Personal life

Bruno is the only child of former volleyball players Bernardinho and Vera Mossa.[http://robertobessert.blogspot.com/2011/12/lembra-dela-vera-mossa-musa-do-volei-e.html Lembra Dela? Vera Mossa, musa do vôlei e do cinema, vira 'mãe do Bruno] - robertobessert.blogspot.com - 24-12-2011 His mother took part in Olympics three times (1980, 1984, 1988). His father is a silver medalist with the 1984 Olympic Games and former coach of Brazil men's national volleyball team. His parents divorced when he 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 former volleyball player Fernanda Venturini, Bruno has two younger half-sisters, Júlia (born 2002) and Victória (born 2009).[http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/siatkowka/107328/bernardo-rezende-zostal-ponownie-ojcem Bernardo Rezende został ponownie ojcem] - wp.pl - 27-10-2009

Bruno often faced accusations of nepotism when he first started playing for Brazil's national volleyball team since his father, Bernardinho, was the team's coach from 2001 to 2017. However, he and his father vehemently defended themselves against the accusations and were always backed up by the other players, who said Bernardinho was tougher and more demanding of Bruno because of their family ties.{{cite web |url=http://olimpiadas.uol.com.br/noticias/redacao/2016/06/08/nada-de-pai-e-filho-bruninho-fala-sobre-relacao-com-bernardinho-na-selecao.htm |title=Olimpiadas Bruninho explica relação com Bernardinho |website=olimpiadas.uol.com.br}}
