While the couple crossed paths during their years of theological devotion, it wasn\u2019t until Jackson sent Lais a departing message of prayer that they really connected.<\/p>\n
They began to message one another frequently, though Jackson was still studying in seminary school and believed Lais would soon return to the convent.<\/p>\n
According to El Globo, after Jackson decided to leave his own training, they grew even closer and soon made plans to meet.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur first meeting was to go to mass together, go out to dinner and then go to the movies. That day, he was going to ask me to marry him, and I didn\u2019t know anything. It was St Therese\u2019s day.\u201d<\/p>\n
They had begun a relationship by April 2024, were engaged by October 2024, and married by March 2025, the New York Post reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems little, right? But let\u2019s face it, we are already adults, and we know what we want from life,\u201d Lais wrote on her Instagram.<\/p>\n
According to O Globo, Lais has clarified that they didn\u2019t leave cloistered life to be together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had already left the convent three years ago, he had already left the seminary by discernment of the vocation. We had no contact, we even lived in different states\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was only after that that we started to relate, so there were no scandals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lais and Jackson Dognini met while they were both living lives of religious servitude.
