Virginia Fonseca denied rumors that she kissed player Neymar Jr. at a pre-race gathering ahead of the São Paulo Grand Prix.
The alleged encounter took place on November 6 at a restricted poker event where mobile phones were prohibited. Fábia Oliveira’s column on Metrópoles first reported that the pair showed close physical proximity during the evening. According to those reports, the 27-year-old influencer danced over the player while he sat on a sofa, and both consumed alcohol while Neymar used a microphone to call her by her nickname, “Vivibora.”
Social media users quickly reacted to the claims, frequently mentioning Bruna Biancardi. Biancardi is married to Neymar and is pregnant with their third child, Mariah.

Public Denials From Representatives and the Athlete
Virginia’s press office issued a statement dismissing the allegations as entirely false. The team said that she recently faced similar unfounded rumors linking her to racing driver Franco Colapinto, who left Brazil immediately after the race.
“Virginia nega categoricamente as insinuações e lamenta que especulações dessa natureza sejam tratadas como fatos, sem o devido compromisso com a verdade e sem considerar as consequências de sua divulgação,” stated her representatives.

Neymar also addressed the claims directly through his social media accounts, expressing frustration with the ongoing speculation. He repudiated the rumors of an involvement with another person.
“Não sou de fazer isso aqui nos meus Stories, mas dessa vez passaram dos limites. Está saindo notícia sobre meu envolvimento com outra pessoa e eu nego! É triste vive [onde] as pessoas estão mais pelo hype dos nomes do que pela realidade em si,” said Neymar.

Virginia faces scrutiny over past Neymar interactions
The latest rumors follow earlier public scrutiny surrounding Virginia’s interactions with Neymar. Public tension previously arose after Virginia admitted to calling Neymar at 2:00 AM regarding the Neymar Institute auction, an incident that reportedly caused discomfort for Biancardi.

Some users questioned the appropriateness of spreading unverified stories given Biancardi’s pregnancy, while others made references to past public figures associated with the athlete.
Aside from the rumors involving Neymar and Colapinto, Virginia was recently linked to Stock Car driver César Ramos following another post-race gathering.
