‘I made a mistake’: Neymar issues bizarre public apology to pregnant girlfriend Bruna Biancardi

Neymar has issued a lengthy and public apology to his pregnant girlfriend on social media.

The 31-year-old Paris Saint Germain footballer, whose fullname is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, claimed he had “made a mistake” and vowed that he would “try” to make their relationship work, declaring that he has “done wrong” by his other half.

The couple announced in April that they are expecting their first child together, with influencer Biancardi showing off her growing baby bump online.

What exactly Neymar is apologising for is unclear, but it comes just days after reports that the couple agreed upon a list of three conditions that allow the sports star to be unfaithful.

According to Em Off, the agreement means that if Neymar does engage with anyone female outside of their relationship, he “must be discreet”, “must wear a condom” and that he can “not kiss them on the mouth”.

The outlet claim that the PSG winger is “free to flirt and even have sex with other woman”, despite his commitment to Biancardi.

It’s also reported that the Brazilian “was caught in an exchange of messages with a lover in the middle of Valentine’s Day”.

Taking to Instagram, he wrote: Bru. I do this for both of you and your family. Justify the unjustifiable. No need to. But I need you in OUR lives

‘I saw how much you were exposed, how much you suffered with all of this and how much you want to be by my side. And I stand beside you.

‘I did wrong with you all. I risk saying I’m wrong every day, on and off the pitch. Only I solve my mistakes in personal life at home, in my intimacy with my family and friends...

‘All of this hit one of the most special people in my life. The woman I dreamed of following beside me, mother of my child.

‘Has it touched his family, which is my family today. She touched her intimacy in such a special moment that is maternity.

‘Bru, I already apologised for my mistakes, for unnecessary exposure, but I feel obligated to come publicly reaffirm that. If a private matter has become public, the apology has to be public.

‘Can’t imagine without you. I don’t know if we’ll work out, but TODAY you’re sure I want to try.

‘Our purpose will prevail, our love for our baby will win, our love for each other will make us stronger.

‘ALWAYS US. I love you,” he signed off, followed by a red love heart emoji.
