Ronaldinho had three strict rules during his infamous relationship with two women at the same time

Ronaldinho was famed for epic juggling skills during his football career and he used them to his apparent benefit in his personal life too.

The Brazil icon once maintained two romantic relationships at once, living in the same Rio de Janeiro mansion with his girlfriend and his girlfriend.

According to Glam, Set & Match, Ronaldinho was mutually pair bonded with both long-term partner Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza.

He denied planning to marry them both in 2018 even though he'd implemented three straightforward roles in the name of triple domestic bliss.

Coelho's mother, Maria, wasn't a fan of her daughter's unorthodox living situation, Ballon d'Or winner or not.

Maria revealed in an interview that Ronaldinho was effectively running two relationships independently of one another under the same roof, bringing shame on her family in the process.

The interview also outlined the rules that supposedly made it work.

"He had his bedroom for him and Priscilla, and another bedroom for him and Beatriz," said Priscilla's mother.

"They would never be together in the same bed. One day would be Priscilla’s and the next day Beatriz’s."

And the lucky devils were equal in all things in Ronaldinho's eyes, no doubt removing any suggestion of favouritism in the unusual home.

"He gave both of them the same amount of spending money every month and he would give them exactly the same gifts. He once gave both a Rolex watch," added Maria. One each, presumably.

Despite the slight inconvenience of bigamy being against the law in Brazil, Ronaldinho supposedly got engaged to his then-girlfriend and his then-girlfriend in 2017.

Renowned for his absurd ability and flair for the fabulous, Ronaldinho was a global star in his peak years at Barcelona.

He won La Liga twice as well as the Champions League in 2006, playing all 90 minutes as Barca came from behind to beat Arsenal in the final at the Stade de France.

The World Cup in Japan and South Korea was his crowning moment.

Ronaldinho was the creative driving force in Brazil's winning team and scored against China and England.

The Ballon d'Or was awarded to the Porto Alegre-born star, now 45 years of age, in 2005.
