Personal life

Bruno is the only child of former volleyball players Bernardinho and Vera Mossa.[6] His mother took part in Olympics three times (1980, 1984, 1988). His father is a silver medalist with the 1984 Olympic Games and currently coaches Brazil men's national volleyball team. His parents divorced when Bruno was a child. From his mother's first marriage to basketball player Éder Mundt Leme, Bruno has an older half-brother, Edson (born 1981). From her third marriage, he has a younger half-sister, Luisa. From his father's second marriage to Fernanda Venturini, Bruno has two younger half-sisters - Júlia (born 2002) and Victória (born on October 26, 2009).[7]

Because they're father and son and Bernardinho coaches the Brazil team, Bruno and Bernardinho often faced accusations of nepotism when Bruno first started playing for Brazil national volleyball team. However, both have vehemently defended themselves against the accusations, and were always backed up by the other players, who said Bernardinho is tougher and more demanding of Bruno because of their family ties.[8] Bruno with Neymar is crony friend.[9]
