Ronaldo romp confusion and 18 hookers – inside sex lives of Brazil icons
Throughout football history, Brazil has been revered for producing some of the greatest talents the beautiful game has ever seen, but some of the country's stars are also synonymous with prolific sex lives.
From Pele and Garrincha and Ronaldinho to Neymar, the South American country has produced a plethora of iconic players, who have helped Brazil earn its status as one of – if not the – greatest footballing nation on the planet. With an unrivalled five World Cup wins to their name, Brazil have enjoyed unique success on the pitch, but it appears that's not the only place where some of their stars have managed to score.
With a number of the nation's most high-profile names having found themselves caught up in headlines linked to sex, drugs and wild parties, Daily Star Sport takes a closer look at some of Brazilian footballers biggest bad boys who have often sought the comfort of prostitutes when times have got tough.
Ronaldo
Though prostitution remains legal in Brazil, it's not exactly an area you want to find yourself associated with, especially if you're one of the country's most iconic superstars. However, legendary striker Ronaldo certainly failed to keep a low-profile during one particularly raunchy night.
Back in April 2008, while on the books at AC Milan, the frighteningly-talented forward underwent some rehab back in his hometown of Rio De Janeiro following the latest in a number of career-hampering injuries. It appears Ronaldo was keen to make the most of his leave, however his plans for a secretive sex-fuelled soiree soon spiralled out off control.
The then 31-year-old was embroiled in a fracas with three prostitutes after discovering they were in fact men having brought them back to his Brazilian motel room. The spotlight was firmly placed upon Ronaldo as police became involved after an alleged "altercation" took place in the wake of the two-time World Cup winner discovering the call girls were transvestites.

Ronaldo reportedly dropped off his girlfriend at her home before picking up the three prostitutes from a nightclub in the trendy Barra da Tijuca district and taking them back to a pre-booked room. However, the striker evidently got more than he bargained for after discovering their true sex.
In a desperate attempt to draw a line under the embarrassing episode, Ronaldo is understood to have offered each of the prostitutes a £300 pay-out as they attempted to extort money from him. Rio police reported Ronaldo's allegations at the time, whilst local press quoted one of the three, Andreia Abertine, also known as Andre Luiz Ribeiro Albertino, claiming Ronaldo had threatened to hit him.
According to Rio police superintendent Carlos Augusto Nogueira, Ronaldo "reported that Andreia had taken his car documents and demanded $30,000 [£15,000]". He added: "Ronaldo admits the facts. He said he just wanted to amuse himself, that's not a crime. To pay to have sexual relations isn't illegal. There's a strong chance that Ronaldo has been the victim of extortion."
Adriano
Former Inter Milan icon Adriano may not have been able to succeed Ronaldo on the pitch, as he was tipped to, but it appears he did manage to emulate his fellow forward in the bedroom. In fact, 'The Emperor' once spent £13,000 on 18 prostitutes to cheer himself up following a failed transfer.
Back in 2015, at the age of 33, Le Havre offered Adriano an unlikely lifeline after the Brazilian striker had seen his promising career derailed following the tragic death of his father. However, a deal to join the French outfit fell through at the last-minute, leaving the famed forward with yet more sadness to address.
According to Extra, Adriano consoled himself in the best way he could think of: by spending £13,000 on 18 prostitutes. It is understood the striker flew back to Rio de Janeiro and went straight to a brothel, taking the horde of women to a private party at Motel VIP’s.
Romario
It seems Brazilian strikers have an appetite for scoring both goals and girls as Romario is another who is widely known to possess a penchant for prostitutes. The free-scoring forward – who is divorced three times and has six children – enjoyed a stellar career for club and country, and his life away from the pitch certainly measured up to his playing career for drama alone.
During his time in Barcelona, it is understood Romario lived in a hotel and kept another room at an alternative location. Hristo Stoichkov, his strike partner at Camp Nou, once opened up on the Brazilian's wild lifestyle, telling FourFourTwo: “Romario was only interested in two things: football and f***ing. Romario’s lifestyle, his constant coming and going caused problems with his wife.”
The Brazilian's time in Spain came to an unsavoury end in January 2015 following a rift with legendary Barcelona manager Johan Cruyff, who accused the striker of "lacking discipline". Former Real Madrid manager Jorge Valdano once stated: “Romario’s skill on the pitch was in lying with his body. In the end it was his undoing off it too: he lied to his president to go off with two blondes.”
While it seems his taste for late-night romps has calmed over the past few years, his passion for women evidently remains. Back in 2019, he was known to be dating Ana Karoline Nazario – a student who is 31 years his junior.
