Who is singer Anitta’s boyfriend? Vinicius Souza once played for Brazil’s top football team, is tight with Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr, and has played in the English Premier League
The pair hard-launched their relationship with an Instagram carousel and appearance at Paris Fashion Week; Souza is a sought-after professional footballer currently playing in the EFL Championship
It looks like the “Downtown” singer and her new beau – who have a six-year age gap – have gone straight to hard-launching their relationship. On September 27, Souza took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos, some of which featured Anitta snuggled up next to the Sheffield United midfielder.
Before Souza, Anitta was married to Thiago Magalhães from 2017 to 2018. She’s also been linked with Colombian singer Maluma and most recently Mexican superstar musician Peso Pluma.
So who is Anitta’s new, younger, flame? Here’s everything you need to know about Vinicius Souza.
Vinicius Souza began his football career at Brazil’s most popular club
Souza was born in Rio de Janeiro on June 17, 1999. The defensive midfielder first made a name for himself in Flamengo’s under-20s team. The club is Brazil’s most widely supported, with a following of more than 45 million fans.
He left Brazil for Belgium
At the end of the 2019-2020 season, after a year in Flamengo’s first-team squad, Souza was offered the chance to move to Belgium and play for Lommel SK. Souza revealed in an interview with Sky Sports last year that going from Brazil’s top team to the second-tier Belgian club felt like a step backwards at first.
