Neymar becomes father for fourth time

Neymar has become a father for the fourth time – the couple announced the news on social media. 

This time, the Brazilian welcomed a daughter named Mel, his second child with Bruna Biancardi.

"Our Mel has arrived to make our lives even sweeter! Welcome, baby girl! May God bless your life and protect you from all evil."

"We can't wait to live this new chapter with you :) We love you so much!" wrote the footballer's partner.

His first son, Davi Lucca, was born in 2011 to ex-girlfriend Carolina Dantas. 

He later had a daughter, Mavie, with Biancardi, while another daughter, also named Mavie, was born to Amanda Kimberly, making for a uniquely blended family now growing with the arrival of baby Mel.

Now back in Brazil since his return to Santos in January, Neymar has been able to spend more time close to his family. The Brazilian icon recently extended his contract with Santos until the end of 2025, though speculation continues about his next move ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The all-time leading scorer for Brazil is expected to stay involved in family life while continuing to assess his future in football.
