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<\/a>, however:<\/p>\n

Football legend Ronaldinho is to marry TWO women at the same time, according to reports in Brazil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh. So what do they look like?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

The two women have been living “harmoniously” with the former Barcelona star since December at his \u00a35million Rio de Janeiro mansion, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Ronaldinho started dating Beatriz in 2016, but is said to have continued his relationship with Priscilla, which began several years earlier.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But what’s in it for them?<\/p>\n

According to reports, both lovers receive an “allowance” of around \u00a31,500 from the footballer to spend as they wish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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:<\/p>\n

During the Rio carnival this year Ronaldinho hired a VIP box in the sambadrome to watch the processions and took both women.<\/p>\n

According to reports, everything was fine until ex-girlfriend Juliana Diniz, who the footballer dated in 2011, showed up.<\/p>\n

Showbiz insider Leo Dias claimed that the climate became frosty as Priscilla and Beatriz didn\u2019t hide their jealousy of the woman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At least not for the girls; I imagine it bothered Ronaldinho not one jot.<\/p>\n

I wonder if this story will get a puff-piece on female empowerment in the New York Times<\/em>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
