Endrick and Gabriely Miranda: 4 Reasons behind their decision to get married
1, The Dating Contract
Pulse Sports earlier reported that Gabriely Mirand, a model and nutrition student, revealed on the Pod Delas podcast that she and Endrick had signed a “dating contract,” while he was still a player for Palmeiras.
"It's true, we have a dating contract. It's not a time contract. There is a contract that has e-mail, RG, has his signature, has my signature, has everything," the model said.
Endrick also revealed that he even felt sorry that he had done something wrong when he found out that his girlfriend wanted to make a dating contract.
"At the time she was doing it, I thought she was very pu*a with me, because she took a long time to do it, it was an hour, and she didn't answer me. I said, 'I did some shit'. Of nowhere she sent a contract, she really made a contract,” the 18-year-old said.
Gabriely also mentioned that the document was created a while after they made the relationship publicly official, in October last year.
Details of the dating contract soon emerged, stipulating certain rules and restrictions both spouses must follow as well as repercussions for breach of terms.
There are several rumours claiming that the contract only fostered Endrick’s decision to tie the knot with his girlfriend and legally become husband and wife, irrespective of what the contract said.

It is also rumoured that the young model and influencer first paraded the idea of a potential wedding while the footballer was at Palmeiras.
Months before their dating contract was revealed, several outlets in Brazil reported there were actually plans for l the young couple have to get married even before his move to Real Madrid.
However, the plans would have stalled due to Endrick’s official presentation at Real Madrid, and it is understood the footballer wanted to first adjust to life and fully settle down in the Spanish capital.
However, when those reports emerged, there were still a number of concerns surrounding their relationship regardless of the fact that Gabriely is accepted by Endrick’s parents — who were advised to warn their teenage son about making such a huge decision amid a crucial phase of his football career.

Endrick and his older girlfriend-turned-wife have always spoken highly about each other in several interviews.
In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Endrick spoke on Gabriely’s role in his life:
"We had a lot of fun. We celebrate the victories, but we also stay together after the defeats,” the Los Blancos teenage sensation said.
"We have different careers, which require dedication and care. Both depend on details and, over time, we get to know each other more. I enjoyed experiencing what she does, even more with her,” he submitted.
Meanwhile, Gabriely has also had nice words for her younger beau too and was quoted to have said recently:
“When I first saw Endrick, I didn’t know he was a football player. He was sitting alone in a mall, and I thought, ‘What a wonderful man! He has a seductive look and character.’ I felt he was the man of my life, my future.
"I fell in love at first sight, then discovered he was a Palmeiras player.”

4, Gabriely’s successful attempt to silence critics
Endrick and Gabriely Miranda’s marriage is also believed to be a direct response by the model to silence her critics.
Gabriely, in particular, has come under immense scrutiny over her decision to enter into a relationship with a younger man, much more a footballer such as Endrick.
The 21-year-old model has also been an unfair subject of criticism from fans on social media with some going as far as claiming she was only dating Endrick for the material and financial potentials of the athlete.
However, that is not to say that Gabriely has not enjoyed several benefits since her relationship with the footballer began.
She has already graced the cover of several high profile magazines alongside the footballer including ELLE and even Esquire.
Gabriely has also posed for sportswear giants New Balance and bagged endorsement deals with some high profile brands.
She also saw an explosive growth in her Instagram following surpassing the 1 million-follower mark last month.
Endrick’s wedding to Gabriely is said to serve as the model’s perfect response to critics who believe she had no plans on sticking with the footballer for a long time.
