The Brazilian entrepreneur, often recognized as the third wife of the legendary soccer icon Pelé, has been a prominent figure in both business and media circles. The couple tied the knot in 2016 during a private and intimate ceremony held in São Paulo. Interestingly, their paths first crossed back in the 1980s, but it wasn’t until 2008 that they reconnected—fate stepping in when they met again in the elevator of the building they both called home. Their first public appearance as a couple came a few years later, in 2012, when they attended an event in Monaco.

Before stepping into the spotlight, she pursued her passion for business by studying business administration in New York, laying the foundation for her future entrepreneurial endeavors. She comes from a close-knit family; her parents are Paulo and Isaura Aoki, and she has a brother named Carlos Alberto Aoki. Of Japanese descent, she embraces her heritage with pride. Prior to her marriage to Pelé, she was previously married and later divorced her first husband, marking another chapter in her personal journey before finding love again.
