Former Barcelona star Ronaldinho is planning to marry two women at the same time, according to reports in his native Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro’s daily newspaper O Dia claims Ronaldinho, 38, has organised an August ceremony at which he will celebrate his love for live-in girlfriends Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza.

Bigamy is illegal in Brazil and O Dia reports that the wedding will therefore be unofficial.

Instead, it offers Ronaldinho an excuse to hold a party for close relatives at his upmarket Santa Monica condominium in Barra da Tijuca, Rio, where he lives.
