Barcelona forward Raphinha is making the most of his September international break with his wife and Brazilian blonde Natalia Rodrigues Belloli.
In recent footage shared on his Instagram handle, the two lovebirds went steamy on a luxurious and exotic holiday break, donning swimsuits.
The footage is coming after the Barcelona star was controversially left out of the Brazil squad for the ongoing September international break by new head coach Dorivial Jr.
The former Leeds winger was expected to make Dorivial Jr.’s roster for the double-header 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay after a decent showing in the 2024 Copa America but was axed out.
And the 27-year-old ensured he made the international break by sharing the luxurious timeout with Natalia Rodriguez.
The footage is one of the many loved-up moments the footballer has shared with the beautiful sweetheart and mother-of-one.
Save his on-field heroics, Raphinha has countlessly flaunted his romantic side with his seething 8.3 million followers on Instagram.
The most notable was his appreciation Christmas post with the family featuring the wife and his newborn. Sharing a beautiful video with the family and his dogs, the footballer wrote;
“I still remember when I asked for a miracle. Of little faith, yes, I was afraid. And today, I can see it. It was far beyond what I thought. Too many blessings to count. Thank God for the most precious gift you have ever given me, the FAMILY.”
