Football legend, Pele named secret daughter in his 13million will after spending his entire

The late football icon, Pele, who had always denied being the father of Sandra Regina, has reportedly included her in his will, acknowledging her as his ‘secret’ daughter. Sandra, who passed away 17 years ago, was the product of an affair Pele had with his cleaner Anisia Machado.

Pele’s acknowledgment of Sandra came just one day before his passing, when he requested to meet her two sons for the first time. In his will, he allotted a share of his estate, valued at approximately £13million, to Sandra and her children, fulfilling her longstanding dream.

Sandra’s children, Octavio Felinto Neto and Gabriel Arantes do Nascimento, expressed their joy at their grandfather’s decision, stating that despite family conflicts, moments of unity and love are invaluable.

Pele had a complex family life, being survived by three children from his first marriage, twins from his second marriage, and two children from extramarital affairs. He also formally recognized his other illegitimate daughter, Flavia Kurtz, from a separate affair. Throughout his life, Pele was romantically involved with multiple women and married three times, the last being to Marcia Aoki in 2016.

At the time of his death, his family members included his sister Maria and his 100-year-old mother, Celeste, who was reportedly unaware of her son’s passing.
