NEYMAR and his model girlfriend Bruna Biancardi have announced that they are expecting their second child just over a year after their split.
The pair confirmed the shock news as they spent Christmas together with family and friends.
Bruna, who gave birth to their first child Mavie in October last year, revealed she is pregnant with another girl in an emotional video she posted to her 12.3 million Instagram fans.
The video showed Mavie kissing her stomach as she lay alongside the Al-Hilal striker and Neymar’s son Davi Lucca, 13.
They went on to reveal the sex of the child they are expecting after releasing pink smoke and confetti following a ‘Boy or Girl’ countdown.
The 30-year-old brunette wrote in a message alongside the video: “We are living such a sweet phase, and could not help but share with you that HE has once again heard our requests and confirmed our plans.
“Welcome, daughter, may you arrive in good health. We are waiting for you to complete our family even more. May God protect us from all evil.”
Neymar, 32, shared Bruna’s post on his social media.
The pregnancy confirmation marked a remarkable turnaround to the couple’s turbulent last year and a half.
Bruna confirmed she and the Brazil international were no longer together 13 months ago.

The model and influencer took to social media to address for the first time rumours they had ended their relationship after the footballer was accused of asking an OnlyFans model for nude photos and trying to flirt with another woman at a party he hosted at his Brazilian mansion.
Bruna gave birth to Mavie at a luxury maternity clinic in Sao Paulo on October 6 last year, just weeks after Neymar was forced to respond to claims he had cheated on her after he was filmed partying with two women in a Barcelona nightclub.
On November 28 last year Bruna, who went official on her relationship with Neymar in January 2023, told her Instagram followers: “This is a private affair but as I’m linked on a daily basis to news reports, suppositions and jokes, I’m informing you that I’m not in a relationship.
“We are Mavie’s parents and that’s the reason for our link.
“I hope that with this people stop linking me to these frequent pieces of news. Thank you.”
She spoke out just hours after screen grabs purporting to show a WhatsApp conversation between Neymar and OnlyFans model Aline Farias were published in Brazilian press.
The footballer reacted by claiming the exchange was years-old.
Neymar, whose teenage son’s mum is his former girlfriend Carolina Danta, was accused of cheating on his partner in October last year after he was filmed partying with two women in a Barcelona nightclub.
Bruna reacted to the video and cheat claims by admitting she was “disappointed” but focusing on her pregnancy.
She said in a social media message before giving birth: “Good afternoon, I’m aware of what happened and once again I am disappointed but in the final stage of my pregnancy.
“My focus and worries are directed to my daughter and that is all I will think about at the moment. I thank you all for the messages of love.”
In June last year Neymar posted a grovelling apology to Biancardi and their unborn child on social media after previous allegations of infidelity.
He wrote: “Bru. I do this for both of you and for your family. Justify the unjustifiable. No need to. But I need you in OUR lives
“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 want to be by your side.
“I did wrong. I did wrong to you both. I risk saying I’m wrong every day, on and off the pitch. But I like to resolve my mistakes in my personal life within my own home with my family and friends…
“All of this affected one of the most special people in my life. The woman I dreamed of following beside me, the mother of my child. It affected your intimacy at this special moment which is maternity. Bru, I ask for forgiveness for my mistakes.”
After the couple’s break-up it emerged Brazilian model and influencer Amanda Kimberley was pregnant with Neymar’s child.
Their daughter Helena is now four months old.
The footballer and Bruna are understood to have reignited their love affair over the summer with the help of therapy and friends.
She is said to have moved to Saudi Arabia with Mavie in July after deciding to give the footballer another chance.
In a recent video Neymar showed off an engagement ring and said he had retired from partying.
