BRAZILIAN soccer star Hulk’s ex-wife is dating a toyboy nearly 30 years younger than her after bouncing back from the footballer leaving her for her niece.
The 37-year-old Atletico Mineiro striker made headlines around the world by marrying Camila Angelo in September 2020 after splitting from her aunt Iran, the mother of his first three children.
Camila, 33, gave birth to the new couple’s first child together, a girl called Zaya, at a hospital in Miami in April last year.
They continue to display their love for each other in social media posts, with model and influencer Camila recently reposting an old photo of her in a bikini kissing her husband and telling her Instagram fans: “So good to die from love! And keep on living.”
Now it has emerged 54-year-old Iran, who accused her niece of “cutting her flesh like a knife” shortly after she announced she was pregnant with Hulk’s fourth child, has found love again with a 25-year-old engineer.
Lucas Suassuna was pictured earlier this year on a jetski with Iran’s name on it.

They were subsequently spotted together at a wedding in Lucas’ native city of Joao Pessoa in north eastern Brazil.
Local press said they had been “cosying up” to each other.
Earlier this month Iran took advantage of a Bank Holiday weekend to travel from Sao Paulo, where she lives with her three children, to visit the man being described in Brazil as “her first serious partner” since the end of her 12-year marriage to the footballer in 2019.
She and Lucas posted photos of a boat trip they enjoyed to a picture-postcard spot off Joao Pessoa known as Red Sand Island.

They were careful to avoid publishing snaps of them together and Lucas has now privatised his social media after opening it up briefly.
But local media have been left in no doubt about Iran’s new relationship.
The couple are also understood to have spent time together on holiday in Europe.
In the summer they were pictured laughing as they sat next to each other at a luxury restaurant in Sao Paulo where they got together with friends.
Iran is said to have introduced Lucas to her three children by Hulk.
Although they are still living in different cities they appear to be trying to meet up as often as family and work commitments allow.
They have also exercised together with the same Muay Thai teacher Ronaldo Sanches, practicing in a communal area of the apartment block where Lucas lives.
Hulk’s ex has claimed in the past she treated Camila like her own daughter and said after opening up on her heartbreak when she was ditched by the footballer that she felt like she was “burying her alive.”
She raged: “I gave everything to this girl since she came into the world.
“I sacrificed my dreams so many times to make her dreams come true.
“And here I’m not just talking about material goods, because these are easy to give when you have money, but love, affection, attention, respect… everything.
“She knew my weaknesses, insecurities, pain, fears and had my unconditional love.
“She managed my life, and for me everything that she said was good, it was correct, it was ethical.
“She was perfect in everything and I gave her the direction of my life. If I was wrong, my God, it was because I loved and trusted too much.”
Iran accused Hulk and and her niece of “cutting her flesh like a knife” in October 2021 after they announced the pregnancy.
She said on Instagram in a thinly-veiled message to the soccer star and Camila: “Lies and disloyalties are like knives.
“They cut our flesh, make us bleed, dry up, die a little inside.
“But for those that have God in their lives, this dying means rebirth.
“I am reborn with each disappointment and each lie that is unmasked because Jesus made me strong.”
Iran posted her message to her Instagram fans alongside a photo of a clock with the caption: “Only time has the skill to unmask appearances, reveal lies and show someone’s true character.”
Hulk, real name Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, married the new woman in his life in September 2020 while the he was still playing for Chinese side Shanghai SIPG following his split from the mother of his two sons and daughter.
