Who is Bruna Biancardi? Meet PSG superstar Neymar’s baby mama who is close friends with Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo

Bruna Biancardi and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ace Neymar have announced the impending arrival of their first child. The 29-year-old Brazilian influencer, who is friends with Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo, confirmed the news on Tuesday (April 18) on Instagram.

Born on April 15, 1994, Bruna studied fashion at the Universidade Anhembi Morumbi. She later went on to launch her own apparel brand. Boasting over 4.3 million followers on Instagram, Bruna works as a marketing manager and social media influencer. She's also friends with Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo, with The Sun reporting that the Brazilian model had dinner with them in 2021.

Bruna Biancardi and Neymar’s relationship is not the most straightforward. According to the Sun, the PSG star and the Brazilian internet personality started dating in 2021. In January 2022, they went public with their relationship, announcing their engagement on Instagram.

A few months later, rumors emerged that the pair had split up over alleged infidelity. Bruna was quick to deny them, though, saying that she still had love and respect for the Brazil star (via The Sun):

“Don't believe everything that happens out there. I am very fond of him (Neymar( and his whole family. Please stop involving my name. Thank you.”

The pair have rekindled their romance over the last few months, with Bruna attending the 31-year-old’s birthday party on February 5.
