#5 Neymar

Neymar in a playful mood with his son

The next star of world football, Neymar, is one of the most popular upcoming footballers. He is Brazil’s darling and the only hope for a World Cup title in the forthcoming years.

Outside the pitch, the 24-year-old has tried his hand at a few things like music, acting, and business. However, the one thing that he excels in off the pitch is fatherhood. With his ex-girlfriend, Neymar has a son, David Lucca, who was born in 2011.

At the birth of his son, Neymar said, “I cried when I learned that I would be his father. At first, I felt fear. Then joy. It is a new responsibility and I am now enjoying it.”


#6 Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez is perhaps the most destructive striker in world football at the moment. The prolific goal-scorer has had his share of controversies on the pitch, but off the pitch, he is a normal human being like the rest of us.

Suarez has a daughter and a son, Delfina, and Benjamin, with his wife Sofia Balbi. He is a good husband and a doting father, who loves spending time with the family.

This picture from Mother’s Day last year, with the three of them wearing connected T-shirts, wishing Sofia a happy mother’s day is absolutely adorable.
