Madalena de Moura Neves: Gonçalo Guedes' Partner
Who Madalena de Moura Neves is, what is publicly known about her life with Gonçalo Guedes, and where the Real Sociedad and Portugal forward stands in 2026.
Madalena de Moura Neves is the long-time partner of the Portuguese forward Gonçalo Guedes, who plays for Real Sociedad in LaLiga in 2026. We could not find any report of a wedding, so we call her his partner rather than his wife, even though the old address of this page says "wife". The most recent public sign we found of the two together is from July 2026, when Portuguese newspaper Record photographed them as guests at a football wedding in Algarve.
Almost everything else written about her online comes from copy-paste "WAG" pages. Her height, weight, net worth, star sign and the exact day the couple got together are not published by any reliable outlet, so this article leaves them out and sticks to what can be sourced.
Who is Madalena de Moura Neves?
Madalena de Moura Neves is a Portuguese woman who has been linked to Gonçalo Guedes for years. She is on Instagram as @madalenamouraneves. In November 2024 Notícias ao Minuto reported that, after a security scare, she had deleted her previous profile and opened a new, private one. We have not found an interview with her, and she has not made a public statement about their relationship that we could find. Her date of birth, her job and her family are not published by any reliable outlet, so we do not state them.
Is Gonçalo Guedes married?
We found no report that Gonçalo Guedes has married Madalena de Moura Neves, and no engagement announcement either. That is why this article avoids the word "wife". If the couple marries, it will be through their own posts or the Portuguese press, and we will update this page.
On 26 July 2026 Record published a photo gallery from the wedding of Portugal striker Gonçalo Ramos in Algarve. One photo is captioned "Gonçalo Guedes e Madalena de Moura Neves", which places the two together at the event. The caption does not say how they are related, so it is a sign that they were still together in the summer of 2026, not a confirmation of their status.
Do Gonçalo Guedes and Madalena have children?
Yes. Gonçalo Guedes and Madalena de Moura Neves have a son. Portuguese news site Notícias ao Minuto reported in November 2024 that he was then one year old, in an article that called Madalena the footballer's partner ("companheira"). We have found no report of a second child, and we do not share more about a young child than the press already has.
How long have they been together?
No reliable outlet gives the date the two got together, and neither of them has said publicly when they met, so we do not give one. What can be sourced is that Portuguese media already described her as his partner in November 2024, when their son was one year old, and that Record captioned them together at Gonçalo Ramos's wedding in July 2026.
Who is Gonçalo Guedes?
Gonçalo Manuel Ganchinho Guedes was born on 29 November 1996 in Benavente, Portugal, according to English Wikipedia. He plays as a winger or forward and is listed at 1.79 m. As of November 2026 he is 29 and turns 30 at the end of the month.
He came through the Benfica academy, which he joined in 2005, and made his name in the Portuguese league before moving abroad. Real Sociedad is his sixth club, according to A Bola.

Gonçalo Guedes in 2026: club and Portugal
Guedes is a Real Sociedad player in the 2026-27 season and wears number 11, according to English Wikipedia (last edited on 8 November 2026), which also credits him with 54 appearances and 11 goals for the club. The same page lists the 2025-26 Copa del Rey among his honours with Real Sociedad. We could not find a recent contract announcement. Reports on the length of the deal he signed in 2025 differ, from the summer of 2027 to 2029, so we do not give an end date.
For Portugal he made his senior debut on 14 November 2015 in a 1-0 defeat in Krasnodar against Russia and has 34 caps and 8 goals, according to English Wikipedia. He was in Portugal's squads for the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020, and he scored the only goal of the 2019 Nations League final against the Netherlands, which Portugal won.
After a long gap, coach Roberto Martínez recalled him to the squad in 2026: Observador wrote in March about his return to the squad, and on 19 May 2026 he was named in Portugal's squad for the 2026 World Cup. Portugal finished second in Group K, beat Croatia 2-1 in the round of 32 on 2 July and lost 1-0 to Spain in the round of 16 on 6 July. We could not confirm how many minutes he played at the tournament, so we do not state any.
