Despite seeing his 2022/23 season cut short by injury, Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar continues to be a constant news story in European football, with the 31-year-old confirming an exciting personal update in recent days.
Neymar's personal life has been in the spotlight ever since his explosion onto the scene at Santos in 2009, aged 17, with media fascination into his life in Brazil and Europe.
The announcement of the striker expecting a baby with his partner Bruna Biancardi in the coming months has created a new wave of interest in Neymar's private life in 2023.
The São Paulo native is set to stay with PSG this summer, as he continues his injury recovery, with the former Barcelona schemer in line to break Pele's Brazil goal scoring record this year, with the pair currently tied on 77.

How many kids does Neymar have?

His first child was conceived with his former partner Carolina Dantas prior to joining Barcelona in 2013.

The pair began dating in 2021, before making their relationship official at the start of 2022, before Biancardi confirmed they had broken up in August.
The Brazilian model and influencer denied reports of infidelity from Neymar, following widespread reports of the footballer being unfaithful to her, and they reconciled in early 2023.

Neymar has never married, despite being previously engaged to Biancardi, and the couple have not indicated any plans to tie the knot in the near future.
Neymar's own family consists of a tight knit group including his former footballer father Neymar Santos Sr. and his mother Nadine Gonçalves.
The forward only has one sibling, his sister, Rafaella Beckran, with the pair sharing a very close relationship despite Neymar's moves from Brazil to Spain and on to France.
