Neymar’s sweet message for his son who turned five

Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar Jr. has celebrated the fifth birthday of his son Davvi Luca with a shark-themed party in Brazil. Neymar, who scored the winning goal for Brazil that earned them their first ever gold medal at Olympics, shared a picture of that occasion on Instagram, to convey his love-filled wishes to his only son.

The message, written in Portuguese, translates to “Congratulations Son …May God bless you and light your way always . Daddy loves you.”

The 24-year-old became a father when he was only 19. The identity of Davvi’s mother wasn’t revealed until a year later owing to privacy concerns. Carolina Dantas, Neymar’s ex-girlfriend, was only 17 when she gave birth to Davvi. Both of them have parted amicably, and young Davvi shuttles between Spain and Brazil, spending time with both his parents.

Davvi too has an Instagram page, where he has shared a photo from his birthday party where he can be seen posing along with his parents.

The Barcelona forward’s name has been linked with several women, including Hollywood star Chloe Moretz, who is currently dating David Beckham’s son Brooklyn.

Meanwhile Neymar has been recently spotted with his ex-girlfriend Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine, whom he used to date from 2012 to 2014, sparking rumours of a possible reunion.

Neymar’s pivotal role in bringing laurels to his home country at the Rio Olympics makes him the second most successful footballer from Brazil after Pele.

This June, Neymar has signed a revised contract with FC Barcelona, which will make him stay at Camp Nou until 2021. He played a significant role for the club last season, compensating for the absence of an injured Lionel Messi. The Messi-Neymar-Suarez trio is dubbed one of the best and most formidable attacking trio in the history of not just FCB, but also the game.
