A Premier League star has jetted off on holiday with his stunning wife after he was snubbed by his national team.
Joelinton has become a cult hero in Newcastle and impressed enough to earn eight caps for the Selecao, with his last appearance coming in October. However, he was dropped for Carlo Ancelotti's most recent squad.
But his disappointment didn't last long, and Joelinton has gone in search of some winter sun with his jaw-dropping better half Thays Gondim.
Thays took to social media with some loved up snaps as they enjoyed some alone time on a beach. In more stories they could be seen sharing a kiss in the pool and lounging around in a hammock.
Joelinton and Thays are said to have met in Brazil, with her becoming his biggest fan as his football journey took him to Hoffenheim in Germany and a loan spell at Rapid Wien, where the couple lived in Vienna.
They welcomed their first child, a boy, in February 2017 before Thays gave birth to a baby girl in October 2022.
And in February 2023, the couple held a gender reveal party for their third child on the pitch at St James' Park.
Earlier this year, eagle-eyed Newcastle fans noticed that Thays had on the outside of her arm, just above her elbow. The pair had been enjoying a date night ahead of their FA Cup win over Bromley.
And images of the date revealed Thays' secret ‘Big Joe' etched on her arm in a nod to her hubby's affectionate nickname given to him by Newcastle supporters.
Fans on social media lapped up her artwork, with one account of X writing: "What a tattoo his lass has, mind." A second added: "This is class." Another Toon fan quipped: "As a tattoo it's s*** but it's says big joe so yeah".
While a fourth admitted he had to make his own checks on the authenticity of the picture, saying: "Went to insta to check, fully expecting this to have been doctored. Sensational".
