NEYMAR has announced the birth of his baby girl with his model girlfriend Bruna Biancardi in an emotional Instagram post.
The world’s most-expensive footballer was given permission from new club Al-Hilal to fly 7,073 miles back to Brazil to witness the arrival of his second child this week.
And their new arrival entered the world earlier this morning – and it did not take long for the Samba superstar to confirm the news to his 215 million Instagram followers.
Neymar wrote: “Our Mavie arrived to complete our lives. Welcome, daughter! You are already very loved by us.. thank you for choosing us.”
That was accompanied by a host of intimate images, which included the couple kissing their daughter and Neymar bathing her.
Bruna, 29, revealed that the bundle of joy’s name means “my life” as a wave of congratulatory messages jumped into the comments.

Neymar’s Saudi side Al-Hilal were one of the first to offer their well-wishes while Brazilian Olympic 100m hurdler Maurren Maggi commented “God Bless”.
Mavie is the couple’s first child together, while Neymar already has a 12-year-old son, Davi Lucca, from his previous relationship with Carolina Dantas.
Former Barcelona star Neymar has been dating Bruna since 2021, with the couple subsequently going public in January last year.
She announced that they were expecting their first child back in April before shock reports emerged that Neymar had been accused of cheating on his model partner.

The Al-Hilal star was filmed partying with two mystery girls in a Spanish nightclub, after which Bruna took to Instagram to address the incident and reveal her “disappointment”.
She wrote: “Good afternoon, I’m aware of what happened & once again I am disappointed but in the final stage of my pregnancy, my focus & worries are directed to my daughter & that is all I will think about in the moment.
“I thank you all for the messages of love.'”
Brazil’s record goalscorer apologised to Bruna back in June after previous allegations of cheating in an emotional social media statement.
He wrote: “Bru. I do this for both of you and your family. Justify the unjustifiable. No need to. But I need you in OUR lives
“I saw how much you were exposed, how much you suffered with all of this and how much you want to be by my side. And I stand beside you.
“I did wrong with you all. I risk saying I'm wrong every day, on and off the pitch. Only I solve my mistakes in personal life at home, in my intimacy with my family and friends…
“All of this hit one of the most special people in my life. The woman I dreamed of following beside me, mother of my child.
“Has it touched his family, which is my family today. She touched her intimacy in such a special moment that is maternity.”
Neymar left Paris Saint-Germain, who paid a record £198m to Barcelona for him in 2017, for the Middle East this summer.
