Hulk having second child with ex’s niece and says he kept the pregnancy a secret

Hulk has announced he is having a second child with his ex-wife’s niece.

The former Brazil striker, now playing for Atletico Mineiro in his homeland, caused outrage in 2019 when he married Camila Angelo after splitting with his wife of 12 years, Iran Angelo – Camila’s aunt. A year later, Hulk, whose full name is Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, confirmed the controversial couple were expecting their first child, a daughter called Zaya, together.

The ex-Porto and Zenit forward, 37, who has three children with Angelo, has now announced that Zaya will be getting a little brother. He has also divulged why the couple had been keeping the news secret before sharing it with the world.

Speaking on his Instagram page, which has four million followers, 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 and 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. I knew it was going to leak.”

Hulk began seeing Angelo, 33, in October of 2019, with Iran not taking kindly to news of the relationship, having previously had a sister-like relationship with her niece. Iran tore into the couple in a lengthy Instagram post.

“Lies and disloyalties are like knives,” she wrote. “They cut our flesh, make us bleed, dry up, die a little inside. But for those that have God in their lives, this dying means rebirth.

“I am reborn with each disappointment and each lie that is unmasked because Jesus made me strong.” Hulk and Iran had three children throughout their marriage together.

A spokesman for the forward said in a statement at the time: “Hulk called the parents and the brother of Camila and told them the truth. It was Hulk himself who made the information public because he had nothing to hide. His position is transparency and he wants to avoid lies and malicious comments.”
