Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr. has apologised to his pregnant girlfriend Bruna Biancardi over his behaviour via Instagram.
The 31-year-old admitted the negative impact his actions, which includes recent revelations of his infidelity, had on his relationship and he also highlighted the importance of accepting the responsibility of one’s behaviour.
"I do this for both of you and your family. Justify the unjustifiable. No need to. But I need you in our lives I saw how much you were exposed, how much you suffered with all of this and how much you want to be by my side. And I stand beside you. I did wrong with you all.
"I risk saying I'm wrong every day, on and off the pitch. Only I solve my mistakes in my personal life at home, in my intimacy with my family and friends," Neymar posted on his Instagram account.
The former Barcelona star said that he felt “obliged” to publicly apologise to his girlfriend saying that if a private matter becomes public, then a public apology is needed.
"All of this hit one of the most special people in my life. The woman I dreamed of following beside me, the mother of my child. Has it touched his family, which is my family today. She touched her intimacy in such a special moment that is maternity.
"Bru, I already apologised for my mistakes, for unnecessary exposure, but I feel obligated to come publicly reaffirm that. If a private matter has become public, the apology has to be public."
Football star Neymar concluded his post saying that despite being unsure whether his relationship will work out or not, he wants to try to make it work.
"Can't imagine without you I don't know if we'll work out, but today you're sure I want to try. Our purpose will prevail, our love for our baby will win, our love for each other will make us stronger. Always us, I love you", the post concluded.
