Meet Rodrygo’s ‘Footballer’ Father, Mother & Twin Kids- All About Real Madrid Star’s Family Life

A Sport can definitely inspire generations. Many soccer players follow and take inspiration from their parents, but very few can make a mark. And one Real Madrid star is elegantly carrying his family heritage. Striker Rodrygo may have created a reputation for becoming one of the most talented players over the years. The Brazilian has once again led his team to the finals of the UEFA Champions League, scoring some crucial goals, but it’s hardly known that he received this gift from his father.

The Brazilian is known to be a family man. However, he doesn’t talk much about his personal life in public. His family is his biggest support system, which enables him to perform at such a high level. However, who are the star’s parents? And what more do we know about them? How many children does he have?

Who is Rodrygo’s family? All you need to know

Rodrygo was born to two Brazilians, Eric Goes and Denise Goes, in 2001. Eric Goes hails from a town called Osasco, in the state of São Paulo. The reason why Rodrygo took up soccer is none other than his father. The 39-year-old was a former player who played in lower tiers of Brazilian soccer. He represented clubs like Mirassol-SP and Ceará SC, which play in the Brazilian second-division league, and also Criciúma EC, which was recently promoted to Brasileiro Serie A. In contrast to his son, Eric Goes was a defender and played at the level of Serie B. However, not much is known about his mother, Denise, but the 38-year-old used to take care of Rodrygo when he was playing at Santos, while Eric used to travel, playing for senior teams.

The 23-year-old’s father was also the man who encouraged and led Rodrygo to become a soccer player. According to reports, the father reportedly said, “He’s gonna be a footballer,” even before Rodrygo was born. And now the son has taken over the baton from his father. Rodrygo has one younger sister, Ana Julya, who was born in 2018. Nevertheless, Rodrygo also has juniors of his own.

Meet Rodrygo’s next generation of superstars

The 23-year-old Real Madrid striker may be his parents’ jewel, but he has jewels of his own—his two children. Rodrygo was 21 years old when he had twins with Pamella Cristina Costa, a beautician and influencer in Brazil. Born in February, Rayan & Ravy are 2 years old and their maintenance is taken care of by the Los Blancos superstar itself. But it was not until late 2022 that Rodrygo revealed the news to the fans through the images he shared from his sister’s birthday party.

Meanwhile, the star seems to be enjoying his spells both on and off the field. Rodrygo will play a vital role along with Vinicius Jr in the final of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. Carlo Ancelotti’s crew are coming on the back of a prevailing La Liga victory and will be considered favorites. Can Rodrygo keep up his reputation of winning games for the team? Let us know in the comments.
