A former professional football player from Brazil, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé (Portuguese pronunciation:), was born on October 23, 1940. He is thought to be one of the greatest footballers of all time and FIFA’s “the greatest.”
He was one of the best-known and most successful athletes of the 20th century. In 1999, the International Olympic Committee named him the Athlete of the Century, and Time named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
How long did Pelé and Anizia Machado date? Who is their daughter?
Sandra Regina was the name of Pele and Anizia’s daughter. At least two other children from prior relationships belonged to Pelé.
Pelé had an affair with a housekeeper named Anizia Machado in 1964, and Sandra Machado was born as a result.
Sandra Machado battled Pelé for years, but he refused to submit to DNA testing. Even after his eldest daughter passed away in 2006, Pelé refused to accept her even though courts recognized her as his biological daughter based on DNA evidence in 1993.
