  • Brazilian football star Neymar announced he and his wife Bruna Biancardi are expecting their fifth child together, a girl.

  • Neymar is currently recovering from an injury and hopes to play in Brazil's upcoming World Cup matches.

Brazilian football icon Neymar has announced he is expecting his fifth child, and third with influencer Bruna Biancardi. The couple revealed they are having a baby girl in an emotional social media video.

"I'm going to go crazy," the player expressed in the video, which showed the couple with their two young daughters, Mavie and Mel, and Neymar's older son, Davi Lucca. The gender reveal involved the family playfully smearing paint on each other, discovering it was pink, signaling a daughter.

Neymar, 34, joked about starting a band, referencing the fact that his last three children are girls. The video did not feature Helena, born from a previous relationship while Neymar was with Biancardi. The birth of Helena had caused a temporary rift between Neymar and Biancardi, though they later reconciled and married.

The star player is currently recovering from a pre-World Cup injury. He aims to be fit for Brazil's upcoming group stage matches, having missed their opening game against Morocco, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Brazil is scheduled to play Haiti next, followed by Scotland.
