Former Brazilian striker Hulk has organized a religious wedding ceremony as he prepares to marry his ex-wife’s niece.
As reported by Portal LeodiasHulk, who plays for Atletico Mineiro, will marry Camila Angelo in December, with the two already tying the knot in a civil ceremony in 2020.
What may come as a surprise is the fact that Hulk and Angelo were technically related even before their wedding four years ago, but not by blood.
Hulk was previously married to Camila’s aunt, Iran Angelo, and the couple was together for twelve years.
They had three children together between 2007 and 2019; sons Ian and Tiago, and a daughter, Alice, who are cousins to his new wife.
In 2020, Hulk perhaps unsurprisingly surprised many when he married Camila following the end of his twelve-year relationship with Iran.

According to reports, the ceremony will take place on a beach on the coast of Paraiba, with an exact date yet to be agreed.
The following year, the couple confirmed they were expecting their first child, Zaya. Last year they announced that they were expecting a second child, Aisha.
Atletico are still competing for the CONMEBOL Libertadores Cup, which could see them compete in the FIFA Intercontinental Club Cup.
That would extend their season and could force Hulk to postpone the wedding ceremony.
Hulk scored 11 goals in 49 appearances for Brazil between 2009 and 2021 and was part of the side that won the Confederations Cup in 2013.
In club football, he is best known for his spell at Porto between 2008 and 2012, during which he won the Europa League and four national titles.
In addition, Hulk, now 38 years old, enjoyed success with Zenit St. Petersburg and Shanghai SIPG.
Reports about Hulk and Camila’s relationship emerged in December 2019, just five months after De Sousa’s marriage to Iran Angelo ended in July of the same year.

The couple married in September 2020, when Hulk was still playing for Chinese side Shanghai SIPG following his divorce from the mother of his three other children: two sons and a daughter.
It is believed that Hulk told his family about his relationship with Camila in December 2019 – including his three school-aged children Ian, Thiago and Alice.
A spokesperson for the striker said in a statement at the time: ‘Hulk called Camila’s parents and brother and told them the truth.
‘It was Hulk himself who made the information public because he had nothing to hide.
“His position is transparent and he wants to avoid lies and malicious comments.”
