Joao Mendes is Ronaldinhoโ€™s only son and has been making steady progress in football. He currently plays for Burnleyโ€™s Under-21 team in England, where he signed a contract lasting until June 2026.

Earlier this year, he moved to Manchester with Giovanna to focus on his career. The couple has been in a relationship since 2022 and now looks forward to starting a family.

Ronaldinho has not yet made a public statement about the news. In recent weeks, he has been busy with events, including a charity football match in China and a performance in an El Clรกsico legends game, where his skills continue to amaze fans.
