Actress and influencer Clara Brasil has said she 'does not care about other people’s opinions’ after receiving continued criticism for dating a man who is 50 years her senior.
The 30-year-old reportedly started dating Marco Polo Del Nero, a former Brazilian football president, in November last year.
Del Nero, who is set to turn 81 next month, boasts an impressive career, starting off as a lawyer before becoming president of the Brazilian Football Confederation and a member of the FIFA Executive Committee.

However, he was handed a lifetime ban by FIFA in 2018 for taking bribes.
Brasil recently took to Instagram to address the criticism to her 344,000 followers during a Q&A session, in which she revealed she is unbothered by the negativity surrounding her relationship with the 80-year-old.
A female follower asked for her advice about being in a relationship with an older man, and Brasil replied: “I have received and continue to receive a lot of criticism, but I don't know if I'm so busy with other things that I just don't care about other people's opinions.

She added: “I'm super happy, I'm super respected, super loved and I feel very happy. I don't care.”
Brasil has appeared in a number of TV shows, such as comedy Zorra Total, which was actually considered to be one of the worst programmes on Brazilian TV when it was released.
She also launched a career as a Brazilian funk singer.
Another Instagram model has lifted the lid on the tonnes of creepy DMs she receives - and her brilliant responses.
Paige Woolen has amassed 301,000 followers on her main account, where she shares typical modely style photos in swimsuits and the like.

And she has accumulated a further 72,500 followers on her 'dudes in the dm' account, where - as you can probably guess - she offers us a glimpse into the sort of sordid messages she receives on the daily.
Explaining the inspiration behind the 'dudes in the dm' account on Lisa Ann's Dudes Do Better, Paige said: "I post sexy photos on Instagram in my bikini, etc, etc, and over the past couple of years I would always screenshot whenever someone would say something mean to me and I would respond back like making fun of them, or making fun of myself.
"And I was looking through all these screenshots and I thought, 'These may benefit people, this might make someone laugh or make these girls feel less alone that constantly get bullied online.'"
