Neymar’s last serious girlfriend was Brazilian actress and model Bruna Marquezine.
The pair split for the second time in 2018.
The PSG striker was linked last year to a sexy US model called Natalia Barulich.
She later rubbished claims they were dating by labelling it the ‘biggest joke ever’.
Neymar was under the spotlight over the festive break when it emerged Brazilian prosecutors were probing a New Years Eve party he was said to be organising near his luxury Brazilian home close to Rio de Janeiro.
Reports ahead of the celebration said he would be hosting a bash for 500 people including several models he was said to have flown in from abroad.
He ended up taking to Instagram on New Years Eve to show pictures of a low-key dinner and insist he was holding a close gathering for friends and family with social distancing guaranteed.
His Instagram story about the event began with him and his son Davi Lucca getting tested for Covid-19.
Neymar wrote in a photo he posted on Instagram at the time, showing him against a background of balloons in a flamboyant party outfit: “Happy New Year. May 2021 be filled with blessings in our lives.
“Thanks for everything my family, friends and fans.”
Emilia, who went solo in 2019 after making her name as a member of a Uruguayan pop cumbia group called Rombai, added in her own online message against the same background.
She wrote: “Happy New Year. I hope 2021 arrives surrounded by unbelievable things and especially good health.
“I love you with all my heart and trust in the magic of new beginnings.”
