Phillipe Coutinho, the 27-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder, has followed in the footsteps of his teammate Willian by getting baptized. However, unlike Willian, who was baptized in the River Jordan in Israel, Coutinho chose a more unconventional setting - his own bathtub.
According to a post on social media, Coutinho was baptized alongside his wife Aine in a ceremony conducted by Pastor Tiago Brunet. The couple expressed their gratitude to Brunet and his wife Jeanine, describing the occasion as 'two more than special days' that marked a new era in their lives.
Coutinho's baptism was met with support from his teammate Willian, who commented on the post with two praying hand emojis. Willian's own baptism in the River Jordan in June 2019 was a more extravagant affair, with him immersing himself in the river for divine purposes.
As reported by TUKO.co.ke, Coutinho's baptism is a significant milestone in his life, and he has chosen to share it with his fans on social media. The post has sparked a range of reactions, with some praising the couple's decision to get baptized in a unique setting.
