World Cup icon Pele welcomed a lover into his ‘forbidden bedroom’ for hours of sex during a fleeting relationship – which only came to an end after a tragic miscarriage.
Selma Fonseca, a celebrity photographer and writer, has spoken out about her relationship with the Brazilian football legend following his passing at the age of 82.
Selma says that she met Pele while her best friend was working as his secretary in New York during the 1990s when she was just 23 – and living there as an illegal immigrant.
With Selma and her friend granted permission the man himself to stay in his luxurious apartment while he was living in Brazil, their one rule was to keep out of his bedroom.
Having begun a romantic relationship with the former striker, despite being starstruck and seeing him ‘as a god’ after meeting his children Kely and Edinho, Selma told the US Sun how they went back to the apartment she had lived in before his return.
She said: “When we got up to the apartment he took me straight to his previously forbidden bedroom and I finally got to see what was inside.
