Teenage superstar Endrick ignored his family's advice to marry Brazilian model Gabriely Miranda so quickly. The couple recently swapped their homeland for Spain after the player's big-money move to Real Madrid.
And Miranda was in the stands at the Bernabéu to watch her new husband score his first Champions League goal on Tuesday night, as the former Palmeiras forward came off the bench to cap off a 3-1 win over Stuttgart with a long-range strike.
Endrick, a father, only turned 18 in July, and was 17 when he and Miranda met less than a year ago.
The young man's parents are said to have “adored” his partner, but Brazilian media outlet Extra reports that they advised Endrick not to rush into marriage. They feared that his love life would distract him from his destiny in football.
But that didn't stop the couple from getting married. The age difference between Endrick, 18, and Miranda, 23, caused a stir, but the couple seem to be in love, and the Real star's new wife posted a series of photos on Instagram in which she wears the famous white shirt.
Endrick will reportedly pocket just over £30,000-a-week when his contract extension runs out in 2027, unless his performances between now and then merit a raise.

Virtually every major European club has been keeping tabs on him since he broke into Palmeiras' first team at the age of 16. He has gone on to score 21 goals in 82 games for the Brazilian giants and already has three goals for the national team.
Endrick will inevitably be on a huge pay spree if he continues to fulfil his potential. Real star Vinicius Jr is reportedly earning close to £350,000 a week and, like his recently married team-mate, has been spotted as a promising Brazilian teenager.
Looking back on Tuesday's win over Stuttgart and Endrick's goal in added time, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti believes the club have a special player on their hands. “Endrick had courage, it was the last chance of the game and the best solution was to take advantage of the counterattack,” said the Italian.
“Endrick is capable of doing something that no one can imagine. He has this gift that is very effective. Not only in matches, but also in training. You can see that he is a very special player.”
