On Friday, July 19, the soccer star, 32, introduced his newborn daughter Helena in a post on Instagram, following her arrival on July 3, while sharing adorable photos of the little one in hospital.

“Helena ❤️👧🏻 03/07/202,” Neymar wrote in the caption, referring to his daughter’s birth date. The little one’s arrival comes nearly nine months after he announced he had welcomed his daughter Mavie with ex Bruna Biancardi.

In the first photo shared, Neymar had his arm around his son Davi Lucca, 12, as the pair looked through a glass screen at his baby girl lying in a cot in the hospital.

Neymar welcomed his first daughter, Mavie, with Biancardi, 28, in October 2023, sharing news of her arrival in a post on October 7 of that year.

Biancardi then announced on Instagram a month later that the pair, who began dating in early 2022, had split.

“This is a private matter, but as I deal with news, assumptions and jokes every day, I inform you that I am not in a relationship,” Biancardi wrote in her message, translated from Portuguese, at the time.

“We are Mavie's parents, and that is the reason for our bond,” she concluded.
