Pelé cheated on her to have a “colorful friendship”
However, the Brazilian star took advantage of Xuxa’s inexperience to convince her to have a non-consensual “open relationship” since the former soccer player continued to date other women.

“I had to accept the betrayal without wanting to. It was not an open relationship. I didn’t have the right to do anything, but he might, because he was Pelé. And since he was my first man, I mightn’t compare him so I might see that it wasn’t healthy,” he revealed.
