Lying Long Island Rep. George Santos proposed to his then-teenage boyfriend while he was still married to a lady — and five years before he got divorced, in accordance with a report.
“Good evening everyone! As you all may already know Pedro and I even have decided to hitch our toothbrushes! Lol and a only a few friends have been chosen to share this special moment with us!,” Santos wrote in a 2014 Facebook invite shared with The Day by day Beast by Santos’ old roommate, Greg Morey-Parker.
Pedro Vilarva, who was 18 when he met the then-26-year-old future congressman in 2014, also confirmed to the outlet that Santos invited friends to rejoice their engagement in November of that 12 months — despite the fact that he never accepted his proposal.
“Thanks for sharing this very essential day in our lives,” Santos wrote on Facebook of the planned Nov. 23 celebration at La Bonne Soupe in midtown Manhattan.
Nonetheless, the party “never happened” because Vilarva repeatedly rejected Santos’ proposals, he told the outlet.
“He asked me 3x but I didn’t accept it,” Santos’ former lover told the Beast via text message. “There was never a celebration [or] anything with regard to it,” he said.
Confusingly, the general public invite got here just two years into Santos’ marriage to Uadla Vieira Santos, a Brazilian woman whom his housemates rarely saw and only knew as “a friend,” in accordance with the Day by day Beast.
Former roommate Morey-Parker told The Day by day Beast that Santos once “tried to get me to marry some Brazilian woman so she could get citizenship” — saying he could earn a living from the deal. The report didn’t elaborate on when that suggestion was made.
Santos’ wife first filed for divorce in May 2013, simply to halt it by the top of that 12 months — 11 months before Santos proposed to his young boyfriend.
He remained legally married until September 2019, ending his mostly secretive marriage lower than two weeks before he filed the official paperwork to launch his initial 2020 campaign.
The openly gay politician didn’t mention his marriage to a lady in either of his campaigns, the Beast noted.
His 2022 campaign initially said he was living along with his husband and their 4 dogs on Long Island. That has since been scrubbed.
One other former roommate, Yasser Rabello, told the outlet that Santos all the time gave the look of a “pathological liar” — even sharing old Facebook messages where the congressman claimed he’d landed a job at CNN.
Rabello said he lived with Santos, his sister and their since-deceased mother in a crowded apartment in Jackson Heights in 2013 and 2014 — but “never knew” his roommate was married on the time.
Santos’ wife was living in Astoria on the time, and the one time he met her, Santos introduced her as “a friend,” Rabello said.
Morey-Parker, meanwhile, told The Day by day Beast that the pol stole from him a hat that a pal gave him after a “had tried to kill myself.”
“Watching him wear that scarf meaning quite quite a bit to me just p—es me the f–k off,” he said.
Santos’ ex-wife didn’t reply to questions, while the under-fire congressman only commented after The Day by day Beast article was already published, the outlet said.
Referring to Morey-Parker, Santos said: “I won’t give comment to slanderous accusations made by an individual of the likes of Gregory.”
