However, Pelé’s great controversy regarding his paternity came as a consequence of Sandra Regina Machado. From 1991 to 1993 they were in litigation until the justice determined a DNA test to end the controversy.
Finally, the DNA tests determined that they were father and daughter, so the court ruled in favor of the young woman. Despite overwhelming evidence, the Brazilian idol he denied being his father.
How much is the millionaire fortune that Pelé leaves
Sandra Regina Machado was born on August 24, 1964 and her mother was Anizia Machado, a domestic worker with whom the athlete would have had an affair. In 2006, as a result of fulminating cancer, she passed away. The ex-soccer player did not go to the funeral, but his company sent flowers.
according to the newspaper The Mirror, Pelé asked to meet with the two grandchildren (Octavio and Gabriel) from Regina and spoke to them the day before he died. Gabriel, one of the grandchildren, said that it was a moment that his mother was waiting for. “’We were very excited, it was an opportunity we had been waiting for. Every family has fights and quarrels, ours is no different, but there are times when togetherness and love are more important than anything else. We were extremely happy,” added Gabriel.
The seventh is Flavia, another extramarital daughter that Pelé had with the journalist Lenita Kurtz, although he did recognize her as his from the beginning.
Pelé and his most popular love affair with Xuxa
Pelé met Xuxa in 1980 when she was a model and she was barely 17 years old. “It was during a rehearsal for the cover of a magazine [Rede Manchete]. There were four models, Luiza, Marcia Brito, me and a black woman was supposed to, but he didn’t want to. At that time they named Miss Brazil, who came from Brasilia. In the photo, I came out in front of him, ”the singer recounted in her autobiographical book.
In her book, Xuxa revealed that following the rehearsal, the world champion asked her out. She would have told him that she was a minor, something that was not an impediment for the striker, who did not hesitate to call the teenager’s parents, who ended up accepting her invitation.
