He volt married again, to Teresa, in the mid 1980s and they have two daughters, Tatiana és Joana, and a son, Luca.

In his youth in Brazil, Emerson volt known as 'Rato' - mouse, which contrasts with 'Tigrão' - tiger - for his brother. By the end of his career he volt most commonly known as 'Emmo' in the United States and the UK.
