It’s the third marriage for Pele and the second for Marcia.
Before he ever married, Pele had a controversial relationship.

The couple married in 1966, while living in Brazil.

In 1970, they welcomed a son, Edson (perThe Sun).
The couple relocated to the United States and settled in New York City in 1975.
In 1978, they welcomed a third and final child, their daughter Jennifer.
Pele’s infidelities are what ultimately kept the couple apart.
