The focus of the World Cup is not only on Raphinha’s football but also on the woman who has been part of his life for years, Natalia Rodrigues Belloli.
The Brazilian and Barcelona star enters another big tournament with enormous pressure and expectations.
He is known for his speed, energy and attacking style on the pitch and has played for some major European clubs after starting his journey in Brazil.
Behind his success lies a long personal history with Natalia, his wife and long-time partner.
THEIR LOVE STORY AND FAMILY LIFE
The couple first met as teenagers in Brazil and remained friends for years before their relationship slowly turned romantic.
Things got more serious in 2021 after a trip to Cancun, which fans often call the turning point in their love story.
Later that same year, Raphinha proposed in a romantic setup and they became engaged.
WHEN THEY GET MARRIED!
The couple married in 2022 and welcomed their son Gael in 2023.
Natalia is now a model and social media influencer, as she shares her lifestyle, fashion and family moments online and has built her own following.
The social media personality often talks about their difference, saying Raphinha is quiet while she is more emotional, which helps balance their relationship.
As Brazil prepares for the World Cup, Natalia and their son are expected to stay close to him and continue to support him during one of the most important moments of his career.
