Brazil’s dominance at the World Cup extends beyond the field of play because their WAGs are equally outstanding.
With back-to-back victories over Serbia and Switzerland in Qatar, the five-time champions have already easily advanced to the knockout stages and have yet to give up a goal going into today’s match against Cameroon.
They are expected to go the distance as favourites to win their sixth crown, and their wives and girlfriends will be there to support them along the way, threatening to steal the show.
Natalia Belloli
Natalia Belloli, Raphinha’s wife, is by his side constantly, whether they are at the Camp Nou to see him play for Barcelona or when they are travelling abroad for one of their opulent vacations.
Last December, the former Leeds United winger dropped down on one knee in front of a big “Marry Me” sign. Belloli, 23, and he were later married.
Carol Cabrino
Centre-back Carol Cabrino, a singer and vlogger from Brazil who originally gained notoriety on The X Factor in her native country, is the wife of Marquinhos. Their romance apparently began when he messaged the 27-year-old on Facebook. Designer Cabrino has since established her own baby clothing business and opened a store in Sao Paulo.
Natalia Becker
Alisson Becker, a goalkeeper for Liverpool, defied the custom of athletes marrying models when he wed Natalia, a certified doctor, in 2015.
He once remarked, “I believe that made me a bit different from other football players.” And if you’re sick, it’s preferable to live with a doctor than than a model.
Since they first met in 2012, the couple has welcomed three children: Helena, Matteo, and Rafael.
Vitoria Schneider Vargas
Tite hasn’t given Alex Telles a World Cup start yet, but with Vitoria Schneider Vargas by his side, the Manchester United left-back has plenty of reasons to smile.
In September, the couple announced their engagement, and now they are expecting their first child. Vargas has however continued to fly to Qatar despite this.
Maria Julia Mazalli
Maria Julia Mazalli, the most well-known WAG in the Brazil camp with 1 million Instagram followers, is not yet an official member of the team.
The Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Jr., who has been seen with her in the past but hasn’t formally confirmed their connection, has been romantically linked to her in reports.
Maria Eduarda Fournier
Lucas Paqueta, a midfielder for West Ham, was followed by his wife Maria Eduarda Fournier, also known as Duda, from Lyon to East London in the summer.

Monique Salum
In addition to a doctor, Monique Salum, whose other half is Red Devils midfielder Fred, is one of Brazil’s WAGs. She is a chemical engineer.
She was smart and beautiful, having attended the University Center of Belo Horizonte and working at the Centre for the Development of Nuclear Technology.
Joana Sanz
Dani Alves, a legend of Barcelona who is still playing for Brazil at the age of 39, is wed to supermodel Joana Sanz.
Spanish Sanz, who is 10 years younger than him, rose to stardom at the age of 17 after participating in a Supermodel of the World competition.
Isabelle Silva
Isabelle Silva is well-known to Chelsea supporters since she frequently criticises her husband Thiago when circumstances don’t favour him.
Their boys Isago and Iago have remained in west London, but the faithful WAG has, of course, travelled to Qatar to support him.
Ana Lidia Martins
Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle United, one of the team’s more recent additions, is happily married to Ana Lidia Martins, who gave birth to their first child in October.
When the midfielder was playing for Lyon in France in 2020, where Martins had also relocated to pursue a profession as a nutritionist, they started dating.
Anna Mariana Casemiro
After joining United from Real Madrid in the summer, Casemiro has been adjusting to life in Manchester, but wife Anna has given him some home comforts.
Having first met her partner in 2011, the 33-year-old makeup artist balances her job with raising her daughter Sara, 6, and son Caio, 1.
Rebeca Tavares
Fabinho of Liverpool has been kept out of the starting lineup by Casemiro, but Tite is anticipated to make changes against Cameroon, so he may get the start.
His wife Rebeca, a former footballer herself, would be happy to hear that. Before Fabinho moved to Anfield, she was a member of Monaco’s team.
