The event, which confirmed the couple was expecting a boy, served as a touching tribute to a man who had always dreamed of becoming a father.
The emotional ceremony took place by a lake in the city of Itaberaí, located in the northwest region of Goiás state. Tatiele, dressed in white, was surrounded by simple decorations including balloons, a teddy bear, and a framed photograph of Gabriel. The climax of the event arrived when the smoke from the reveal turned blue, indicating a boy, a moment that visibly moved the expectant mother.

The impact caused the second vehicle to catch fire and become completely engulfed in flames, immobilizing it on the road. Gabriel died at the scene of the accident.
The accident also resulted in injuries to another individual. However, as of the latest reports, the health status of that injured person has not been updated. The circumstances surrounding the collision remain under the purview of the authorities.
