A priest and nun gave up their vows to be together

TikTok user @tomascamr tells us how he left the seminary after seven years and his girlfriend left the convent after six.

Both were fully dedicated to their spiritual training. “I remember talking the most, I don’t know, three times with her in all those years. I was really super focused on what was mine,” says Tomás. Meanwhile Massiel revealed that she was always a“ contemplative nun ”so she spent a lot of time “in silence and solitude”.

Tomás describes how the love story began

Cam and Pereyra studied theology together at the seminary and although nothing happened between them there, they met three times. They found love when they met three years later without their habits on.

After this meeting in their street clothes, they began to message each other on Instagram. “She saw me as new on Instagram and she added me… then she wrote to me and here we are,” says the former seminarian.

It’s a cinematic love story

They describe their first date and when they realized they were in love: “It all really started when we started talking (…) I loved it. And I just wanted to keep listening to him,” Massiel said.

Currently, Tomas and Massiel are happy they gave their hearts to each other. They share their love with God, while telling their story on social media.
