It was carnaval of 2023 in Brazil. Rodrigo was at Green Valley in Balneario on a Monday night of Carnaval. Alessandra arrived with her friend Rogerio and stayed near the same VIP Rodrigo was. But you may be asking. How did that happen? Alessandra wasn't even going to that party, but her friend Rogerio insisted that she did. Rogerio then purchased the ticket for her. When they went to pick up the ticket, it happened to be from someone Rodrigo knew. When Rodrigo saw his friend Will at the party, Alessandra and Rogerio were there hanging out around his friends. They only said hi to each other. Nothing else. Fast forward 6 months, Rodrigo had recently ended his previous relationship and Alessandra posted on her instagram she was at at coffee shop in Sao Paulo while Rodrigo was at Rio. They began talking about the coffee shop then learned about a mutual friend who happened to be Ale's cousin and from there on they never stopped talking. Rodrigo immediately scheduled a trip to Sao Paulo to meet Ale and from that trip in September of 2023 he only came back to the USA once for his birthday and to pick up a few clothes. They stayed together the entire time and travelled to 5 different countries and had an amazing beginning of a relationship. Now they will celebrate their love with all of you!
