- Gabriel Jesus’ girlfriend is social media sensation Raiane Lima who has almost 400k followers on Instagram
- She was rumored to be dating one of Brazil’s State Parliament Members in 2021 but Lima denied the allegations and insisted that she was with no one else but the Arsenal player
- In May 2022 Raiane and her boyfriend welcomed a daughter together.
Raiane Lima, the girlfriend of Arsenal’s forward, Gabriel Jesus, is fondly referred to as a social media influencer. She has quite a huge fan base and following and when you add her current relationship with Jesus, one will understand why she is such a sensation.
Lima and Jesus’ relationship began in 2021 after they were both spotted together in Brazil. Prior to this, there was little or no information about who the social media influencer dated, safe for a rumor about a possible relationship with a Pernambuco parliament member.
Raiane Lima is 24–Years Old
Gabriel Jesus’ girlfriend was born on February 8, 2001, in Serra Talhada, Brazil. In 2022, she celebrated her 21st birthday when she posted pictures wishing herself well.
The birthday post from 2022 wasn’t her first social media celebration, though. In 2021, she also celebrated her 20th birthday a day after. In the image uploaded, the social media influencer, as she is famously referred to, posed with a birthday cake.
With this, she is about 4 years younger than her soccer-playing boyfriend who was born in 1997. Gabriel Jesus was born on April 3, 1997, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Allegations that Lima was Dating a Brazilian Member of Parliament
In 2021, there were rumors peddling that Raiane Lima was dating a Pernambuco Member of Parliament. The name of the man is Rodrigo Novaes, a married man who also served as the Tourism minister.
The allegations also claimed that Gabriel’s girlfriend was under-aged while she was dating the man.
However, she refuted the allegations starting from the claims of being under-aged. The social media sensation stated that she was 20 years old and that she only knew and was with her footballer-boyfriend.
In her words, she wrote –
“I just want to clear up a few things that gossip sites have been saying. First of all, I’m 20 and have been over-age for some time now.
Second I was not dating anyone when I got to know Gabriel. Today we are in a relationship, yes, but that’s something that only concerns us.
We are single, free and anything else said other than that is gossip and cruelty.”
She Confirmed her Relationship with Gabriel Jesus after They were Spotted Together
The Brazilian girlfriend of Gabriel, Lima, Began to date the former Manchester City player in 2021. They had reportedly been together for a while but kept the relationship under wraps until they were spotted together.
The news of the romance between both Brazilians began to spread after they were captured together in Serra Talhada. There, the couple was seen boarding the private jet of the soccer player.
After this, Raiane confirmed that they were together and have remained so ever since. On July 2021, the couple confirmed their relationship status to fans and followers.
However, there was a time that rumors began to make waves in Brazil, yet again. This time, it was about a possible split for the couple. This rumor, the Brazilian forward and his girlfriend refuted immediately. The couple posted loved-up pictures of themselves reassuring everyone that their relationship was moving well.
Raiane Lima Welcomed her Daughter with Gabriel at the Age of 22
After scoring the only goal for his former team, City, against Chelsea FC, Gabriel announced he would soon become a father. A couple of months later, he welcomed his first child with his girlfriend, Lima.
Their daughter named Helen was born on May 24, 2022. This was not a surprise though as Raiane did not keep her pregnancy a secret. She shared many pictures of herself flaunting her baby bump, on Instagram.
The happy father, Jesus, also posted pictures of the baby reveal he had for Lima. On the post, weeks before Helen’s birth, he announced that he and his girlfriend were expecting a baby girl.

She has always been Supportive of her Boyfriend
Raiane Lima has always been a supportive girlfriend to her athlete boyfriend. She has, over time, celebrated his wins with him.
One instance was when Gabriel’s former club, Manchester City won the Premier League Title in May, Raiane Lima was there to celebrate with him. She appeared in a selfie with the player while placing a hand on her baby bump.
Another example of how supportive she is stems from the fact that upon her boyfriend’s move to Arsenal from Manchester City, she also had to move with him. Not only does she have a baby to raise with her boyfriend, but she also will be supporting the soccer player.
What is Raiane Lima’s Net Worth?
Raiane Lima, the social media influencer, is yet to reveal what she makes and through what franchises. However, she does seem to be living quite a comfortable life.
Her boyfriend and the father of her baby, Gabriel Jesus, is worth as much as $75 million. Upon his move to Arsenal, the former Palmeiras player would earn 13.7 million pounds.
With his current position at Arsenal, Jesus is quite capable of starting his own family. He would probably soon ask the mother of his daughter to marry him as Marcus Rashford did in early May 2022. Whatever the case may be, the future looks bright for the couple and they may just join the list of athletes who have strong, long-lasting marriages.
