Two Brazilians who once lived religious lives have shared a new path together. Lais Dognini, a former nun and now influencer, has married Jackson Dognini, a onetime seminarian. They kept their March ceremony private. They confirmed the union on Instagram on Tuesday, 7 October.
Their story began more than six years ago. Both spent years in Catholic circles yet barely spoke. They often served in the same missionary spaces. But they never even said “hello”, according to O Globo.
How the friendship began
Lais spent two years in a Carmelite convent. She lived a life of prayer and service. Then she suffered depression and left the convent to recover at home. Around that time, Jackson was five years into seminary training.
He reached out and said he was praying for her. He also believed she would one day return to religious life. The pair kept in touch and slowly became friends. Messages turned into steady support over months and years.
The friendship deepened as they healed and grew. Jackson later stepped away from the seminary after long discernment. Lais focused on health and work as an online creator. Their values stayed rooted in faith and care.
From service vows to marriage vows
In April 2024, they finally began to date. The pace was calm and clear. They got engaged in October last year. They tied the knot in March in a small ceremony.
They chose privacy while they settled into married life. On 7 October, they shared the news on Instagram Stories. “It doesn’t seem like much, right?” Lais wrote. “But let’s face it, we’re adults now and we know what we want in life.”
Their reveal sparked gentle interest online. Faith, healing, and choice sit at the heart of their tale. It also lands amid fresh relationship debates in pop culture. See our recent coverage of a Blessing CEO engagement update. You can also read about a Davido and DJ Ecool rift that stirred fans.
