Shanghai SIPG star Hulk raised a few eyebrows last year when it emerged he had left his wife for her niece.

Hulk split from his wife Iran last summer after a 12-year relationship and began dating her niece a few months later.

Hulk and Camila are now reportedly married.

Another Brazilian family to hit the headlines for a relationship update is Neymar's.

That's because Neymar's mother, Nadine Gonçalves, is dating someone that is six years younger than the PSG star.

Neymar's mother, who split from Neymar senior in 2016, took to Instagram to reveal that she is dating Tiago Ramos.

According to Brazilian UOL esporte, he is a 22-year-old gamer who plays the game Free Fire.

He is a member 4K Easy, a team which competes in the NFA League, an amateur tournament that serves as the gateway to the professional competitions of the game. He is also a model.

She posted a picture of the two accompanied by the caption: "The inexplicable cannot be explained, if you live... ❤️"

The post prompted a response from Neymar, who commented: "Be happy mom ❤️ love you".

Ramos posted the same image on his Instagram page with the one word caption: "Inexplicable ❤️"

UOL esporte reportedly contacted Neymar's publicist and the relationship was confirmed.

Ramos is a big fan of the Brazil star.

He posted an image of a direct message he sent him back in 2017.

It read: "Neymar you are fantastic, I don't know how to explain the emotion of being a fan of a guy like you, I see you playing and I'm very motivated, one day I hope to read this message with you, be your brother, and play together.

"I know that one day I will meet you, because I am a dreamy boy where I do not give up on my goals! Stay with God, very successful and happy."

Ramos' words came true when he posted an image of him and Neymar together in January.

The two obviously became good friends as Ramos attended Neymar's 28th birthday celebrations in February.
