Neymar Jr. has two children: a son， Davi Lucca， and a daughter， Mavie. That's the short answer. But the fuller story involves different mothers。different phases of his life， and a level of public scrutiny that few footballers face.Davi Lucca was born on August 24， 2011， when Neymar was just 19 and already a rising star at Santos. His mother is Carolina Dantas， a childhood friend from São Paulo. The pregnancy was unplanned， and the two were never in a long-term relationship. Neymar has spoken about becoming a father young—how it forced him to grow up fast. “He changed everything” Neymar said in a 2019 interview. “I learned to think about someone else before myself” Davi lives primarily with his mother in Brazil， but Neymar is deeply involved: he attends school events when his schedule allows， posts birthday tributes， and has taken Davi to Paris， Barcelona。
and now Saudi Arabia. The bond is visible. In 2022， Davi was seen celebrating on the pitch after PSG won the league—Neymar holding him close， both grinning. It's a relationship that feels genuine， not staged for cameras.The second child， Mavie， arrived on October 6， 2023. Her mother is Bruna Biancardi， a Brazilian influencer and model who was in an on-and-off relationship with Neymar for over two years. Mavie's birth was announced via a joint Instagram post—a black-and-white photo of her tiny hand gripping Neymar's finger. The caption read simply: “Mavie， our daughter。welcome to the world” Unlike with Davi， Neymar was present for Mavie's birth in São Paulo and has been more openly involved from day one. He posts frequent photos of her， and Bruna has shared glimpses of their co-parenting routine—though the couple split shortly after Mavie was born. The details of custody haven't been made public， but both parents appear committed to raising her together in Brazil， where Neymar spends his off-season.Are there other children?No. Despite persistent rumors—often fueled by gossip blogs—no other paternity claims have been confirmed. Neymar has taken DNA tests in the past when faced with accusations， and all came back negative. He's spoken about the importance of being a present father。even if his career keeps him away for weeks at a time. “I don't want them to feel abandoned” he told a Brazilian podcast in 2023. “I know what it's like to grow up with a father who's around but not really there” That comment hints at his own childhood—his father， Neymar Sr.， was his agent and constant companion， but the line between parent and manager often blurred. Neymar seems determined to avoid that same confusion with his own kids.So how many children does Neymar have?
Two. A 12-year-old son and a baby daughter. The number might grow in the future—he's only 32 and has spoken about wanting a big family—but for now， the answer is straightforward. What's less straightforward is the day-to-day reality: co-parenting across continents， managing public expectations。and trying to give two children a normal life when your face is on billboards. From what's visible， he's navigating it with more care than his party-boy reputation might suggest. Davi and Mavie are the anchors in a life that's otherwise chaotic， and Neymar knows it.
