HULK celebrated six years with his ex-wife’s niece with an emotional social media post.
The former Brazil forward, 38, caused shockwaves on the pitch with his ferocious power and goalscoring exploits on the pitch.
And he certainly caused a stir away from football when he split from former wife of 12 years Iran Angelo de Souza, with whom he had three children.
Within months, he started dating her niece Camila Sousa Angelo in April 2019.
And now they have been together for six years – including formally tying the knot in marriage in January 2025.
Hulk took to social media on Tuesday to mark their initial anniversary.

He posted a photo kissing his new wife Camila to his 4.6million Instagram followers.
Hulk captioned it: “Six years by your side and I can only thank God for our story.
“Each day is a new blessing, every moment a new memory.
“May our love continue to grow with strength, respect and happiness.

“I love you, my wife, my life!”
He then added the date “20/04/2020” with ring, heart and praying emojis.
It is understood that is when they initially married due to Camila needing a visa to stay in China where he was playing at the time.
They welcomed daughter Zaya in 2022 and then had Aisha last year.
The couple were all smiles in the sunshine in January when they officially got married in Hulk’s hometown of Campina Grande.
A sea of roses, huge chandeliers and artwork filled the church, named The Diocesan Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception, where the ceremony took place.
But the relationship caused controversy in the family, with his ex-wife Iran’s sister Rayassa taking to Instagram to hit out at the couple and their wedding for his “betrayal”.
Six years by your side and I can only thank God for our story.

She wrote: “Today is a hard day to swallow, a day that reveals how far betrayal can go when it comes from the people we least expect.
“It is sad to realise that Judas is not only in ancient stories, sometimes he sleeps under the same roof, eats at the same table and, at the right moment, stabs himself in the back.
“Wanting what belongs to someone else, wanting to live the life of someone who trusted you, is a reflection of an empty heart, incapable of creating its own happiness.”
