For years Ronaldinho has mesmerised football lovers across the globe with his wizardry with the ball on the field. His skills and ball control are legendary.
A bit of that juggling with the ball on the field seems to have stood him in good stead off the field, too, if reports of him marrying his two girlfriends at the same time are to be believed. A Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Dia reported that Ronaldinho is planning to get married to Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza in August this year at his Rio mansion.
The 38-year-old Brazilian star midfielder, however, rubbished the rumours. “The whole world is calling me. I’m not going to get married, it is the biggest lie,” Ronaldinho told a TV channel.
Reports suggest that Ronaldinho was staying with both Coelho and Souza in his mansion, and that the two women get along well. He started dating Souza in 2016 while continuing his relationship with Coelho, whom he started dating three years ago.
The reports also said that Ronaldinho gives both of them an allowance of £1,500 each and that he buys the same gifts for both the women. Though he has never admitted to the relationship publicly, the three have, reportedly, often attended events together.
Bigamy and polygamy are both illegal in Brazil. The wedding, if it happens, will be a rare form of three-person civil union, as it wouldn't be counted as two official marriages, reports said.
Ronaldinho scored 33 goals for Brazil national team in 97 matches, which included two FIFA World Cups. He was part of the 2002 World Cup-winning Brazilian team. He has played for Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and A.C. Milan and has won the FIFA World Player of the Year award twice.
