But it isn’t just his football career that has sparked interest. Tobias just made a meaningful gesture to commemorate a key occasion in his personal life.

Despite splitting with his ex-girlfriend, influencer Ingrid Lima, he remained involved. On October 8, 2024, Lima gave birth to a daughter called Maite.

Tobias tattooed Maite’s name on his arm as a symbol of his devotion. He then added the words “te amo” (I love you) to express his adoration.

This gesture affected many people and demonstrated his dedication to the youngster. Even after the breakup, Tobias appeared to be committed to fatherhood.

However, the scenario quickly took an unexpected turn. With 130,000 Instagram followers, Lima made a shocking announcement.

She revealed that the pair had parted ways. However, they decided to conduct a DNA test to determine Maite’s paternity.

Lima disclosed a stunning truth: Tobias is not Maite’s biological father. Many people were startled by the news, especially since Tobias had publicly shown his love for the child.

While Tobias has not responded, Lima has requested the public to stop attacking him. She stressed that they had reached a peaceful resolution to the matter.

Despite the heartbreak, both are now moving forward with their lives.
