World Cup legend Ron nets two wives the same day

- ONLINE COMPILATIO­N

World Cup legend Ronaldinho is to ‘marry two women’ at the same time after living as threesome for months.

The former Barcelona player, 38, will tie the knot with his pair of “fiancees” -- Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza – on the same day. They have been living “harmonious­ly” with the Brazilian star since December at his £5million Rio de Janeiro mansion.

Ronaldinho, who is claimed to be “adept at polygamy”, started dating Beatriz in 2016 but continued his relationsh­ip with Priscilla, which began several years earlier.

Bigamy is illegal in Brazil, and is punishable by up to six years in prison; however it is likely that a potential “wedding” would simply be a ceremony with the two women and not registered as two official marriages.

Both women are said to receive an “allowance” of around £1500 from the footballer to spend as they wish. And it is claimed he always gives the two the exact same presents, including recently buying them matching perfume during a trip abroad together.

A former World Player of the Year, Ronaldinho is said to have proposed to both women in January last year and gave them both engagement rings, according to Brazilian columnist Leo Dias.

He will "marry" the two women in an unofficial private ceremony in an upmarket district in Rio, where he has lived since 2015. The star’s sister, Deisi, who is against her brother’s polygamy, has already said she won’t be attending.
