Brazil icon Ronaldinho reportedly came close to making history as the first footballer to marry two women on the same day during his playing career.

The Barcelona legend was in a six-year relationship with Brazilian beauty, Priscilla Coelho.

Simultaneously, the two-time Ballon d'Or winner was also romantically involved with Beatriz Souza.

According to Tribuna, there came a point when the legendary footballer decided both women should live together in his $6 million mansion in Rio de Janeiro, and they both agreed.

Priscilla and Beatriz lived in separate bedrooms in the expensive mansion and had designated days to spend time with the superstar.

Priscilla's mother, Maria, opened up about these details in a tell-all interview with Mirror Football.

She said, "He [Ronaldinho] had his bedroom for him and Priscilla, and another bedroom for him and Beatriz. They would never be together in the same bed. One day would be Priscilla's, and the next day, Beatriz’s."

“He gave both of them the same amount of spending money every month, and he would give them the same gifts. He once gave both a Rolex watch.”

Maria stated that the three-way relationship brought shame to her family, but Ronaldinho pressed on undeterred.

The 2002 World Cup winner even planned to marry both women on the same day, despite bigamy being illegal in Brazil and carrying a penalty of up to six years in prison.

In 2018, Ronaldinho finalised plans to marry both women in a private ceremony at the Santa Monica condominium in Rio after proposing to them both in 2017.

However, the wedding never took place for reasons that remain unknown.
