Thais and Patrick’s relationship timeline
Patrick met Thaís on a trip to Brazil whilst he was on his way to reconnect with his retired father. After changing his location on his dating apps, the 32-year-old was over the moon when he matched with model Thaís, 25.
The relationship was a whirlwind and moved quickly after the couple immediately hit it off. After his trip was over, Patrick booked multiple return trips just to visit Thaís. It wasn’t long into their relationship that they started considering marriage as a possibility. During the series, Patrick said:
Eleven months after I met Thais, I ended up proposing to her, and she said yes.
However, it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows for the two with their new life in Texas. In episode 10, Thais confronted Patrick about his secrecy over his finances, complaining that she felt as his future wife, she should be aware of how much money he makes, to which Patrick took offence, claiming that until she was legally his wife, she didn’t have a right to know.
The couple has faced multiple hurdles in their relationship, but it seems that they can’t be broken as their partnership continues to blossom ahead of welcoming their first child.
