The World Cup spotlight is not only on Raphinha’s football, but also on the woman who has been part of his life for years, Natalia Rodrigues Belloli.
The Brazil and Barcelona star enters another major tournament with huge pressure and expectations.

Behind his success lies a long personal story with Natalia, his wife and longtime partner.
THEIR LOVE STORY AND FAMILY LIFE
The couple first met when they were teenagers in Brazil and remained friends for years before their relationship slowly turned romantic.
Things got more serious in 2021 after a trip to Cancun, which fans often call the turning point in their love story.
Later that year, Raphinha proposed in a romantic setup and they became engaged.
WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED!
The couple married in 2022 and welcomed their son Gael in 2023.
Natalia is now a model and social media influencer as she shares her lifestyle, fashion and family moments online and has built her own following.
The social media personality often talks about how different they are, saying that Raphinha is calm while she is more emotional, which helps balance their relationship.
As Brazil head into the World Cup, Natalia and their son are expected to remain close to him and continue to support him through one of the biggest moments of his career.
