Vasconcelos’s uncle announced his death saying: “We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen.

“Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in.

“We pray for you! May God, who can do all things, welcome you in His infinite mercy and comfort all who have always loved you!”

Over the course of his seven-year professional career he accumulated a record of 10-6.

Lovato and Vasconcelos were first spotted with each other in 2017, celebrating New Year’s Eve together, and attending a movie on New Year’s Day.

But after several months of dating, they split in May, 2018, reports the relationship “had run its course.”

He died in Los Angeles and left behind a one-year-old daughter who he shared with model Kayla Lauren, Brazilian media claimed.
