Brazil football legend Romario, 60, has allegedly been dumped by his girlfriend Tiffany Barcelos, 25, a student, after the latter found out that he was cheating on her with her own friend.

According to British tabloid The Sun, the 1994 World Cup-winner cheated on Barcelos with her friend Barbara Cavalcanti. It is learnt that the former Barcelona striker was spotted with Cavalcanti in Fernando de Noronha (a tourist destination in Brazil), after which Barcelos unfollowed him on Instagram and deleted all his comments from her posts.

Romario and Barcelos had been dating for three months, and were first seen together in public in February at the famous Carnival celebrations. A few days ago, the couple were even seen watching a football match together in Rio de Janeiro.

Romario, hailed as one of the best strikers of his generation, scored 55 goals in 70 matches for Brazil and enjoyed a fruitful stint with Barcelona as well, where he racked up 39 goals in 65 games.
