Why Real Madrid star Endrick’s parents did not want him to marry older model just yet

Real Madrid’s teenage sensation Endrick reportedly defied the advice of his family by marrying Brazilian model Gabriely Miranda shortly after their move to Spain, Soccernet.football understands.

The 18-year-old forward, who made headlines with his big-money transfer to the Spanish giants, has quickly settled into life both on and off the pitch in Madrid.

Endrick and Gabriely Miranda tied the knot following their arrival in Spain, with the 23-year-old model supporting her husband from the stands during Real Madrid’s 3-1 Champions League victory over Stuttgart.

Endrick, coming off the bench, sealed the win with a stunning long-range strike in stoppage time for his first Champions League goal.

Despite the couple’s happiness, Brazilian media outlet Extra reports that Endrick’s family had concerns about the timing of his marriage.

While they are said to “adore” Gabriely Miranda, they reportedly cautioned the young footballer against rushing into such a commitment. His parents were worried that his love life might distract him from his footballing potential.

However, Endrick went ahead with the marriage, despite the age gap between the 18-year-old and his 23-year-old wife. The couple appears deeply in love, and Gabriely has even shared pictures on Instagram, proudly wearing Real Madrid’s iconic white shirt.

On the financial front, Endrick is set to earn over £30,000 a week from 2027, though his current form could lead to a salary boost sooner.

His rapid rise has drawn comparisons to Real Madrid’s other Brazilian star, Vinicius Jr., who reportedly earns close to £350,000 a week.

Like Vinicius, Endrick was a teenage prodigy in Brazil, scoring 21 goals in 82 games for Palmeiras and already netting three goals for the national team.
