REAL Madrid star Eder Militao and fellow Brazilian footballer Leonardo Pereira have done a couple swap.
Pereira, who plays for top-flight Serie A side Flamengo, has spent the last few months flaunting his love for Karoline Lima who used to date Militao and has a child with him.
But the Spain-based centre back has now gone public with his relationship with Pereira’s ex Taina Castro.
The 26-year-old wrote: “My perfect couple” against a video he posted on his Instagram Live showing him playing Teqball, a fast-growing sport that combines football with table tennis with the gorgeous Brazilian against friends.
Taina and Leonardo Pereira split in July last year but the footballer only confirmed his marriage was over in October, denying rumours he had been unfaithful and saying his break-up with the mother of his two children was by “mutual consent.”
He is said to have met Karoline during a work commitment after being seen in the company of a Brazilian model.
The couple have wasted no time showing off their passion for each on social media since they reportedly shared their first kiss last December.
In March, they posted a selfie photo showing them locking lips and tongues before Pereira, who is also a central defender and has played for Brazil at U17 and U20 level, hoisted his new woman up in the air in a skimpy bikini by the beach in Brazil.
Shortly after the footballer posted a picture of model and influencer Karoline sharing a cup success with him on the pitch and wrote: “Another one my love. We’re still invincible. It’s the beginning of a wonderful story that we’re going to build together. Thank you for everything, I love you.”
Brazilian international Militao has been more discreet despite rumours beginning about his close friendship with Pereira’s ex since the Christmas holidays and recent social media posts showing Taina in Madrid for his mum’s birthday.

The footballer’s ‘perfect couple’ post on Instagram Live has been seen in their native Brazil as the confirmation they are dating.
There is no suggestion any of the four are unhappy about the current situation.
Argentinian Mauro Icardi propelled himself into the spotlight with his soap-opera style fallout over Wanda Nara with former friend and ex-Sampdoria teammate Maxi Lopez.
Wanda divorced Lopez, her first husband and father of three of her five children, after accusing him of cheating on her.
She married Icardi, now playing for Galatasaray, in May 2014 shortly after the divorce from Lopez was finalised.
The love triangle between the two players and pretty WAG Nara was exposed in November 2013 when it was revealed Icardi had made moves on his former friend’s wife as their marriage fell apart.
Lopez refused to shake his ex-pal’s hand when they met on the field in an April 2014 Serie A match between Sampdoria and Inter, leading the press to dub the game the ‘Wanda derby.’
Things between them soured even more in June 2015 when Icardi tweeted a new arm tattoo of the three children Wanda had with Maxi Lopez with the message: “I love these three little angels.”
