Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, 81, will have to take a paternity test after Maria do Socorro Azevedo goes to court and has her request granted by the Public Defender’s Office of the State of São Paulo. The decision was rendered on the 18th, according to the document granted to the F5.
For this, the former athlete will not need to leave the house and now it is up to the IMESC (Institute of Social Medicine and Criminology of São Paulo) to determine the date and time for carrying out the genetic collection. Wanted through his social networks, Pelé, who has not yet been officially named in the process, did not comment.
In terms of relationships, Pele has always been one of the most flirtatious. In 1963, at the age of 23, the then Santos Futebol Clube player had a quick relationship with Anísia Machado and with her he had a daughter named Sandra, whom he did not recognize, but who, after a DNA test, in 1996, managed to have the name of dad. Sandra died in 2006 of cancer, and Anísia in 2014.
In 1966, when he was 26 years old, he married Rosemari de Reis Cholbicon for the first time, with whom he had three children. The relationship, however, came to an end in the mid-1980s. Between 1981 and 1986, the former player had a relationship with Xuxa Meneghel. She was just 18 and he was 41.
In the early 1990s, he began dating gospel singer Assiria Lemos Seixas. Pelé married her in 1994 and had twins Celeste and Joshua. The marriage ended in 2008.
In 2002, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as Pelé, assumed the paternity of Flávia Cristina Kurtz, then 34 years old, who was born in Porto Alegre (RS) from a relationship between the former player and a journalism student in 1968, Lenita Kurtz. . The paternity was revealed by Helio Viana, Pelé’s former partner, to Isto É Gente magazine that year. The former footballer met his daughter in 1994, but only decided to make the revelation in the early 2000s.
And it was during a trip to New York, in 2010, that Pelé met Marcia Cible Aoki. The wedding took place only six years later, in 2016. Both were together until today.
