Influencer Bruna Biancardi, who commands a following of over 15 million on Instagram, has spoken candidly about public perceptions of her relationship with superstar Neymar. In an appearance on the Elas Que Jogam podcast, she clarified that she does not rely on the footballer’s income, maintaining her own thriving professional life.
"People think we don’t work, that we stay at home, that we’re trophy wives. I say, 'Wait a minute, because I have my jobs, I pay my team, I have salaries to pay. I earn my money, I pay my bills'," Biancardi stated. She highlighted her role as a business owner responsible for a team of professionals who depend on her.
Beyond her social media presence, Biancardi has diversified her portfolio, including the launch of the "Bru Na Cozinha" project on YouTube, where she hosts interviews and cooking segments. These ventures form part of a broader strategy involving high-profile advertising campaigns for global brands.
The couple, who are parents to Mavie and Mel, balance their personal lives with the intense demands of international football. Neymar, who missed Brazil's opening World Cup group matches against Morocco and Haiti due to a calf injury, is now returning to the squad for the upcoming game against Scotland. Biancardi revealed that she discovered she was pregnant just one day before the official World Cup squad announcement.
She also reflected on the turning point in their relationship, noting that she once reached her limit regarding the uncertainty of their dynamic. A surprise birthday celebration organized by Neymar in Paris, where he invited her family, served as a formal commitment that helped solidify their partnership.
