— I criticized everyone who dated younger women. I used to only like people who were older than me. Then I made a video of one of my songs, she asked me to record a message for her father, friendship began and soon we were together Xande recalled the beginning of their romance.

Thay also spoke about the beginning of the relationship:

— We met at a recording of his music video “Meu pitel”, where I asked to take a photo and a video for my father. I posted the video on Instagram and tagged him. Then he started following me and one of my photos served as inspiration for him, which resulted in a beautiful song called “Sweet Girl.” A very good and healthy friendship developed. Our relationship was casual, without any interest between the two parties, and in that part he won me over.

The relationship between Thay and Xande is characterized by a 30year age difference. However, Thay believes that dealing with the personality difference is more difficult to deal with than the age difference.

— I think the age difference is less relevant than the personality difference since it’s just numbers. The numbers of today, the numbers of tomorrow, they will always exist. “The most important thing is respect, and that’s what I admire most about our relationship,” she said.
