Brazilian football star Neymar and his partner, Bruna Biancardi, have confirmed the exciting news that they are expecting their second child together.

The announcement, which had been the subject of swirling rumours for weeks, was made in a heartfelt Instagram post on Christmas Day, December 25.

The Al-Hilal forward celebrated the festive season alongside Bruna at a red-themed Christmas party, after which the couple shared their joyous news on social media to end the year in style.

Bruna, already the mother of their daughter Mavie, posted a touching message to reveal the pregnancy.

"We are living in such a sweet phase," she wrote sharing an adorable clip of the baby’s gender reveal party.

“We couldn’t help but share with you that HE has once again heard our requests and confirmed our plans! Welcome, daughter. May God protect us from all evil. Amen!”

A delighted Neymar responded in the comments: “Father of 3 princesses. What a moment.”

This upcoming addition will mark Neymar’s fourth child.

The Al Hilal star welcomed his third child, Helena, with Amanda Kimberly just months ago.

Now, the 31-year-old star is preparing to expand his family yet again.

Fans have flooded the couple’s social media posts with congratulations, celebrating the footballer’s growing family.

Bruna and Neymar’s baby girl is expected to arrive in 2025, and fans are already eager to see how the on-and-off couple will navigate this new chapter.
