Clara Brasil, who began her relationship with the ex-coach and football executive months earlier, continues to stoke interest in their bond. The couple's age difference has captivated South American media, especially given Marco Polo del Nero's prominence.
"I have received and continue to receive a lot of criticism, but I don't care what others think of me. I am respected, loved, and very happy. I don't depend on the opinions of others," Clara Brasil stated on Instagram.
With over 350,000 followers on Instagram, Clara Brasil not only indulges in modeling but has also ventured into acting. She is fearless in posting bold photos, frequently appearing in bikinis.
The pair cannot enjoy extensive travel together. Marco Polo del Nero is wanted in Europe and the United States but has found a safe haven in Brazil, where he lives freely with Clara Brasil.
Marco Polo del Nero had a notable career in football, serving roles within FIFA and CONMEBOL, and was the president of the Brazilian Football Association. His career halted in 2015 amid allegations of various offenses, keeping him away from the sports scene for almost a decade.
The controversial figure faced suspension by FIFA and a hefty fine of one million Swiss francs. He is accused of embezzlement, extortion, financial fraud, and offering bribes.
