Brazil striker Hulk has announced that the NIECE of his ex-wife is pregnant with his fourth child.
The 35-year-old confirmed Camila Angelo was expecting in an Instagram post which included footage of them kissing each other.
The footballer whose real name is Givanildo Vieira de Sousa was dubbed Hulk for his upper-body strength.
Brazilian star Hulk started dating the 32-year-old – niece of his ex-wife Iran Angelo – in late 2019 after ending his 12-year relationship with his former lover just a few months earlier.
The loved-up pair married in March 2020 while Hulk was still playing for Chinese side Shangai SIPG following his split from the mother of his two sons and daughter.
Taking to Instagram, the former Porto ace uploaded photos of the couple holding up ultrasound scan photos of the unborn baby while holding Camila up in the air.
Captioning the post, he said: “Today with a heart full of gratitude to God, I come to share with you that for the fourth time I am being blessed with another child.

He also posted a home-made video of him dancing with his wife as he lifted her in his arms and kissed her while she held the hospital snaps.
The footballer, famed for his body strength, reportedly broke the news of his relationship with Camila to his family and kids in December 2019.
A spokesman for the player commented at the time: “Hulk called the parents and the brother of Camila and told them the truth.
“It was Hulk himself who made the information public because he had nothing to hide. His position is transparency and he wants to avoid lies and malicious comments.”
Iran has since spoken out on the ‘great pain’ her ex-husband’s relationship with his niece has caused her, but Hulk has slammed his former partner for ‘treating me like a monster’ and has addressed her allegations of infidelity.
“I had countless reasons. I spent my entire marriage betraying Iran. She lived a single life. She just wanted to have the status of wife of the Hulk.
“Camila came to China. I don’t think I’m an ugly person and I’m young. Camila is young and extremely beautiful. We ended up getting involved. We were single.”
