Brazil star Neymar announces fifth child during World Cup

Brazilian footballer Neymar used Instagram on June 16 to reveal that his wife, Bruna Biancardi, is pregnant again. The couple expect a third child together, which will make Neymar a father of five, joining his two daughters Mavi (2) and Mel (11 months) with Biancardi, his 14‑year‑old son Daví Luca from a previous relationship with influencer Carol Dantas, and his daughter Helena from an earlier link with Amanda Kimberly. Neymar joked that he might "go crazy" and start a band after the news.

The announcement came while Neymar is recovering from an injury that forced him to miss Brazil's opening World Cup match against Morocco. He remains uncertain about his playing time as Brazil prepares for its next group‑stage game against Haiti.
