On the evening of January 1, on her personal Instagram page, Marcele Seppiel - Nguyen Xuan Son's wife suddenly posted a video of the striker born in 1997 suddenly proposing to her with a wedding ring.
Xuan Son expressed: "Marcele, do you agree to marry me?". Then, the "WAG" also laughed and replied: "I agree".
The couple's sweet moment caused a storm on social media before the 2024 ASEAN Cup final. Marcele Seppiel's acceptance of Xuan Son's proposal also gave the Vietnamese striker great mental strength for the upcoming important match.
In fact, in 2018, Xuan Son and Marcele Seppiel got married before the 27-year-old player went to Japan to play.
However, due to injury and not meeting professional requirements, Xuan Son moved to Denmark and then to Vietnam in 2019 to play for Nam Dinh. His wife Marcele also accompanied her husband on every journey.
On his personal page, the Brazilian striker often shares images of his simple, everyday life. The moment he took his wife and children on a motorbike to buy fried banana cakes on the roadside once received a lot of attention. This proves the couple's love as well as the affection that Xuan Son and his family have for Vietnam.
During matches and important events, Marcele and her two children are always by Xuan Son's side. The WAG often appears in the stands to cheer for him and his teammates. Before that, she was also present at the ceremony to receive Vietnamese citizenship with her husband.
Marcele also tries to learn Vietnamese culture. According to Xuan Son, he and his wife practice singing the Vietnamese National Anthem every day. The WAG also loves Vietnamese food and can cook dishes from the S-shaped country.
