There is a new craze sweeping Instagram: footballers posting soppy pics of them and their loved ones.Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar have not been immune in showing their better halves just how loved up they really are.
Soppy messages have flooded the social media site this summer.
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes was dressed all in white as he posed alongside wife Lais, his daughter and his four dogs.
Song lyrics are a favourite, with Neymar posting the words to Aerosmoth’s I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing to Bruna Marquezine and Andy Carroll posting (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life, by Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley.
Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata consistently posts images of him with model wife Alice Campello, posting poems and love letters to the site.
Ederson posed alongside wife Lais all in white for a Father’s Day snap.
The caption read: ‘Happy father’s day my love, I love you ❤️’
Neymar posted the full first verse and chorus to Aerosmith’s power ballad I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.
The Brazilian skipper’s 101million followers are treated to lots of updates about his love life with Bruna.
Alvaro Morata is one of the more regular offenders on social media, posting dozens of images of Italian model wife, Alice Campello.
One caption read: “To you who are the only one in the world, The only reason to get to the bottom of my breath, When I look at you After a day full of words, Without you telling me anything, It’s clear, To you that you found me, At the corner, With my fists closed, With my shoulders against the wall, Ready to defend myself, With my eyes down I stood in line, With the disillusioned, You picked me up like a cat, And you took me with you, I LOVE YOU.”
West Ham striker Andy Carroll regularly posts updates of him and former The Only Way is Essex star Billie Mucklow. For this image, Carroll wrote out the lyrics of (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life to his wife.
Neymar and new girlfriend Bruna Marquezine are no strangers to the camera. But since their new-found love flourished, the once-party boy footballer may now be ready to settle down as he has begun posting more images of his 22-year-old girlfriend.
The soppiest, shown above, sees Marquezine, dressed in lingerie, kiss the topless PSG ace on the neck as they lie on the floor together taking selfies.
