Hulk has announced his second child with Camila Angelo, the niece of his ex-wife, and revealed why his pregnancy was kept a secret from his children.
The couple made headlines in 2020 when they married, a year after Hulk’s 12-year relationship with Iran Angelo ended.
In 2021, they welcomed their first child, Zaya.
Now, the 37-year-old forward took to social media to confirm the arrival of their second child through a video on his Instagram story.
While making the announcement, he said: “Dropping by to thank you for the countless messages I have been receiving about my wife’s pregnancy.
“Another son, another blessing that God gave me.
“My children didn’t know until now.
“However, I had agreed with my wife to tell them when I picked them up to spend the holidays with me, only on the 16th.
“I told them the news, they were very happy.
“I knew they would tell other people and those people would pass it on to someone.
“Also, I knew it was going to leak”.
The footballer’s relationship with Camila Angelo became public in December 2019, five months after his divorce from Iran Angelo.
