David Lucca da Silva Biography

Neymar's fans were shocked when he announced that he was going to be a father. However, he initially did not reveal the name of the mother of his child.

Nevertheless, it was later revealed that the child’s mother was Carolina Nogueira Dantas.

Neymar’s relationship with Carolina had always been complicated. According to sources, they were never a couple. They met through a common friend.

Initially, she did not wish to tell Neymar about her pregnancy. However, she later changed her mind, as she realized that Neymar had every right to know the truth. Neymar handled the situation very well. Although Carolina had contemplated abortion, Neymar’s family was against it. Neymar is a true Catholic, and abortion is a sin according to his faith.
