Surfing champ Gabriel Medina reveals “secret” love affair with dancer Isabella Arantes

“Finally the secret is now out…take care of him girl.”

Three-and-a-half years after Gabriel Medina’s marriage to model Yasmin Brunet sank amid rumours of Brunet’s wild jealousy and the strain of Medina’s then-estrangement from his mammy and step-daddy, the three-time champ as again braved the choppy waters of love announcing on Instagram his relationship with dancer Isabella Arantes.

Gabriel Medina posted a photo of the pair locked in an embrace during a trip to Península de Maraú, Bahia, using a heart-and-arrow emoji to signify their romance. Arantes followed with a post of them riding a motorcycle on the beach, captioned with a heart emoji, further solidifying their status as a couple. Friends, including surfer Pedro Scooby and footballer Neymar Jr., celebrated the announcement with supportive comments.

Gabriel Medina, who turns 32 in December, has been reluctant to dive back into anything serious after his catastrophic first marriage and any attempt to link the surf star to various woman was met with the champ’s famously brutal pen, one he has used to devastating effect against WSL judges. 

“Evil gossip can make you hate innocent people and love hypocrites,” Medina wrote on his IG story after he was tied to TikTok superstar Vanessa Lopes, who counts fifteen-million followers on TikTok, many who would leave the account with wet web stains on the front of their red bunny pyjamas, after the pair were photographed making out at a Sao Paulo nightclub. “Be wise, there are always two versions in every story told. Listen to them.”

The new gal is Isabella Arantes, a 28-year-old Brazilian model, influencer, and television personality. Arantes was previously engaged to singer Zé Felipe in 2019, a relationship that ended in 2020 amid allegations of infidelity by Zé Felipe. She also faced rumors of a brief fling with Neymar in 2019, which stirred a terrific controversy at the time.

“a brief fling with Neymar in 2019”

Neymar scrolling through old texts… aqui está uma Gabby… louco, mas ela tem movimentos…

How many estrelas do futebol has she been through before she started accepting surfers?

Barnycle

I usually don’t care to comment on people’s physical appearances, when there’s nothing they can do about it.

But this lady’s portuguesa blood is good and strong and I can tell that her tweezers are of a commercial grade. That’s a hell of a pair of eyebrows she’s got there. Now we know why the style of bikini waxing had to be called the Brazilian.

JSC

I daresay, there are a few intelligent surfers out there.

A few.

Huckleberry

You do kinda suck , bud.

“its good to be the king,,,” You right Mr. Brooks….

Seen a vid on YouTube of Gabby earlier today winning his first WC in 2014. 11 years ago – seems like yesterday in many ways, but also like ancient history in others. Still under that stain Charlie’s angry, sweaty, screamy thumb, still a bit petulant, ripped like a fucking madman on each stop that year. Won at big perfect T’a’who’po’oo’oooo, only ate shit once whole comp but wore a bit of shit for “not charging”, I thought he was being calculated personally. He absolutely shredded at most other stops shown in the clip to become the first Brazilian WC. Bravo Gab.

Current bravo Gabzy on the new Misso. What a babe. And double current bravo, still ripping. Love to see him claim another title next year, or him and JJF come back and battle it out.

Edit** how wild a name is Pedro Scooby – such flammable nickname fuel.

Chief Hot stuff

He got the ones with longer tubes, so hed win.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Thoughts and prayers, Bexy.

Barrelled

Bexy must be torn between Gabby (not his girl) and Jack Robbo’s girl. They would look like frickin twins if Gabs bolted some big balloons to his chest.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

I’m torn between Robbo’s girl and Nathan Florence’s girl. Bet both those guys have some insights to offer on the “surfing or sex” dilemma.

Barrelled

Mahina doesn’t look like Gabby’s twin though.

Chief Hot stuff

Stick to prayers

“Wet web stains on red bunny pyjamas” is my only takeaway.

PacificNorthPest

A classic beauty, and the girl’s pretty hot too

Kama'aina

Are all Brazilian surf stars (other than Yago) surf adjacent?

The Bitchy Crab

Gabriel very big deal in Brazil. Like Mick Fanning in Australia or Joel Tudor in US!

Kama'aina

had no idea that Joel was into sexy soccer players and stuff

Stick man

They always trying to score a Joel!

JSC

Joel Tudor is a “big deal” anywhere? Who knew?

Cranky old pothead who reveals his shallow ignorance and lack of education with every vitriolic Instagram post he makes.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

So he’s a co-author of your “book?”

JSC

I don’t even have to mention THE BOOK anymore because y’all are locked into a vicious Pavlovian response loop that JSC posting about ANYTHING elicits the strong reaction:

“Must preorder JSC’s book NOW, before they are all gone!”

Huli Opu

Attention BG sportsfans: Here’s some breaking news on Kunty Calhoun’s latest twisted panty antics. Due to the absolute dearth of pre orders for his book SurfEXPLOIT the publisher has delayed the release for at least another month in the hopes that Kunty will cease alienating his target audience.
Meanwhile, Kunty is currently attempting to ingratiate himself over at SN where he’s taken to calling them “illiterate convicts” while calling commenters over here at Beachgrit “softcocks”. Despite his efforts he continues to get brutally hammered below the line. 
Stay tuned. Your intrepid reporter will continue to closely monitor the situation and whether Kunty’s book of out of focus & outdated photos will ever actually be released. 
>>This just in ! J Kuntardo Calhoun is now soliciting for a new ladyboy excursion to the Philippines! Please send him a $1500US deposit and be friended on his Facebook page.

JSC

Not possible – there is no “co-author” and he blocked me on Instagram

Waterproof Polo

He raised a pretty good egg in Tosh. Heard him on the ATS pod this week and he’s a respectful chill kid. Style for days too.

nyc surfing golden boy

saw how big of a fuckhead his dad was and decided to go another route

Sean Connery

He became a much better surfer than I expected so the shit talking has dwindled.

FL Skunk Ape

idk you seem kinda cranky too

Magnum

Better to be cranky than a crank.
Better to have shallow ignorance than deep ignorance.
Better to be uneducated than miseducated.

Inability to discern sarcastic shit posting from vitriol puts one on the right side of that ledger.

Hippy

Who won the book last week, barreled needs to heat his yurt

NEGATRON

Deep Nandu but he hasn’t relied to the request for his details. Suspect it’s keep his anonymity or past handles in the closet. Like I give a shit.

Chief Hot stuff

Can i have it?
Please.

NEGATRON

I’ll give Nanbu another few days out of courtesy. If no reply it’s yours.

Chief Hot stuff

Hey. Wow, obrigado!!!

JSC

I do have ONE physical copy of The Book here in Singapore, direct from the publisher and I can say – everyone at Schiffer Publishing did a great job, the printing and the presentation are top of the range, could not find a SINGLE damn mistake in the whole 304 pages – so you are getting value for money here!

Chief Hot stuff

Cool, well if i get it, ill give it a write up.
Cheers.

NEGATRON

Flick me your details Boss. [email protected]

Chief Hot stuff

Ok, ta.

NEGATRON

It’ll come sometime in October 👍🏻
