Who are Neymar parents?
Neymar Santos, Sr. (father)
Behind each champion stands someone, who supports him and pushes on the way to success. Obviously, in the case of Neyman, such a person is his father. The former footballer himself, Neymar Sr. became his son’s first coach. He is the first person, who noticed his son’s talent for football and helped him develop it. Since the very beginning Mr. Santos Sr. manages his son’s career. He remains his agent till now. “My father takes care of everything”, confessed Neymar in one of his interviews. The footballer’s father is a family man. He spends a lot of time with his wife, kids, and grandson Davi Lucca. According to Instagram photos, they are having a great time.
Nadine Gonçalves (mother)
Nadine Santos, who is also known under the name Nadine Gonçalves, is Neymar’s mother, his best friend and the president of the social organization “The Neymar Jr. Project Institute”, supported by her son.
Nadine is a faithful person. Many of her public quotes contain citations from Bibles. She supported her son at the sad moment when he was accused of raping a girl. The Brazilian model applied to the court, where she told, that Neymar had raped her in one of the hotel rooms. The football player denied all the accusations and considered them as an attempt to blackmail him. The case was never referred to the court, and the athlete’s mother asked her son through Instagram “to forgive that girl for the sake of God”.
Neymar siblings
Rafaella Beckran (younger sister)
Date of birth: March 11, 1996
Neymar is one of the most recognizable faces in the world (and one of the most successful earners in the industry). His millions allowed the other members of his clan to start several projects, including the charity foundation “The Neymar Jr. Project Institute”, which supports kids with disabilities. The organization is ruled by the athlete’s mother, but his younger sister Rafaella works on it, too. Besides, she is making a successful career as a model. Several years ago she appeared in the advertising campaign of the fashion shop “Elleven Wear”, opened by her parents and named for the sake of number 11, under which her brother used to play in Barcelona FC.
Rafaella was born in 1996 in Sao Paulo. Her birth name was Rafaella Da Silva Santos, but she changed it officially for “Beckran”. Not accidentally her new surname sounds very similar to “Beckham” – she chose it to honor her favorite football player.
Neymar is closely knitted with his sister. She is a frequent participant of his Instagram posts.
