Alexandre, who is studying business management and English, added that he lives with his mother and two older half-brothers from his previous marriage.
“Jazmin is my big sister and I love her like I love my two big maternal brothers,” added Alexandre.
“We all get along very well and Jazmin is also very close to one of my two brothers with whom she shares the same birthday. We maintain good relations despite the fact that we live in distant countries.
