Influencer claims having two partners helped her beat depression

Larissa met her first partner Ítalo eight years ago, but then she started a relationship with her former neighbour, João Victor

An influencer has claimed she beat depression by having two partners.

Lary Ingrid - known as Larissa - says she is even open to the idea of adding a third.

The 27-year-old met her first partner Ítalo Silva, 25, eight years ago. But she started a relationship with her former neighbour João Victor, 18, last year.

Today, the trio live together under the same roof.

She shares a son with Ítalo and a baby daughter with João, and both men raise the kids as if they were their own.

Lary - who lives with her partners in Fortaleza, Brazil - used to have depression, but not any more.

She said it’s great to have two men washing the dishes and cleaning the house for her.

She said they have also helped her with her mental health issues.

During an interview on the Se Liga VM show on the channel TV Verdes Mares, Lary said: “I don't have depression anymore.

“I don't have time to be depressed anymore, they are my ‘husbands’.”

According to the influencer, her relationship with Ítalo became ‘open’ when he suggested they should have fun with other romantic partners.

She accepted Ítalo’s proposal and soon got involved with João Victor.

Lary said: “I’ve known João since I was a child. He used to live next door to my mum, but he left and I remained good friends with his mother.

“When he came back, this handsome guy wanted to kiss me, so we kissed and here we are today. It was bigger than all of us.”

João said he was initially sceptical about getting involved with a woman who already had a partner, but agreed after discussing the matter with her and Ítalo.

He stated: “We both liked her so we entered into an agreement, we’re all going to stay together.

“It was really love. I’ve always liked her since I was young.

“I already had this idea of being with her, but she made it clear that wouldn’t happen. As I wanted to stay with her regardless, I accepted.”

João, who is the father of Lary's youngest daughter, admitted that his family had a tough time accepting the relationship.

He said: “It was complicated for my family, but over time they saw that it wasn’t an arrangement from out of this world, and ended up accepting it.”

Ítalo, who has a six-year-old son with Lary, said there is often jealousy between the two men when one of them is with her.

He admitted: “It still goes on today, but we don’t fight. When we feel jealous, we talk about it and it’s resolved.”

Ítalo also said that he considers Lary’s daughter with João as his own, and even bears a tattoo with their two names along with his son’s.

Meanwhile, Lary suspects that her two fellas may occasionally stray outside of the relationship, but would never accept another woman joining the fold.

However, she admitted that a third man could be an option.

Lary, who has 550,000 TikTok fans and 380,000 Instagram followers, regularly shares content of her unusual family life as well as her singing career.
