During coverage of the World Cup in the United States, former player Romário has stood out not only for his appearances at sporting events, but also for his busy love life that seems to “bloom” on American soil. After recent news about a reunion with an old flame, “Baixinho” was surprised to be seen with a new company in New York.
In the past, he sought the presence of Nana Gouvêa, a Brazilian actress who has lived in North America for years. The two were spotted together in Manhattan on at least two occasions.
Among the sightings, Nana, who has been the drum queen of several carnivals, was with Romário and his friends at a celebration dinner, on car trips around the city and even in a cigar shop. A video and a photograph show the couple in an intimate moment on the balcony of the renowned Millennium Hilton New York One Un Plaza.
What makes the situation even more peculiar is the fact that this same Millennium Hilton New York One Un Plaza was the place to stay for Marcielle Mota, an ex-girlfriend of Romário who traveled at his invitation. Apparently, one of the women was unaware of the other’s presence in the former athlete’s life, both in the same environment.
When asked about what happened, Nana Gouvêa expressed her feeling of disrespect: “I don’t want to talk about it now, I just feel disrespected, because I had no idea that there was a girl with him in the same hotel.”
The relationship between Nana and Romário has ancient roots, going back many years, when they met in Rio de Janeiro. At that time, she was featured in men’s magazines and he was a constant figure in Rio’s nightlife. A source close to that period revealed that there was always an intense flirtation between the two, but what was once a “platonic passion” has now come to fruition, with him at 60 and her at 51.
Details about Romário’s reunion with his Qatar World Cup girlfriend
Despite his professional commitments with the World Cup and the Senate, Romário found time to keep his romantic life active in the United States. Far from being alone, the former star sought company that dates back to the 2022 World Cup.
Marcielle Mota, a student with whom Romário had a previous romance, is the person who has shared leisure time with him during the World Cup. The two were seen in restaurants and enjoying the stunning view of Manhattan, also from the Millennium Hilton New York One Un Plaza, whose daily rates reach R$5,000.
Four years ago, Romário and Marcielle had a discreet relationship that lasted until the third quarter of 2023. During that period, she was considered the “first lady” of the traditional Arraiá do Baixola, a June party promoted by the former national team striker.
This is not the former player’s only romantic travel record this year. In May, Romário and Marcielle spent a few days in Paris. Shortly before, at the beginning of the same month, he was walking around the French capital with Babi Cavalcanti, with whom he has also been meeting and to whom he had promised a trip to the World Cup to celebrate her birthday.
