Brazilian soccer (football) star Neymar Jr. is yet to become a father of two as his girlfriend Bruna Biancardi is pregnant. Let’s meet his family
There’s very little that Neymar has left to accomplish in his career at this point. Despite only being 29 years old, the Brazilian professional athlete has succeeded at more things in his short time on Earth so far than many athletes could ever hope to in an entire career.
Neymar’s accolades as an international soccer superstar are what have made him an icon to millions worldwide, but there’s a lot more to the man than his ability to control a soccer ball. Keep reading for details on Neymar’s kids, girlfriend, sister, and other related details surrounding his personal life — including where he plays now.
Does Neymar have any kids?
When he isn’t helping PSG secure victories and remain one of the premier soccer clubs on the planet, he is also a devoted father. Indeed, the athlete is the parent of one child, a son named Davi Lucca. Davi was born back on Aug. 24, 2011, when Neymar was in a relationship with Carolina Dantas, a Brazilian social media personality.
The two never wed, and eventually, their relationship fizzled, but Neymar remained a loving and present father to Davi. In recent times, Neymar has even expressed his wishes to have more children in the future. In an interview with British GQ in 2021, Neymar said that “I’m almost 30, and I have a good career, but on a personal level I want to have two more kids, to give my son Davi some brothers.”
Neymar is not done having kids, in fact, he is expecting his second baby with his current girlfriend, Bruna Biancardi.
The couple started dating during the pandemic in 2020 and kept their relationship low-key. Last summer, they went through a break-up but reconciled in January this year. In mid-April, Biancardi announced her pregnancy alongside happy pictures of the couple.
After months and months of speculation, Neymar’s fans finally began to catch glimpses of his new love interest, Bruna Biancardi, in his day-to-day life. There were rumors that the soccer player had a new boo after pics of the pair were snapped in Ibiza back in August 2021, followed by rumors that the Brazilian native returned to her home country with Neymar for Christmas. The truth is the couple started dating during the pandemic in 2020 and kept their relationship low-key. Last summer, they went through a break-up but reconciled in January this year.
In mid-April, Biancardi announced her pregnancy alongside happy pictures of the couple.
In a June 21, 2023, Instagram post, Neymar decided to hold himself accountable and reveal that he cheated on Bruna.
“Bru. I do this for both of you and your family. Justify the unjustifiable. No need to. But I need you in OUR lives,” Neymar wrote. “I saw how much you were exposed, how much you suffered with all of this, and how much you want to be by my side. And I stand beside you.”
Neymar continued: “Bru, I already apologized for my mistakes, for unnecessary exposure, but I feel obligated to publicly reaffirm that. If a private matter has become public, the apology has to be public. I can’t imagine without you. I don’t know if we’ll work out, but TODAY you’re sure I want to try.”
Despite Neymar manning up and providing Bruna with a public apology, he made it a point not to reveal the woman who he had an affair with. Some may call it being respectful since the couple is focused on repairing their relationship, while others believe it’s only a matter of time before the woman’s identity is revealed.
Who is Neymar’s sister?
Neymar’s younger sister, Rafaella Santos, was born on March 11, 1996, in Brazil. Although her brother is one of the most famous athletes in the world, Rafaella hasn’t spent much time in his shadow. Instead, the young mogul developed her own brand identity and has since become a successful influencer and model, boasting over 6 million followers on Instagram.
There is a longstanding joke among Neymar’s fans that Rafaella’s birthday carries some sort of curse in terms of his ability to play soccer. Basically, the star has ended up injured more often than not around the time of his sister’s birthday on several different years starting in 2015. But hey, at least he gets to attend his sister’s birthday parties, right?
Where does Neymar play now?
Neymar has held many titles in the world of soccer throughout his career. To this day, he is still the second-highest goalscorer for the Brazilian national team, with the only person to ever outscore him being Pelé. Talk about some legendary company!
Today, he plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, and although his move to the team was somewhat controversial to begin with, it has proven to be a success both on a personal level for him and on a team level for PSG. Initially, his transfer from Barcelona to PSG stood as the most expensive deal of its kind in the history of soccer, valued at roughly $263 million, per Forbes.
