Portuguese soccer player João Félix has gained attention as a notable soccer player, but as is the case with most athletes, many of his fans are concerned with his life off the field — namely, who he may or may not be dating.
The athlete has kept as much of his personal life private as he can over the years, but there has been one significant relationship that has slipped through the cracks. Here's what we know about who João is dating.

Fans accused his ex-girlfriend, Magui Corceiro, of cheating on him before their split was confirmed.
João was romantically linked to Magui Corceiro starting in 2019, and though the pair tried to keep their relationship private, fans began accusing Magui of cheating on João throughout their relationship.
This began in 2021 when Magui was spotted in public with Pedro Porro, beginning the rumors. Tabloids immediately rushed to assume she was cheating on João, though Magui denied having such an affair with Pedro.
“If I wanted to be kissing someone in an intimate moment, it would not be in Lust. Much less in the VIP section with that small balcony and in view of the entire nightclub,” she said at the time, per The Sports Grail."I met [Pedro] unexpectedly at a group meal a few months ago. And we have had a terrific time since then, we are really close friends, I adore him, he is incredible.”
"I have a special relationship with her, no one is being unfaithful to anyone," Pedro said of the rumors.

"João and I achieved goals together for a few years, in a phase of change, growth and learning," Magui wrote on social media, according to Goal. "Not having been together as a couple for some time, I am lucky enough to be a part of his life. We appreciate all the messages from those who really care about us. We are fine, happy and friends as we always were. He will return here and then we'll see what happens. We have got nothing planned."
Does João Félix have a girlfriend?
Though much of João's recent career has seen him publicly tied to the Portuguese actress and model, it seems that he's flying solo for the moment. The pair announced their split officially earlier in the year, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating online that they may be back together.

The back and forth about his relationship status has clearly bothered João, who made the decision to address it directly online. In response to the rumors that he was back with Magui, he made a simple post setting the record straight.
"That's not true, I'm single," he wrote, per Marca.
It seems for the moment the athlete is choosing to take some time away from the dating field, though he's made it clear he still holds great respect for his ex. Whether or not they ever reconcile remains to be seen, but it's clear from both of their social media accounts that they have no issue confirming or denying the various rumors.
