Just months after Neymar denied marriage rumors, his longtime partner Bruna Biancardi has stirred up speculation all over again—this time with a cryptic Instagram comment that’s left fans scratching their heads. During a Q&A with her 13.7 million followers on Saturday, one fan asked Biancardi when she planned to tie the knot. Her six-word response?
“We are already married on paper.”
This puzzling statement comes only a few months after Neymar laughed off similar wedding rumors in a January interview, saying, “There’s nothing planned yet. Tell me the date so I can at least get ready!” The contradiction has sparked confusion, especially given the couple’s already tumultuous history. The pair welcomed their daughter, Mavie, in 2023, and despite Neymar publicly admitting to infidelity during Biancardi’s pregnancy, she chose to forgive him. The couple is now reportedly expecting a second child.
The mystery deepens because Neymar has casually referred to Biancardi as his “wife” in public before, possibly as a term of endearment, but fans had no reason to believe it was official. Biancardi’s latest comment, however, suggests a civil marriage may have already taken place privately. So far, Neymar hasn’t responded publicly to her claim. Their relationship has been rocky, to say the least. Brazilian outlet Leo Dias reported earlier this year that Neymar allegedly attended a party with 20 escorts, igniting fresh cheating rumors. It’s unclear how that affected the couple, but Biancardi has stayed silent on the matter.
To add to the drama, Neymar is currently battling COVID-19 for the second time. Santos FC confirmed the diagnosis, stating that he began showing symptoms on June 5 and is currently resting at home. With health concerns, baby number two on the way, and mixed messages about their marital status, it’s no wonder fans are unsure about where Neymar and Bruna Biancardi truly stand. Whether “already married on paper” means a quiet courthouse ceremony or simply a symbolic label remains to be seen—but one thing’s certain: nothing is ever quiet in Neymar’s world.
