Court rules on Flamengo player accused of failing to pay child support | OneFootball

Léo Pereira and Tainá had two children before separating, when one started dating Karoline Lima and the other, Éder Militão

The ex-wife of Léo Pereira lost the lawsuit she filed against the Flamengo defender. Judge Fábio Marques Brandão, from the 2nd Family Court of the Barra da Tijuca district, declared this Friday (17th) that the number 4 for the red and black team owes nothing to Tainá Militão.

Léo Pereira and Tainá have two children, and after the couple's separation, the court ruled in 2024 that the defender should pay the full amount of R$ 2 million in child support. However, the ex-wife decided to sue him for not having received the money.

Did Léo Pereira pay?

Léo Pereira proved to the court that he made the alimony payment one day after the amount was set. “It is not possible to believe that the plaintiff would not have known about the payment in this interval of more than ten months between the date of full compliance and the defendant's summons,” says the document signed by the judge.

Brandão also ordered Tainá to pay court costs and attorney’s fees, set at 10% of the amount sought. The judge ordered the case to be closed and the records to be archived.

What is the context?

According to Tainá, Léo Pereira cheated on her during the pregnancy of one of their children. The couple broke up and, for the same reason, Karoline Lima and defender Éder Militão also ended their relationship.

The Flamengo defender started dating Karoline, while the Real Madrid (ESP) defender married Tainá, who took on her current surname. However, Léo Pereira is now single again.

All the breakups and new relationships happened while Karoline was suing Militão and Tainá was doing the same with Léo Pereira. Both lawsuits had the same motive, but only the Flamengo defender was victorious in court.

Is the player already dating someone else?

After separating from the two digital influencers, Léo Pereira remained silent. However, rumors began that the defender was already seeing someone new after breaking up with Karoline. The rumors, however, were not confirmed.

When is Flamengo’s next game?

With Léo Pereira free of legal issues, Flamengo plays this Sunday (19th) against Palmeiras, starting at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with live coverage.
