How many children does Brazil legend Pele have?

Published on December 04, 2022 at 04:04 PM

THERE’S only one name that comes to mind when you think of Brazilian top goal scorers – Pele.

The footballing icon scored over 1,000 career goals which includes 77 international strikes for Brazil.

Pele claims he didn’t know how many children he had at one stage

But Pele’s total amount of children is adding up too and it has come with a little bit of controversy.

SunSport has info on the exact amount of children Pele has had during his illustrious lifetime.

How many children does Pele have?

Pele has been married three times but admitted to letting his eyes wonder elsewhere during his Netflix documentary.

The Brazilian legend even revealed not knowing how many children he had at one point due to the number of affairs he had.

Pele has children with four different women

In February 1966, Pele got married to his first wife Rosemeri dos Reis Cholbi and the pair had three children together – Kelly, Edinho and Jennifer.

However, after splitting up with Rosemeri, the goal-scoring machine had a fling with his housekeeper Anizia Machado which led to the birth of his daughter Sandra Machado in 1993.

But Pele refused to take a DNA test leaving Sandra no choice but to file a lawsuit for Pele to recognise her as her daughter as well as publishing a book titled “The Daughter Pele Never Wanted”;.

Pele would go on to lose the lawsuit as DNA evidence showed that Sandra was his biological daughter.

Four years later, Pele had another daughter, Flavia Kurtz with journalist Lenita Kurtz.

And then in 1994, Pele married psychologist and gospel singer, Assaria Lemos Seixas who was his second wife, and the ex-couple had twins Joshua and Celeste.

They do not have any children together as of all of Pele’s kids came before their relationship.
