The personal life of a young football player who has earned a fortune haunts millions of people around the world.
It is known that Neymar loves to spend money thoughtlessly. Because of this, he even got into several unpleasant stories. At the age of 19, Neymar became not only the best football player in South America, but also a father. His 17-year-old girlfriend Carolina gave birth to his son, who was named Davi Lucca. The football player never built a relationship with his son’s mother. Before moving to Spain, he dated compatriot actress Bruna Marchesini for two years. In February 2014, information appeared that Neymar had an affair with Brazilian model Gabriella Lenzi.

Neymar is not the only child in the family; there is also a younger sister. Currently, Neymar has a very good relationship with her, as evidenced by the tattoo on his arm that the footballer made in honor of his sister.
When he was born, the family decided to move to San Vicente. Growing up, the boy became increasingly interested in the sport that his father had once enjoyed. It was he who became a coach for his son, teaching him the intricacies and rules of the popular sports game.
In 2003, Neymar entered the children's academy of the Santos football club, as a result of which the family was again forced to change home. They moved to the city of Santos, consonant with the name of his first football team and the surname of the entire family.
For the success shown by 14-year-old Neymar on the football field, he was invited to the youth academy of Real Madrid. However, Santos did not want to part with the promising player and did everything to keep him. From that moment on, a lot changed in Neymar’s biography; he began to earn good money, thanks to which the family bought a house.
