A YouTuber is feared dead after leaping from a cruise ship into sea after a row with his girlfriend on what was supposed to be a dream trip.
Earlier Carlos Alberto Mota Candreva, 32 had posted videos from the ship as it sailed from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro along Brazil’s South Atlantic Ocean coast.
One shows the luxury cabin Carlos had booked for the two-day New Year trip with model agency boss Vitoria Barbara Momenso, 27.
Carlos tells his followers: “Still here at the Port of Santos, we are waiting to leave.
“Let’s see what it will be, there’s a party tonight. My suitcase hasn’t arrived at the cabin door yet. We’re here, enjoying it.”
A second clip shows the MSC Preziosa at sea with the sun going down shot from the boat’s luxury restaurant.
Carlos, a DJ who ran a news commentary channel on YouTube, captioned it ‘I Love Sunsets’.
But just hours later Carlos reportedly threw himself more than 200 feet into the ocean. After an angry row with Vitoria over their two-year romance.
Carlos, reports local media, wanted an exclusive official relationship while Vitoria wanted to stay casual.

Crew on the ‘New Year’s Eve On The High Seas’ cruise raised the alarm after Carlos disappeared in the early hours of 30th December.
Vitoria told local media: “He thought he couldn’t see me with someone else, that he couldn’t handle it.”
She told how Carlos stormed off and came back telling her she was making a fool of him before jumping into the sea.
Vitoria said: “I was very shocked. I just froze”
She added: “I can’t eat, I’m trying to eat, but it’s not going down.
“I will definitely have to go to therapy. I’m going to be traumatised for the rest of my life.”
Cruise operators MSC Cruzeiros confirmed that a passenger was reported missing while the vessel was sailing to Angra dos Reis, an island paradise on the way to Rio.
They said in a statement to local media: “A thorough search was carried out on board and it was confirmed that the guest intentionally jumped overboard.
“The incident was immediately reported to the competent authorities and the Coast Guard released the ship to continue its journey.”
The Brazilian Navy has taken up the search for Carlos.
