Isabella Arantes (@isaabellaarantes) and Gabriel Medina (@gabrielmedina) got married this Thursday (July 30) in an intimate ceremony on the north coast of São Paulo. The bride chose a gown by Spanish designer Alberto Palatchi, crafted by the Silvia Fregonese atelier. The groom’s look was created by Ricardo Almeida, a longtime friend of the surfer.

The reception brings together around 100 guests—including the couple’s family and close friends—for a night featuring performances by É o Tchan and Bonde do Tigrão. In the coming days, the couple will head to Tahiti, where Medina is set to compete in a WSL Championship Tour event on August 8, before extending their trip for a honeymoon across French Polynesia.

Neymar was in attendance at the wedding, alongside a handful of other high profile Brazilian celebrities and friends.

In October, Gabriel Medina and Isabella Arantes cryptically revealed that they were expecting a baby. Except they weren’t. The whole thing was a psyop to bring exposure to his surf brand for children, Medininha. It worked. Medina’s post racked up more than 300,000 likes and 5,000 comments. The new Medininha account quickly gained over 16,000 followers.

This time, however, it’s not a dupe.

In his vows, Medina surprised everyone with a pregnancy announcement, mentioning the impending arrival of a little boy.

So, the 3x Champ has a new marriage, a healthy left pec, a sticker-less nose, a bank account full of cash, a baby boy on the way, and a real chance at a fourth world title.

Oh yeah, and the next two events are barreling lefts.
