Legendary Football player Pele got married for the third time with his girlfriend of six years Marcia Cibele Aoki.
    
Pele, 75, told O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper that this time, he has found "love forever."
    
According to reports, Pele met Aoki for the first time at a party in New York in 1980s but they started dating each other only in 2010 following a chance meeting in a lift in Sao Paulo.
 
He officially presented his girlfriend at a football awards ceremony in Monaco in 2012.
 
Aoki, a 42-year-old businesswoman, has been by the three-time world champion's side for nearly all his public appearances since 2012, as well as during his repeated hospital visits in recent years.
 
She is a Japanese-Brazilian importer of medical equipment from Penápolis, São Paulo.
 
Pele was previously married to Rosemeri Cholbi in 1966, with whom he had three children — Edinho, Jennifer, and Kelly. But the couple divorced in 1982.
 
From 1981 to 1986, he was romantically linked with the model Xuxa, and was seen as influential in launching her career; she was 17 when they started to date.
 
He then married psychologist and gospel singer Assíria Lemos Seixas in 1994, who gave birth to twins Joshua and Celeste through fertility treatments on 28 September 1996. However, the couple divorced in 2008.
 
Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pele played as a forward and is widely regarded as the greatest player of all time.
