In a post on Instagram, the former athlete opened up about what made him fall in love with his exwife. “Right from the start of our relationship, one of the most important virtues I saw in my exwife was that she was a good mother, an incredible mother, committed, present, hardworking, courageous… That was one of the main reasons that drew me into it brought to wholeheartedly embrace this family at this very special moment with a newborn baby,” he began.
In the letter, Amaury explained that everything went quickly. From one day to the next he saw himself as Enrico’s father, now 5 years old, and realized that the little one needed him.
“We met in person in Miami on August 28, 2017, 20 days after his birth. There I quickly felt that not only she, but above all he needed me. Within a short time we decided that I would move to São Paulo with them, away from my family, away from my job. It was like, one weekend I was single on the beach in Miami playing foot volleyball with my friends, the other I was warming up a bottle at dawn, playing the role of husband and father to a newborn child and feeling extremely content,” he said .
After that, the businessman poked fun at living with his exwife and son for those five years. He said that the former couple always shares all of Enrico’s care and expenses.
“In those almost five years, we’ve always shared practically everything, especially in relation to our son, the bills, responsibilities and commitments. When I had to travel, she stayed with him. When she had to travel I stayed with him and when it was possible the three of us drove together. In adjustment at small school when she was 2 years old I went one day, she went the other. One day I would take her to judo, the other day she would take her to swimming. While she worked I played with him, while I worked she played with him. Any doctor’s appointments he had, we would go together. Every meal of the day we always made an effort to do the three together, we’ve always done it since he was 20 days old,” he said.
In 2019, the couple began the process of socioaffective fatherhood. “He might even put my name as a father on his identity, which currently doesn’t have a father’s name. However, during this process we faced some obstacles like the pandemic and a crisis in our relationship where we split (between March and April 2021),” he said.
He went to Rio de Janeiro to stay with his family but after a few weeks decided to return to São Paulo. With almost everything ready for the two to sign off on the divorce, they chatted and decided to try to resume the relationship.
“At that moment she had two documents that I had to sign. On the one hand, the divorce, which we didn’t sign immediately, and on the other hand, the waiver of our son’s paternity suit. It was a big shock for me. I was very sad, but in an attempt to keep our family together and hoping things would get better or return to normal, I agreed to sign this document.”
“Mostly because I never thought that a simple role could define a relationship as pure and beautiful as mine and my son’s. Finally, as she herself said, ‘It was always like this at heart, father and son,'” he added.
In his opinion, this was the only procedure that existed up to that point, without there being another case before the court, forbidding him from seeing his son for any particular reason.
“Over the past year, I believe that both my exwife and I have done our best to preserve our family, restore love, understand everything that has happened, all the changes. All within our limitations as flawed human beings that we are,” he assessed.
However, Amaury said they failed and reached their limits. Because of this, without major quarrels and accusations, without serious problems, but each with their own point of view, they decided to divorce.
“Of course we were sad and upset about our differences, especially in thoughts, habits, attitudes, behavior … everything was practically different and very different from when we first met. We could no longer agree on which church we would go to.”
After four months, he stressed that he was trying to understand the reason for her attitude of not letting him see the child anymore, or at least not talk to him.
“I want to make it clear that it was never and never would be my intention to take him away from her, quite the opposite. As I said here, I have always admired her as a mother, but my intention is that our son can grow up with the wonderful mother that she is, but also with a father who loves him very much, simply because he deserves it has.” he argued.
Finally, the businessman said he would continue to socialize with his son with open arms and hearts. “Son I love you. I will always be there for you, I know you miss you so much, me too. I hope that one day we can be together again soon,” he said.
