Wayne Lineker Debuts New Brazilian Model Girlfriend After Sobriety and Family Healing

Businessman Wayne Lineker has gone public with a new relationship with a Brazilian model, marking a period of significant personal change for the 63-year-old. The revelation comes alongside the announcement that Lineker has achieved eight months of sobriety and has reconciled with his brother, television presenter Gary Lineker, after a 17-year rift.

The businessman was photographed on April 14, 2026, during a romantic outing in London. The couple was seen visiting luxury boutiques on Bond Street, including Prada, where they were observed sharing kisses throughout the excursion.

For the outing, the Brazilian model wore black trousers paired with a stylish brown leather jacket. Lineker wore a navy jacket, a grey jumper and black linen trousers. The outing indicated a shift in lifestyle for the club promoter, who has recently swapped his typical Ibiza-based activities for time in the United Kingdom.

Personal Recovery and Family Reconciliation

Lineker has linked his new relationship to a broader journey of healing and sobriety. He recently disclosed that he had previously consumed six bottles of wine every weekend, supplemented by gin and several beers. He stated that he is now able to stop after just one drink.

This period of recovery has coincided with the resolution of a long-standing family conflict. Lineker has healed a rift with his brother Gary that had persisted for 17 years.

Regarding his current state of happiness, Lineker described the act of finding love as the last piece in my puzzle, or the last piece in my jigsaw puzzle.

Conflicting Reports on Relationship Status

Despite the photographic evidence of the April 14 outing, a representative for the businessman provided a different account of his relationship status to the Daily Mail.

Wayne is single and has been for some time.

The spokesperson suggested that the images from Bond Street might not accurately reflect the nature of the relationship, noting that pictures can sometimes give a slightly misleading impression and that the photos simply showed Lineker enjoying his time in London.

Upcoming Plans

Regardless of his relationship status, Lineker is preparing to return to Ibiza for the start of the upcoming season. He is also scheduled to celebrate his birthday later in April 2026 with his family on the island.
