Only in the wacky world of celebrities would a footballer publicly apologise to their significant other on a social media account with 210 MILLION followers and amplify their personal business to the world, but I guess it proves the rumours that Neymar was cheating on pregnant girlfriend Bruna Marquezine were true all along.
The original IG post is here, but I’ve translated it into English below:
Bru
I do this for the two of you and your family.
Justify the unjustifiable. Didn’t need to. But I need you in OUR life.
I saw how much you were exposed, how much you suffered from all of this and how much you want to be by my side. And I by your side.
I made a mistake.
I was wrong with you.
I dare say that I make mistakes every day, on and off the field. But my mistakes in my personal life I resolve at home, in my privacy with my family and friends…
All of this reached one of the most special people in my life. The woman I dreamed of following by my side, the mother of my child. It hit your family, who today is my family. It reached its intimacy in such a special moment that is motherhood.
Bru, I already apologized for my mistakes, for the unnecessary exposition, but I feel obliged to publicly reaffirm that. If a private matter has become public, the apology must be made public.
I can’t imagine myself without you.
I don’t know if we’re going to work, but TODAY you’re the certainty that I want to try.
Our purpose will prevail, our love for our baby will win, our love for each other will strengthen us.
ALWAYS US
I love you ❤️
You have to love the narcissism of “I make mistakes on and off the pitch”, like missing a shot on goal is anything like cheating on your pregnant girlfriend. Either way, the post is already at 10 million likes and counting, but it seems none of them are from Bruna as of yet. She is still following him though so that’s a good sign as far as Neymar is concerned. Maybe all is forgiven?
The only thing weirder than Neymar doing this so publicly? His dad commenting on the post to congratulate him on an awesome apology:
Too funny. Now all Neymar Jr has to do is ensure he doesn’t cheat on his wife (pregnant or otherwise) ever again, or at least not get caught doing it. You’d think any man with half a brain would want to keep this one happy:
P.S. t least he didn’t cheat with his brother’s wife… like other footballers we could mention.
