AMANDA Kimberlly is a Brazilian model and social media influencer who gave birth to Neymar’s third child.
Here we take a look at her background and connection to the famous footballer.
Amanda Kimberlly was born on October 7, 2001.
She hails from Parana, Brazil, but has settled in the country’s capital city, Sao Paulo.
Kimberlly came to prominence by appearing on the Brazilian dating reality show Are You the One? in 2016.
Kimberlly is a model and an influencer who has amassed a significant following on social media.
She has a million followers on Instagram as of October 8, 2024.
Despite her impressive audience, she maintains a relatively low profile on the platform, having shared around only 25 posts.
Her content showcases her modelling career — stylish photos featuring her in various fashionable outfits.
Beyond her modelling career and newfound motherhood, Kimberlly is also involved in charitable work.
She works with an organisation called Project Gaia, but details of her role are not available.
Although most of Kimberlly’s lines of employment are very much in the public eye, it seems she does her best to maintain a relatively low profile.
The exact nature and timeline of Kimberlly’s relationship with Neymar remains somewhat unclear.
Their connection became public knowledge when rumours began circulating in January 2024 that Neymar was expecting a child with a Brazilian model.
The gossip was particularly controversial because it emerged shortly after Neymar had separated from Bruna Biancardi, with whom he had welcomed a daughter named Mavie in October 2023.
It appears that Kimberlly’s pregnancy might have resulted from a brief affair with Neymar, which reportedly occurred while the footballer was recovering from a knee injury.
This suggests the apparent fling was relatively short-lived and may have overlapped with Neymar’s previous relationship.
There is no indication that Neymar and Kimberlly are in a romantic relationship.
They reportedly don’t even follow each other on social media platforms, suggesting their connection is primarily centred around baby Helena.
When news of Kimberlly’s pregnancy first broke, Neymar reportedly demanded a DNA test to confirm his paternity.
This request came amid rumours of his infidelity while still in a relationship with his ex Biancardi.
The situation was further complicated by the fact that Kimberlly was already three months pregnant when the news became public, coinciding with Neymar’s recovery period from the knee injury.
In January 2023, Brazilian tabloid Portal LeoDias reported: “Neymar is going to be a father for the third time.
“The mother is a Brazilian model who is three months pregnant.
“She fell pregnant while they were having an affair, including while the footballer was recovering from a knee injury.
“There is concern about the health of the baby’s mother, who recently had to undergo some treatments.
“The pregnancy was a surprise, but they were having a romance.”
Helena, Neymar’s third child, was born on July 7, 2024.
The news of her birth was announced by Neymar on his Instagram account, where he shared a series of photos featuring the newborn.
Neymar wrote: “You are already much loved by this family! Welcome my daughter!”
Kimberlly also took to social media to announce Helena’s birth, sharing a photo of the baby’s foot and thanking God for the blessing of her daughter.
She also expressed gratitude to her family and the medical team who assisted during the delivery.
