Maria, who is Priscilla's mother opened up about these details in a tell-all interview via Mirror Football.

”He [Ronaldinho] had his bedroom for him and Priscilla, and another bedroom for him and Beatriz. They would never be together in the same bed. One day would be Priscilla’s and the next day Beatriz’s," Maria told reporters via Mirror Football.

“He gave both of them the same amount of spending money every month and he would give them exactly the same gifts. He once gave both a Rolex watch.”
