Known on social media as Arthur O Urso, model and influencer Arturo Mederos used a very spacious car to celebrate the wedding of his nine brides. He rented a 15seat Cadillac Escalade to transport everyone to the ceremony, which was held at a church in São Paulo.
The outspoken supporter of polyamory, Urso, 37, has also made headlines outside of Brazil because of the number of women. After the symbolic church wedding, one of his partners left the relationship, claiming he preferred monogamy.
“I don’t have a big enough car and the way out was to hire a limousine. None of them had ridden in a car like this before, and it was an added attraction,” says the influencer, who says he spoke to about 80 churches before finding one that accepted them.
Arthur clarifies that the celebration took place on November 1st last year and reappeared after moving to a villa in João Pessoa (PB) with his companions two months ago. Until then, the extended family moved between São Paulo and the capital Paraíba, where Urso grew up.

He adds that the renovation of the site has just started and should be completed within a month and a half.

A few days ago, Arthur posted a photo of the house wall on Instagram, which was spraypainted with the slogan “Demon Family”.
“After waking up and opening the door for the construction team, they broke the news that the mansion wall was covered in graffiti! I don’t do anything wrong building a house for me and my wives. We just want to live in peace! any form of love is fair,” protested the model.

Despite having so many partners, he says he is only legally married to one of them: Luana Kazaki, his first wife and with whom he is still together today. The two began their open relationship seven years ago.
He also shares the same roof with Bethânia, Tainá, Lorena, Emelly, Melina, Kyara, and Thayenne. In Brazil, marriage to more than one person at the same time is forbidden by law and is opposed by many religions.

In addition to living free love, as he says, Arthur is a car fan: in 2021 he bought a MercedesBenz CLA 200 and a Range Rover Evoque as well as a BMW S 1000 RR motorcycle.
However, the number of wives makes him consider acquiring a different type of vehicle especially since Urso has the “dream” of expanding the number of companions to ten and additionally having a son or daughter each.
“I intend to seek sponsorship to buy a minibus or other vehicle with room for all of us. I also dream of a BMW 428i convertible. Ever since I was young, I’ve always wanted a convertible and lots of women to drive in it.”

Arthur recalls a trip he took with his wives in a MercedesBenz last June that highlighted the need to have more than one car, or a much larger option.
“I really like the CLA, it’s the first car I’ve ever owned and I learned to drive it. However, it is very low and they do not all fit in it. In 2021 we traveled with it from João Pessoa to Praia da Pipa, in Rio Grande do Norte. Two tires broke on the way and the car does not have a spare wheel. I had to call the insurance company and call the tow truck,” he recalls.
Arturo Mederos reports that he bought the Evoque during his stay in Pipa while the insurance company was returning the Mercedes to João Pessoa.
“I needed a bigger car. My brother chose the car there in Paraíba and drove the Evoque to where we were.”
A proponent of polyamory, Arthur also acquired a BMW motorcycle with his postings on the adult site OnlyFans.

Urso points out that “one or two” of his eight wives drive the family’s cars, while most still want to learn to drive: “I know that our lifestyle is criticized, but we live how we want.”
