A gay influencer couple have announced they are expecting their first child via surrogacy, sharing the news with their millions of followers on social media.

Lucas Rangel and Lucas Bley, who married in a ceremony at the Palacio Tangara in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, on 11th November 2024, revealed that the pregnancy is already in its fifth month.

Rangel, 27, and Bley, 32, posted a short video featuring them holding a black-and-white ultrasound scan image showing the baby inside the surrogate mother's womb.

The video, captioned "Now we will be three," also showed the couple hugging and smiling, visibly emotional as they shared the news with their fans.

Rangel, a former Vine star who has since become one of Brazil's best-known digital content creators, boasts more than 24 million followers on Instagram alone.

Bley, who is also popular on social media and a frequent collaborator in Rangel's content, is a former lawyer who transitioned to a full-time career in content creation and public advocacy.

The couple's wedding was widely covered in Brazilian media and attended by numerous celebrities and online personalities, with images of the celebration going viral.

The date of their wedding was chosen to honour Bley's mother, who passed away, as it coincided with her birthday.

Their announcement was met with an outpouring of joy and congratulations from fans and peers alike, with thousands of comments flooding in within hours.

One user wrote on Instagram: "So happy for you both! Can't wait to see your family grow."
