Anitta’s Romantic Relationship with A Footballer Confirmed: Who Is Her Boyfriend?
To everyone’s surprise, the singer's new boyfriend isn’t Peso Pluma
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.
