However, they were spotted celebrating the Paris Saint-Germain superstar's birthday together in February. The news regarding their pregnancy is as big a confirmation as one can get about their reconciliation.
Biancardi posted a series of photos on Instagram alongside the former Barcelona winge,r with the caption (as translated from Portuguese):
"We dream about your life, plan your arrival and knowing that you are here to complete our love, makes our days much happier. You will arrive in a beautiful family, with your brother, grandparents, uncles and aunties who already love you very much!
"Come soon son, we are waiting for you! Before I formed you in the womb, I chose you; before you were born, I set you apart” - Jeremiah 1:5"
Many of Neymar's current and former teammates, including Richarlison, Marco Verratti and Nene, passed on their congratulations. Among those was also Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, who reacted with a few emoticons:
"😍😍😍😍😍"
The duo haven't played together at club level but have shared the pitch 14 times as teammates for Brazil, including at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Neymar has also been vocally supportive of Vin' in the past when the Real Madrid winger was been the subject of racist abuse.
Neymar already has a son, David Lucca (12), with his ex-girlfriend Carol Dantas.
How PSG's Neymar reacted to Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior's Ballon d'Or ranking?
Vinicius Junior ended the 2021-22 season with the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles.
The Brazilian had 22 goals and 20 assists in 52 games across competitions, including the winner against Liverpool in the Champions League final. However, he only finished eighth in the 2022 Ballon d'Or rankings.
PSG superstar Neymar couldn't believe it. In a tweet made hours after the Ballon d'Or award was handed to Karim Benzema in October, he wrote (as translated from Portuguese):
"Deserved Benzema ace!! Now Vini Jr being in 8 is not enough. Minimum between 3"
Sadio Mane finished behind the Real Madrid centre-forward, with Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne completing the top three. Vinicius was sandwiched between his club teammates Thibaut Courtois (seventh) and Luka Modric in the rankings. Neymar, by contrast, was not even in the top 25.
