Brazilian three‑time world surf champion Gabriel Medina announced his engagement to influencer Isabella Arantes on 10 July 2026 while traveling in Lisbon. Twenty days later the couple were married in an intimate ceremony at the historic Baroque‑style Capela da Paúba on Paúba beach in São Sebastião, São Paulo, with roughly 100 family members and close friends. Pastor André Fernandes officiated; Medina’s attire was styled by Ricardo Almeida and Isabella wore a white lace dress. The wedding, organized in a record 15‑day timeframe by senior cerimonialist Junior Donatto, was kept largely secret, including the pregnancy. During the vows Medina surprised guests by announcing they are expecting their first child, a boy named Gael, prompting applause and widespread social‑media buzz. Notable attendees included footballer Neymar Jr., who served as godfather, singer Thiaguinho, surfer Pedro Scooby, actor Rafael Zulu and media personality Bruna Biancardi. Neymar arrived in an all‑black smoking, a dress‑code mismatch that sparked jokes; he later posted an Instagram Story apologising for the oversight. He attended with his wife Bruna Biancardi and their daughter Mavie. After the ceremony, Medina’s mother Simone posted an emotional video expressing joy over the upcoming birth and reconciling with her son after past family tensions. On 2 August 2026 Simone Medina again used Instagram to celebrate the marriage and the pending arrival of the baby, thanking Isabella for her character and reflecting on Gabriel’s journey from childhood to fatherhood. The same day, fellow Brazilian celebrity singer Simone Mendes marked her son Henry’s 12th birthday with a public tribute, highlighting a wave of family celebrations among Brazil’s public figures.
