Why did Neymar’s parents split?
The PSG star’s father and mother, Neymar da Silva Santos and Nadine da Silva, split up in 2016 after a long and tumultuous relationship. It is believed that the couple had been facing difficulties since 2013 when Neymar’s father was accused of fraud and tax evasion. Neymar’s father had been accused of infidelity and financial issues, which had put a strain on the couple’s marriage.

The split between Neymar’s parents was a difficult one, and rumors circulated that Neymar’s father had been unfaithful during the marriage. However, Neymar’s mother Nadine Santos was adamant that the split was due to “irreconcilable differences”. In a statement, she said, “It was a mutual decision, we both were no longer in love.”
Since the split, Neymar’s parents have maintained a cordial relationship for the sake of their son. Neymar remains close to both of his parents and has credited his father for teaching him the importance of discipline and hard work. The couple has two kids, a boy and a girl. Neymar Jr. was the firstborn, arriving in 1992. He has since become a renowned athlete around the world. Rafaella, their daughter, was born in 1996.
