During the early days of March 2017, Barcelona‘s players were given the afternoon off by then-manager Luis Enrique. So, Brazilian player Neymar decided to jet off to Paris. He did what a soccer superstar does during holidays, went off to party with a Hollywood star.
The now-Paris Saint-Germain player, who was in sensational form that season, took the short flight to the French capital. He went to meet up with actress Chloe Grace Moretz. The pair had a great time as was evident on Neymar’s Snapchat accounts. This added fuel to the speculation that they might be a couple.
The video of them partying together sent some fans into a meltdown on social media thinking they might have hooked up. It was also because Neymar’s rumored move to PSG was also taking flight at that time. The Brazilian joined the Paris club a year later in the summer of 2017.
Neymar had a fantastic stay in Barcelona. He was a part of the treble-winning squad of 2014-15 and also an integral part of the domestic double in 2015-16. He moved to Paris in 2017 and has been there amidst rumors of a transfer.
It all started when Chloe Grace Moretz called Neymar a ‘cutie’
Moretz and Neymar’s fondness was first spotted during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Kick-Ass and Hugo star tweeted “Neymar’s a cutie,” on June 13, 2014.

Chloe did not hide anything about her crush on Neymar and shared several tweets during the World Cup in 2014. After the “Neymar’s a cutie,” tweet, she later added: “NO NOT MY NEYMAR,” before writing: “This game. Wow. Missing Neymar.”

In January 2016, Neymar posted on Snapchat about the movie “The 5th Wave” hinting he had enjoyed the actress’ latest film. Shortly after that, Moretz tweeted out a screenshot of the post on Twitter and captioned it, “Hope you enjoyed it.”
Fast forward to March 2016, then 24-year-old Neymar posted a clip on his official Snapchat. Neymar and Moretz can be seen getting cozy and goofing off in that clip. It is believed that it was at a Paris nightclub.
While the duo might seem like an odd match, this is not the first time Moretz has shown affection for celebrities. She was previously linked with David Beckham and Victoria Beckham’s son Brooklyn Beckham. Brooklyn, on the other hand, recently got married to model and long-time girlfriend Nicola Peltz in 2022.
However, rumors of Neymar and Moretz have died down since they boomed in March 2016. There have been no posts or tweets since then by both stars.
