Neymar at the center of a love scandal! Brazilian responds to rumors of affair with Vinicius's ex-girlfriend
Neymar has found himself at the center of a major scandal amid rumors that he cheated on his pregnant wife, Bruna Biancardi. According to Brazilian outlet Metrópoles, the footballer allegedly kissed blogger Virginia Fonseca, who was previously in a relationship with Vinicius Junior, and spent time with her in an intimate setting at a private party on November 6, the eve of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in São Paulo.
According to journalist Fábia Oliveira, the event was held in a private room at a poker club, where phone use was restricted. Sources cited by the outlet claim the pair made no effort to hide their closeness from the guests. Fonseca allegedly danced on Neymar's lap while he sat on a sofa.
The Brazilian, however, was quick to deny the claims. In an Instagram story, he said the rumors were untrue and voiced his displeasure with reports about his personal life.
“News is coming out claiming that I'm involved with another person, and I deny it! It's sad to live in a time when people care more about a big name than the truth,” the footballer wrote. He ended by asking to be left alone so he could play poker in peace.
As a reminder, Neymar is in a relationship with Bruna Biancardi, who is expecting their third child.
