Just ahead of his highly anticipated move to Kaizer Chiefs, 28-year-old striker Flávio Silva took a major step in his personal life—he got engaged to his long-time partner, Zanira Gomes.
The couple, who already share a daughter, have now made their relationship official, further solidifying their family bond.
Silva shared the joyful news on Instagram, writing:
“Finally, the ‘YES’ I’ve been waiting for… May we remain strong and united in this partnership and commitment to God and our family.”
He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to his fiancée:
“Thank you for believing in my words from the beginning. I love you so much ❤️💍.”
The post revealed a more intimate side of Silva, one that fans may not have seen on the pitch.
His sincere message and romantic gesture showed a man who values love, loyalty, and long-term commitment—a trait that Chiefs supporters are already admiring.
Despite his engagement dominating headlines, the Kaizer Chiefs fanbase hasn’t lost focus on what Silva brings to the squad.
Supporters have taken to social media to extend warm welcomes and high expectations for the striker’s impact.
