A man known for having multiple wives has revealed his plans for having a baby with each of his spouses – through surrogacy.
Arthur O Urso regularly hits the headlines thanks to his controversial marriage setup.
At one point the influencer, who boasts 198,000 followers on Instagram, had a total of nine wives. However, he divorced four of them last year.
He is currently 'married' to Luana Kazaki, 27, Emelly Souza, 21, Valquíria Santos, 24, Olinda Maria, 51, Damiana, 23, and Amanda Albuquerque, 28.
Now, with six wives, Arthur, aged 37, is set to be back on track to reclaim his title – but first, he hopes to expand his family through surrogacy.
“I don’t want to make any of my six wives upset by choosing which one gets pregnant first, so we’ve opted for surrogacy,” Arthur, from São Paulo, Brazil, said.
“I’ve never been through anything like this, so it’s the first time.
“We’re very anxious, but excited to make this dream of having a baby come true.”
Currently, he shares a daughter, aged 10, from a previous relationship, but is hoping to welcome a son next.
While he wants to have a child with each of his wives, he’s planning on using his first wife, Luana's, egg, for initial implantation.
Although his other wives, Emelly, Amanda and the aforementioned Olinda, Damiana and Valquíria, are all on board now, they weren’t at first.
He said: “In the beginning, it was a very delicate subject, especially as I want a child with each of [them].
“But that will be later on – at the moment, the best decision is surrogacy.
“[Currently], we are looking for someone who can be our surrogate and we want someone who gives us confidence.
“As we are still in demand, we haven’t spent anything so far.”
Arthur says they are willing to spend 211,000 (BRL) (£33,128) on the process – but are open to looking at the idea of adoption in the future as well.
Arthur and Luana, who are both swingers, decided to open up their relationship in 2021.
They formalised their union with the other women at a Catholic church, although their nuptials aren’t legally binding due to polygamy being illegal in the country.
Earning £50,000-a-month on OnlyFans, where they post videos and photos of their romantic set-up, as well as their sex tips, Luana still calls the shots within their relationship.
Olinda said: “She (Luana) is the first wife and she had to approve of me.
“It was a mix of feelings, but when we met, we already realised the connection that existed between us.
“It seems that I know her from other lives.
“I expect we’re all going to do everything intensely and do everything possible to take care of my love, Arthur.”
