Anitta is undeniably living some of the best years of her music career. This year, she took her Baile Funk Experience across the U.S., lighting up stages with several exciting performances. One of her most successful recent collaborations was ‘BELLAKEO’ with Peso Pluma at the end of 2023. Their chemistry sparked so much buzz that rumors of a possible romance quickly hit the headlines.
However, it was nothing more than a great friendship, despite them sharing a kiss on stage during a festival in Mexico. Now, after plenty of speculation about her love life, we can finally confirm that the singer is in love. But, to everyone’s surprise, it’s not with Peso Pluma—it’s with a footballer.
Who is Anitta’s Boyfriend?
None other than fellow Brazilian Vinicius Souza, a player for Sheffield United F.C. The relationship was indirectly confirmed when Souza posted a carousel of photos on Instagram, captioned ‘Collecting moments,’ featuring the singer. She replied with a sweet ‘My love,’ followed by a heart emoji. According to People magazine, about a year ago, Souza and Anitta exchanged messages on social media that got people talking, but nothing came of it—until now.
Who is Vinicius Souza?
Vinícius de Souza Costa, commonly known as Vinícius Souza, is a Brazilian professional footballer. Born on June 19, 1999, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he has built a reputation for his strong physical presence, tackling ability, and versatility in midfield.
Souza began his career in the youth system of Flamengo, one of Brazil’s most prestigious football clubs. After progressing through the ranks, he made his professional debut with Flamengo, but his breakthrough came after moving to European football. In 2020, he joined Lommel SK, a Belgian club that is part of the City Football Group, giving him the opportunity to develop his game in European leagues.
In subsequent years, Souza had loan spells at prominent European clubs, including K.V. Mechelen (Belgium) and RCD Espanyol (Spain), where he gained experience in top-tier competitions. His performances caught the attention of other European teams, leading to his current position at Sheffield United F.C., a club in the English Premier League, where he continues to grow as a key player.
