Real Madrid player gets married... at 18!

The love story between Real Madrid’s Endrick and Gabriely Miranda hit its highest point yet this Monday. The Brazilian soccer star and the model got married, as confirmed by a joint post they shared on Instagram. “Matthew 19:6: ‘So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. Finally, we are married,’” they wrote, accompanied by several images of the wedding ceremony.

The news sparked a wave of reactions from friends, family, and colleagues of the couple, although no Real Madrid player has commented publicly at the time of writing. The young Brazilian forward, who joined the Spanish giants this summer, had hinted that marriage was part of his immediate plans with Gabriely. “As I told my mom and dad, I want to be a young father, to see my child grow and have a strong bond, but she [Gabriely] has to say yes or no, right?” the footballer revealed during an appearance on TV show Conversa com Bial.

A bet that led to love between Endrick and Miranda

The relationship between Endrick and Gabriely Miranda reportedly began with a bet, as the model herself revealed in an interview. “When I first saw Endrick, I didn’t know he was a footballer. He was sitting alone in a shopping mall, and I looked at him and thought, ‘What an amazing man.’ He has this intense and confident look, and I just knew he was the man of my life and future. It wasn’t until later that I found out he played for Palmeiras.”

The two were having dinner together while watching a soccer game, and things already seemed to be going well. However, Miranda took a bold step, telling Endrick that if Cuiabá beat Botafogo, they would start dating. “Cuiabá won! Thanks to Cuiabá, we’re together,” she added.

Miranda, who always goes to the games with Endrick wherever he plays, gained attention when her now-husband ran to the stands to dedicate his first goal at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid to her during the recent friendly match between Spain and Brazil (which ended 3-3).

Miranda herself is a football fan, being a keen follower of Palmeiras. The couple also shares a deep religious faith, which they often set out on their social media. Miranda, who boasts over a million Instagram followers, describes herself as “passionate about Jesus” in her bio.

The contract between Endrick and Gabriely

Their relationship has also been shaped by a unique contract the couple drafted to help strengthen their bond. The deal includes a ban on using certain words in their conversations, such as “um,” “well,” “okay,” and even “beautiful.” They are all strictly forbidden in their relationship. On the flip side, they are required to say “I would love you no matter what”.

Other rules include: “It is strictly forbidden to pick up any bad habits. Sudden personality or behavior changes are not allowed, and it’s required to break with the routine and find something to do together during the week, just the two of them.” And if either of them breaks the contract, they are hit with a punishment. “Whoever breaks a rule has to give the other person whatever they want at the end of the month.”

Endrick has already slipped up once and had to make amends. “I had to buy her an iPhone,” he confessed.
