Gabriela Nogueira da Cunha, known as Gabi, is the wife of Manchester United and Brazil forward Matheus Cunha. She is a lawyer from Rio de Janeiro, the couple have been together since 2017 according to the Brazilian press, they married in May 2024 at Praia da Pipa in north-east Brazil, and they have two children, Levi and Liz. Her exact age has never been made public.

As of November 2026, Matheus is 27, plays for Manchester United and played for Brazil at the 2026 World Cup, where he scored three goals. In this article, OhMyFootball goes through what is actually known about Gabriela, with dates and sources, and leaves out the zodiac readings, guessed net worths and copied claims that other websites present as facts.

Who is Matheus Cunha's wife?

Matheus Cunha's wife is Gabriela Nogueira da Cunha, the name she uses on Instagram. Brazilian outlets also call her Gabriela Nogueira, her maiden name, or simply Gabi Cunha. On her profile she describes herself as a lawyer and a mother, from Rio and living in Manchester.

According to Brazilian outlets such as Diário do Pará and Uai, the couple have been together since 2017, the year an 18-year-old Matheus left Coritiba's academy for Sion in Switzerland. How they met has never been explained publicly. Gabriela has followed him through his moves to RB Leipzig, Hertha Berlin, Atlético Madrid and Wolves, and then to Manchester United in 2025. No separation has ever been reported, and as far as is publicly known they are still together.

Matheus Cunha and Gabriela's wedding

Matheus and Gabriela married on Saturday 25 May 2024, two days before his 25th birthday. The wedding took place at Praia da Pipa, a beach village in the municipality of Tibau do Sul on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, and not in Rio de Janeiro as several English-language profiles claim. On the day itself, the Brazilian football site NetVasco reported that Philippe Coutinho and Douglas Luiz were in Rio Grande do Norte for the wedding and that Cunha had married that afternoon.

According to a society column in the local paper Agora RN, the ceremony was held at the Madeiro Beach Hotel, Pipa lived through three days of celebrations, and guests came from several parts of the world, including Coutinho, Douglas Luiz and Nelson Semedo, then his teammate at Wolves. The party itself lasted 16 hours, with five musical acts, among them the forró singer Wesley Safadão, who, the column said, sang until almost six in the morning.

Gabriela later summed it up on Instagram by asking whether it had been a wedding or a festival. As reported by Agora RN, she wrote that she had danced, sung, sweated and been very happy, to forró, samba, pagode, funk and rap, just the way the couple love it. The tango mentioned in many English-language articles does not appear in her post as Agora RN quoted it.

Back at Wolves for pre-season, Matheus described the day to the club's website in July 2024. He said his wife had been amazing and that he had seen all his family there, his son included:

The couple waited a while for a honeymoon. In September 2026, more than two years after the wedding, Gabriela posted holiday photos, tagging Matheus, from what she called their retroactive honeymoon.

Who is Gabriela Cunha?

Gabriela is a Brazilian lawyer from Rio de Janeiro, a carioca, as Brazilians say. She is not a celebrity, and for most of Matheus's career she stayed out of the headlines. That changed in June 2026, when his goals at the World Cup sent Brazilian fans to her Instagram account and several Brazilian outlets, including Diário do Pará, Acessa and Uai, ran profiles of her, all describing her as discreet and focused on her family.

We could not find a full interview she has given to the press. She has, however, been heard alongside her husband: in an interview with the Brazilian channel CazéTV, reported by Jornal de Brasília in April 2026, Matheus explained that he goes back to his home state of Paraíba whenever he can, and Gabriela joked that this leaves them half at odds, because if he has a single day off, he flies to Brazil and heads straight for Paraíba.

Gabriela Cunha age and birthday

How old is Matheus Cunha's wife? Her exact age has not been published by any reliable source, and she has never posted her year of birth. Several websites give her birthday as October 1993, which would make her 33 in November 2026, but they disagree on the day (some say 5 October, others 9 October), none of them cites a source, and we could not confirm it. The claim that she is about five years older than Matheus rests on that same unsourced date.

What she has shared herself is a birthday post: on 13 October 2026 she thanked God on Instagram for another year of life, for a love that still surprises her, for friends who crossed an ocean to be there and for healthy children. That fits an October birthday, but not any particular year.

For comparison, Matheus Cunha was born on 27 May 1999, so he is 27 years old as of November 2026.

Where is Gabriela Cunha from?

Gabriela is Brazilian and comes from Rio de Janeiro: her Instagram bio says she is from Rio, and Brazilian outlets describe her as carioca. Matheus, on the other hand, was born in João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba in the north-east of Brazil. He still spends as much of his time off there as he can.

We found no reliable source naming her parents or any brothers or sisters, and we are not going to guess.

Gabriela Cunha education and job

Gabriela trained as a lawyer. She presents herself as one on Instagram, and Brazilian outlets such as Diário do Pará, Agora RN and Super Rádio Tupi call her an advogada, a lawyer. Some English-language profiles add that she studied law for five years at the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), but we could not find a reliable source for that, so treat it as unconfirmed.

Whether she still practises law has not been made public. Since Matheus joined Wolves in January 2023, the family has been based in England, and her bio says she now lives in Manchester.

Matheus Cunha and Gabriela's children

Matheus and Gabriela have two children, both named publicly by the couple:

• Levi, their son, was born in late May 2020, while Matheus was playing for Hertha Berlin. On 22 May he came off in Hertha's 4-0 derby win over Union Berlin and went straight from the stadium to the hospital, in time for the birth, as the German agency dpa reported. Levi is 6 as of November 2026.
• Liz, their daughter, was born on Monday 21 July 2025, a few weeks after Matheus joined Manchester United. He announced her arrival on Instagram with the words "Hello world I'm Liz. And we are 4 now." Liz turned 1 in July 2026, and Gabriela shared photos from her first birthday.

Goal reported that Cunha announced the birth on the Monday, just hours before United's squad flew out to the United States for their pre-season tour.

The video above is Um dia na vida (A day in the life), a short film published by Wolves in February 2025. According to the club's description, it starts with a tour of the family home, follows Matheus to training and to a Wolves Foundation visit to a young supporter, Junior, and ends back at home with his family.

Gabriela Cunha Instagram

Gabriela's Instagram handle is @gabincunha, under the name Gabriela Nogueira da Cunha. Her account had about 131,000 followers in November 2026, up from the 80,000 to 98,000 that Brazilian outlets counted in June 2026, before the World Cup sent new followers her way. She posts family life, holidays in Brazil, travel and matchdays at Old Trafford. Matheus is on Instagram as @cunha, with about 6 million followers.

After Brazil's World Cup exit in July 2026, she published this tribute to her husband. She wrote that only the two of them knew how many prayers and promises lay behind living that World Cup, that she knew he had wanted more, but that her heart was full of gratitude, and she thanked him for being an example to their children.

On 4 November 2026, the day after Matheus's late double against Roma in the Champions League, she posted photos tagged at Old Trafford, calling it a night she would never forget.

Gabriela Cunha net worth

Gabriela's net worth has never been made public, and we are not going to invent one. The figures found online are about Matheus, and most of them are estimates. What is on record is that Manchester United paid Wolves a reported £62.5 million for him in June 2025. His salary has not been confirmed by the club, so we leave out the weekly wage figures that circulate online.
