The front-page report ran with a photograph of a bare-chested and tattoed Xavier

and baby boy, who were both in the photograph. It had apparently taken from
Justo’s Facebook account.

tropical island”. The NST also described him as “living the good life” sharing
an eight-bedroom luxury villa with his new, young wife.
