Gabriel Medina: Marriage, pregnancy loss, and surf season

Overview

World‑champion surfer Gabriel Medina married influencer Isabella Arantes on 30 July 2026 at Capela da Paúba in São Sebastião. During the ceremony, attended by approximately 100 guests including Neymar Jr., the couple announced they were expecting a son named Gael. The wedding drew media attention due to a wardrobe mishap where Neymar Jr., serving as godfather, arrived in black attire that diverged from the requested color palette.

On 4 August, a morphological ultrasound revealed the pregnancy had not progressed, confirming a fetal loss. Arantes later shared that the discovery was a shock as she had experienced no physical warning signs like bleeding, noting the experience changed her perspective on self-image. Both expressed a need for privacy and healing, with Medina sharing, “Have faith, don’t rush.”

Despite the loss, Medina continued his World Surf League schedule. While training in Teahupo’o, Tahiti, he sustained a head injury on 6 August that required stitches, though he remained expected to compete in the event scheduled through 18 August. Following his professional commitments, the couple traveled to French Polynesia for their honeymoon to seek rest and recovery.
