Xuxa says that Pelé slept with other women during their six-year relationship

With the premiere this Thursday (13) on Globoplay, “Xuxa, the Documentary”, Xuxa Meneghel has taken the opportunity to give interviews on various subjects addressed in the series in recent days. And one of the most controversial chats was with Giovanna Ewbank and Fernanda Paes Leme on the podcast ‘Quem Pode, Pod’. The presenter did not do ceremonies when telling the romance, which she had with Pelé.

Xuxa surprised the presenters by detailing her six-year relationship with the former soccer player in the early 1980s. Xuxa, aged 17 at the time, pointed out that, although their relationship was not open, Pelé was involved with other women . According to her, this was because the player had three distinct personalities.

“He spoke in the third person. He had three personalities: Dico [apelido]Edison [nome] and Pele [nome artístico]. He said he had to have other women. That’s why he invented that colorful friendship story”, he said in the interview excerpt, which became the subject for several hours.

Xuxa, who turned 60 in March, also recalled that Pelé explained his betrayals. “He would say: ‘Women throw themselves at Pelé, but don’t worry, because while I was with them I was thinking about you.’ thing, and it wasn’t him, Dico, it was Pelé”, he concluded.
