Pele named secret daughter in his £13million will after spending her entire life denying he was her father - and 17 years after she died

*Football legend Pele had spent years denying he was the father of Sandra Regina

*He had her in an affair with a cleaner, something that was proven after a DNA test

*When Sandra died in 2006 he still refused to acknowledge her as his daughter

*It has emerged he named her as one of his seven children in his will last month

Football legend Pele recognised his 'secret' daughter in his will after denying she was his for his entire life, it has been revealed.

The Brazilian soccer icon had previously refused to acknowledge he was the father of Sandra Regina, leaving her heartbroken when she died 17 years ago.

Despite this, the 82-year-old requested to meet with her two sons, speaking to them in the flesh for the first time on December 28, just one day before he died.

It has now emerged that he gave a share of his multi-million pound estate to the pair, after finally naming Sandra as one of his seven children in his will.

It brought to a close a family drama that plagued the three-time World Cup winner for decades, with her children Octavio Felinto Neto and Gabriel Arantes do Nascimento saying their mother's dream had come true.

The Mirror reports Gabriel as saying: 'I spoke to my aunts, and they said that our grandfather wanted to see us.

'We were very excited, it was an opportunity we had been waiting for. Every family has fights and rows, ours is no different, but there are moments when union and love are more important than anything else. We are extremely happy.'

Sandra, who died in 2006 of cancer, was born after Pele had an affair with his cleaner, Anisia Machado.

Ms Machado fought for years to get him to it he was the father, but he refused to do so, even after a DNA test proved he was.

Sandra was given the right to use Pele's surname, Nascimento, in 1996 after a five-year legal battle.

When Pele died last month after a long battle with cancer he ed on an estate thought to be worth around £13million.

The global icon had three children from his first marriage, twins from his second and two children, including Sandra, from affairs.

Finally

Chai the girl done win lottery

Sandra and Pele will now meet each other and part no more.


Rip soccer legend

Na wah o

Pressure of not wanting to disappoint the world because of the high pedestal he was placed as the GOAT made him deny his blood, what a shame.

Did it for closure before his death.

Congrats to Sandra's kids. Their mother fought a good fight, sadly she's not alive to witness this moment.

Now this is real cash out

money finally came
And they lived happily ever after.

Some men have fathered children littered all over the place, this is a sad story that they would both settle in heaven.

Legend !

Now this is Reality and not Nollywood. By now, we for don know wetin go happen next

Lagos state government should....

She will give him a resounding slap in the afterlife. If dem both go Heaven, they fit separate the fight.
If na hell, na royal rumble, nobody go settle am.

Heart breaking. They will work this out in another time and in another life till they get it right.

She had denied him once before in another
lifetime perhaps...

May we be champions of love in our lifetime

unfortunately it came a bit late! Who go come spend the money

Sanwo Olu, over to you

Cool

Sensible man.

I'm sure the daughter in question is shocked. She probably was not expecting this.

That is why all this public fighting...take am with pinch of salt. That is how Trump and Kim Jong Un were throwing abuse at each other one minute, and the next, they were shaking hands, and holding peace conferences.

Modified

the daughter is dead, so the cash goes to her two sons. Missed that.

Love wins all

So Logically, he was scared of what the world would say assuming he accepted her when he was alive right?
So now the world would be talking behind his back now that he's gone..

You clearly didn't read the part where it says the girl died since 2006?

Chai, the girl children dn hit gold.

How do all this Randy men do it

Sleep with every weak thing in skirt: maid, cleaner, house girl, gardener daughter
Then turn around to reject the consequences of their actions even after DNA, is that trying to be a bully or trying to be wicked to innocent young children

Mr Babajide Sanwo oluw is towing same part just like many big men before them

Complexities of the human mind.
RIP legend, you found peace.
