Gabriel Medina and Isabella Arantes marry, announce first child
Surfing champion Gabriel Medina and model‑influencer Isabella Arantes were married on 30 July 2026 in a seaside ceremony at Paúba, São Sebastião, São Paulo. The intimate event gathered about 100 guests, including friends such as footballer Neymar, singer Thiaguinho and fellow surfers. The couple had become engaged only 20 days earlier during a trip to Lisbon.
During their vows, Medina surprised the audience by revealing that the pair are expecting their first child. He said, “Deus nos deu o maior presente, nosso filho,” and later confirmed the baby will be a boy named Gael. The announcement was met with applause from the guests. The wedding also generated media buzz over Neymar’s dress‑code gaffe – he arrived as the only guest in black after Medina forgot to send the dress‑code details.
The celebration was further highlighted by an emotional video posted by Medina’s mother, Simone, who expressed joy over the newborn’s arrival and the reconciliation with her son after past family tensions.
