Regular readers will be aware I take a generally dim view of those who promote their polyamorous lifestyles in the media, noting that most who engage in the practice look like the south end of a cow heading north. It appears there are exceptions, however:
Football legend Ronaldinho is to marry TWO women at the same time, according to reports in Brazil.
Oh. So what do they look like?
I’ve got to say, they don’t look like the normal types who show up in these stories. For a start, neither has turquoise hair.
The two women have been living “harmoniously” with the former Barcelona star since December at his £5million Rio de Janeiro mansion, according to reports.
Ronaldinho started dating Beatriz in 2016, but is said to have continued his relationship with Priscilla, which began several years earlier.
But what’s in it for them?
According to reports, both lovers receive an “allowance” of around £1,500 from the footballer to spend as they wish.
Ah.
Both Priscilla and Beatriz are from Belo Horizonte, the city where the footballer played with Atletico Mineiro, leading the club to its first Copa Libertadores title in 2012.
…
He will marry the two women at a private ceremony inside the Santa Monica condominium, in the upmarket Barra da Tijuca district in Rio, where he has lived since 2015, according to the columnist, from Brazil’s O Dia newspaper.
See, polyamory can work, provided you’re a multi-millionaire celebrity, you select a couple of waifs from the provinces, and you’re the only one shagging around. But it’s not all roses:
During the Rio carnival this year Ronaldinho hired a VIP box in the sambadrome to watch the processions and took both women.
According to reports, everything was fine until ex-girlfriend Juliana Diniz, who the footballer dated in 2011, showed up.
Showbiz insider Leo Dias claimed that the climate became frosty as Priscilla and Beatriz didn’t hide their jealousy of the woman.
At least not for the girls; I imagine it bothered Ronaldinho not one jot.
I wonder if this story will get a puff-piece on female empowerment in the New York Times?
This isn’t polyamory, it’s a harem.
This isn’t polyamory, it’s a harem.
Yes I know, it’s Friday.
“I’ve got to say, they don’t like the normal types” — this should be “I’ve got to say, they don’t look like the normal types”.
Thanks, corrected!
Bloody good footballer too!
It’s funny how all the other cases are one woman with several men. As you ask at the end; Spoke in the works?
“I’ve got to say, they don’t look like the normal types”.
Now add a picture of Ronaldinho.
Now add a picture of Ronaldinho.
Heh!
I’m reminded that the Chinese writing for trouble is a symbol showing two women under one roof.
Just imagine coming back from a night out with the lads to nagging in stereo.
Thanks but no thanks!
According to reports, both lovers receive an “allowance” of around £1,500 from the footballer to spend as they wish.
So what is the difference between paying for a whore by the hour and paying for a whore by the month?
There are usually legal impediments to bigamy (which is what this has to be, shurley?).
How have these impediments been circumvented? And how and when did that happen?
This won’t end well…

Oh God knows, this is Brazil! To get an idea of Brazilian morals when it comes to footballers, consider the fact that a goalkeeper was jailed for murdering his girlfriend and feeding her body to the dogs, but let out and allowed to sign for another club. He’s back inside now, though.
JG,
Don’t be so cynical. They do it for love, not the money. I firmly believe they would feel the same about a Brazilian dustman. Mind you, I also believe that Elvis Presley is alive and well and stacks trolleys for Morrison’s in Aldershot.
Not Aldershot, it’s Swindon!
Shades of the late Mrs Merton interviewing Debbie McGee- “So what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?”
Is Belo Horizonte Portuguese for “looks good on her back”?

Bloke in Spain’s yer man for that sort of stuff.
“Showbiz insider Leo Dias claimed that the climate became frosty as Priscilla and Beatriz didn’t hide their jealousy of the woman.”
Nah. That’s brasilenas concealing their jealousy. Not hiding their jealousy would be tearing la Dias limb from limb & stamping on the pieces.
But a mere pair? Trivial. I’ve half a dozen in the house, at present.
The fact that a man gives a woman — sorry, two women in this case — an “allowance” to spend as they wish would cause a veritable tsunami of anger among feminazis in our part of the world.
But I assume both are happy to be allowed whatever Ronaldinho wants.
Not my scene at all; I prefer them to form an orderly queue.
‘Bigamy’ is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same thing.
I can imagine them spending many an evening discussing the off-side rule in all its many permutations.
That’s all very well having two Brazillian missusses, but can either of them bend the ball round the wall at a free kick?
“So what is the difference between paying for a whore by the hour and paying for a whore by the month?”
Rather similar to paying for the sex in marriage via a divorce settlement. Except the ones that you pay by the hour work out cheaper……ask Paul McCartney:

This is not polyamory, it’s professional “bearding”. (I’ll let you look that up.)
