Personal Life

In 2022, Tcho broke his left ankle while playing for Ipatinga Futebol Clube. During his time rehabilitating there, witnesses claim to have seen Tcho engaged in secretive rendezvous with a woman. He was seen at Arena Club and Cantina Tia Nena with said woman. Due to the said controversy, this added to his dismissal from Ipatinga Futebol Clube and he now resides in Milford, Massachusetts, USA, with his wife Luciana and two children.

There is speculation that he does have a love-child with said woman in Ipatinga.
