Internet Explodes As Former Nun Marries Ex-Priest

In a story that has captivated social media and religious circles alike, Lais Dognini, a former nun turned influencer, has married ex-priest Jackson Dognini after years of shared faith and prayer brought them together.

According to Brazilian outlet O Globo, the pair met more than six years ago in missionary spaces but never spoke. Lais spent two years in a Carmelite convent, dedicating herself to prayer and service, while Jackson trained for five years in the seminary. Their paths only crossed meaningfully when Lais fell into depression and left the convent to focus on her recovery.

Jackson, still in the seminary at the time, sent her a message offering prayers for her wellbeing. “It doesn’t seem like much, right? But let’s face it, we’re adults now and we know what we want in life,” Lais wrote on Instagram when revealing their secret marriage, which took place in March. The couple began dating in April 2024 and became engaged last October.

Their union, blending faith and romance, has drawn a whirlwind of reactions online. Supporters celebrated the couple’s courage, with one Instagram user writing: “It wasn’t an escape from their calling, it was a reunion with it.” Another commented: “God writes correctly through lines we didn’t even know existed.”

On Twitter, reactions ranged from humorous to reflective. @Nonso005 wrote: “Women get power sha, someone supposedly called to serve was called again by a woman and he answered.” Others joked about the unconventional romance: @TalkAmForPidgin quipped, “Holy Spirit don turn matchmaker! 😂🔥” while @Sir_muba simply stated: “Everybody say gen gen geun.”

Some users raised more thoughtful observations. @Africaanaah tweeted: “Former Nun and Ex Priest. It gets strange by the day.” @fidelis_sopuru asked: “Hmmmmm. What’s this teaching us?” Meanwhile, others celebrated love triumphing over circumstance: @FelixKakpe45154 said: “What a true love story in the Lord’s vineyard.”

The couple’s journey from religious devotion to marital commitment highlights a blend of faith, personal struggle, and human connection. Their story has ignited conversations on prayer, love, and destiny, capturing the imagination of followers who see it as both extraordinary and relatable.

As Lais and Jackson begin their married life, their story serves as a reminder that paths in life, even those steeped in devotion, can take unexpected yet profoundly human turns.
