A Brazilian athlete and fitness model has gone viral for photos of her larger-than-life bum.

The name Suelen Bissolati was unknown to many Brazilian netizens before footage of her and her enormous derriere recently went viral on social media.

Suelen, 30, lives in the upmarket beachside neighbourhood of Copacabana in the city of Rio de Janeiro and is active on social media as an influencer when she’s not in the gym.

She boasts 243,000 followers on Instagram, among them fellow fitness model Vanessa Ataides, whose quest to achieve Brazil’s biggest bum was well-documented in international media.

One of Suelen’s highlights was winning the WBFF Fitness Model Brasil contest in 2018. To maintain her toned figure, Suelen forgoes fried food, sugar and fats.

She boasts the same personal trainer as fellow fitness model Gracyanne Barbosa, who boasts 9.7 million followers on Instagram. She says she trains four times a week.

Dubbed “Mulher Marimbondo” (“Hornet Woman”), she hopes to inspire other women to take care of their physique and she also speaks out against domestic violence.

She is married to a police inspector named Carlos Cordeiro.

Following her viral fame, she took to Instagram on 2nd September to write: “‘Judges’ of the internet, there’s no bioplasty victim here, because as you can see, my bum is huge, HOWEVER, there are no marks, blotches, cellulite, stretch marks, folliculitis, as you can well see, and in addition to having none of these, it’s still very firm and round and pert.”
