Gordão da XJ and his fiancée Nicolle Caroline posed in swimwear in the snow, and the photos traveled far beyond their following. The Brazilian influencer, real name Sidney Bezerra, and his partner of several years shared the pictures on Thursday, October 8, from a trip to Chile. Both are 22, and neither had seen snow in person before the vacation.
The couple’s beachwear-in-a-blizzard look was the hook, but the backstory carried the posts. Gordão da XJ has documented a major weight loss journey publicly, and UOL reports he has lost roughly 140 kilograms from a peak of about 350 kg. Shot midway through that transformation, the Chile frames put his health progress right alongside the mountain scenery.
The pair used the moment to answer the reaction their relationship always draws. Marie Claire Brazil noted their caption, “that our love be bigger than the prejudice,” and Ofuxico described the set as a direct answer to the body-shaming comments that follow them online. Meio Norte summed up the mood with their line “even the snow turns to heat.”
The engagement behind the trip has its own timeline. Gordão da XJ proposed in March 2026 during a movie session, an intimate setup he prepared as a formal declaration before Nicolle accepted, as Notícias ao Minuto recounted. In an August interview with Quem magazine, he credited her with keeping him steady through the hardest stretches of his transformation, saying that without her he does not believe he would have made it this far.
His platform reach explains why the snapshots spread so fast. The influencer’s Instagram account counts 4.9 million followers, and profile trackers like Favikon place him near the top of Brazil’s wellness and lifestyle creator tier. He began posting dance clips back in July 2021, per Famous Birthdays, a modest start for a creator who now lands mainstream Brazilian magazine covers.
For Hypefresh readers, the Chile moment fits a run of Brazilian creator stories worth following. Kiana Dufour bringing her buzz to Southern Mississippi soccer showed how far Brazilian talent now travels, and the foiled bomb plot at Lady Gaga’s Copacabana show put a security frame around Brazil’s biggest public events. Gordão da XJ’s snow photos are the lighter chapter of that same creator-economy wave.
Response to the posts ran mostly warm, with commenters celebrating the couple’s confidence and the visible progress of the health journey. The mocking chorus showed up too. Rather than trade replies, the pair let their caption do the answering, and the photos carried the rest. Their snow debut closed on the note they picked themselves: love first, noise second.
