've faced together.

Meirivone concluded by stating that despite the odds, they have fought hard to keep their relationship going and will continue to do so, even though many people fail to understand it.
