Is Tiago Ramos Neymar’s stepdad?
It seems Nadine and Tiago haven’t been dating that long and only revealed their relationship to the public on Easter Sunday, 2020.
Tiago is not yet Neymar’s stepdad and the pair were apparently friends before his relationship with Neymar’s mum.
Long before meeting Nadine, Ramos was a super-fan of Neymar and revealed that he sent the former Barcelona star a message in 2017, reading: “Neymar you are fantastic, I don’t know how to explain the emotion of being a fan of a guy like you, I see you playing and I’m very motivated, one day I hope to read this message with you, be your brother, and play together.”
