Neymar and his partner Bruna Biancardi have celebrated the birth of their second daughter, welcoming baby Mel into the world.
The Brazilian football star is now a father of four.
His eldest, Davi Lucca, was born in 2011 to ex-girlfriend Carolina Dantas, while he also shares daughter Mavie with current lover Biancardi and another child, Helena, with Amanda Kimberly.

A proud Bruna Biancardi shared the couple鈥檚 first photos with their newborn daughter, all smiles in the heartwarming snaps.
Taking to Instagram, Biancardi wrote:
鈥淥ur Mel has arrived, to complete and sweeten our lives even more! Welcome, daughter! May God bless your life and free you from all evil! We are looking forward to living this new chapter with you 馃檪 We love you!鈥
Messages of congratulations have poured in, as little Mavie begins bonding with her baby sister.
Neymar’s partner fuels marriage rumours
Biancardi, Neymar鈥檚 girlfriend, has reignited speculation by hinting they may already be married – just months after the Brazilian star dismissed similar claims.
Back in March, reports from Brazil suggested the 33-year-old footballer was preparing to tie the knot with his longtime partner.
However, Neymar quickly shut down the rumours, joking in an interview:
鈥淭here鈥檚 nothing planned yet. Tell me the date so I can at least get ready!鈥
While Neymar has frequently referred to Bruna Biancardi as his 鈥渨ife鈥 in public, it seemed the couple hadn鈥檛 legally formalized their relationship 鈥 until now.
The pair welcomed their first child together in 2023, marking a major milestone in their relationship.
However, during Biancardi鈥檚 pregnancy, Neymar publicly admitted to being unfaithful and issued an apology, confessing that he had 鈥渕ade a mistake.鈥
Bruna Biancardi鈥檚 professional career
Biancardi is much more than just the partner of football star Neymar. The 31-year-old Brazilian is a successful content creator, social media influencer, and model known for her work in fashion, beauty, and travel.
With over 13.7 million Instagram followers, Biancardi has collaborated with top brands like Louis Vuitton, Off-White, and Balmain.
Her jet-setting lifestyle, fashion-forward content, and connections 鈥 including a close friendship with Lionel Messi鈥檚 wife, Antonela Roccuzzo 鈥 ensure she remains in the public eye, even when Neymar isn鈥檛 playing.
