Football legend Ronaldinho has responded to rumours of him marrying two women at the same time.
The 38-year-old former Barcelona star was reportedly aiming to tie the knot with his two 'fiancees' in August, Brazilian sources alleged. 
Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza, two women whom he has been seen with at numerous social events, have been living together with him at his £5million Rio de Janeiro mansion since December.
Ronaldinho started dating Beatriz in 2016, but is said to have continued his relationship with Priscilla, which began several years earlier.
The Brazilian legend had been in the west zone of the city on Thursday, May 24, for the launch of his R10 brand when he responded to the claims.
When asked about the rumours he exclaimed to SportTV: "The whole world is calling me. I'm not going to get married, it is the biggest lie."

Ronaldinho political plans  

Brazil World Cup winner Ronaldinho was considering a move into politics as his celebrated football career draws to an end.
Ronaldinho's brother and agent, Roberto Assis, had confirmed reports that the 37-year-old received an offer to run for a Brazilian senate seat with the conservative Patriota party in next year's federal elections, Xinhua news agency reported.
"The party contacted us to talk about his possible candidacy," Assis told Uol. "They left the door open in case he wants to choose that career path. It's not the first time that a political party has contacted us. It also happened with Romario's party (Brazilian Socialist Party)."
Ronaldinho must decide before April, the cut off date for candidates to be registered with Brazil's electoral commission.
Despite having not played competitively since leaving Fluminense in September 2015, Ronaldinho is yet to officially announce his retirement.
In the past two years the former Barcelona star has participated in several exhibition matches around the world, including appearances for Spanish club's legends team.
Ronaldinho was twice voted FIFA World Player of the Year and was part of the Brazil team that won the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
