The Hulk is expecting his fourth child

Brazilian football striker Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, more commonly known as Hulk due to his resemblance Lou Ferrigno, star of 1977’s The Incredible Hulk series, is expecting a baby with his niece.

The Hulk, 35, and his new wife Camila Sousa, 32, announced the news on Saturday (September 18) via Instagram.

Alongside images of the couple kissing, holding the ultrasound and looking generally loved-up, the duo also thanked God for blessing them with an impending bundle of joy.

Translated from Portuguese, the post reads: “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.”

They continued: “My heart overflows with so much happiness and I can only say thank you GOD.”

The post concluded by saying that the couple is excited for the baby to arrive and that they promise to love them unconditionally.

The Atlético Mineiro player currently has three children with ex-wife Iran Angelo, who just so happens to be Camila’s aunt.

Hulk and Angelo split in 2019 after 12-years of marriage. Back in 2020, he admitted that he had been unfaithful throughout their marriage and that the pair had got together due to Angelo becoming pregnant – however he insisted that his friendship with Camila did not become romantic until after his split from her aunt.

“[We] started dating and in less than a month you got pregnant,” reports Quem, detailing Hulk’s response to Angelo’s accusations that the pair got together while they were still married.

“I’m a man. I wasn’t happy in my marriage. I had many reasons. I spent my entire marriage betraying Iran, I lived a single life. She knew very well and just wanted to have the status of wife of the Hulk,” he continued.

He said the first time they were intimate was in China when Camila came to visit him while he was playing for Shanghai SIPG.

“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.”
