Following the end of their relationship, the Brazilian began dating Camila Angelo, the niece of his ex-wife and the pair now have two children together, Aisha and Zaya.
And now, details of Hulk and Camila's wedding have emerged after the pair finally tied the knot this week.

Hulk and Camila officially married each other during a civil ceremony in 2020, but decided to host a religious wedding ceremony to celebrate the marriage on Friday.
The ceremony was held in The Diocesan Cathedral of Our Lady of the Conception in the Brazilian city of Campina Grande, the home town of the 38-year-old footballer, and was attended by friends and family of the couple.
Hulk wore a wine-coloured suit for the ceremony and, according to Brazilian outlet G Show, was accompanied by his mother as he walked down the aisle.
Meanwhile his bride wore a designer wedding dress with a veil and walked down the aisle with her father.
Celebrating his wedding on Instagram, Hulk wrote: "Before God and the promises of our love, we unite in one heart, beginning our eternity together, life! I love you."
However, not everyone was supportive of the couple's wedding, as one of his ex-wife's sisters, Rayssa, reportedly launched a brutal attack on Camila on social media.
Rayssa, via The Daily Mail, reportedly wrote on Instagram: "Today is a hard day to swallow, a day that reveals how far betrayal can go when it comes from the people we least expect.
"If my mother were alive, I am sure she would not be able to bear such monstrosity. Seeing a granddaughter, who grew up under her roof, betray her own family in such a cruel way would be an impossible blow to overcome.
"It is sad to realise that Judas is not only in ancient stories, sometimes he sleeps under the same roof, eats at the same table and, at the right moment, stabs himself in the back."
Hulk, who is best known for his prolific spell at Porto between 2008 and 2012, now plays Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro.
