Vinicius Jr's New WAG Shines at Bernabeu!
Real Madrid Star Vinicius Junior's New Love Life
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has officially confirmed his new relationship this week, and the woman in his life is a well-known influencer from the Latin world. The 25-year-old Brazilian winger and Virginia Fonseca, who is 26, shared a sweet Instagram post that confirmed their rumored relationship.
In the photo, they were seen cuddling together in front of a sign that read "love." This came just weeks after the couple had briefly broken up. Vinicius's teammates, both international and club-level, quickly responded with congratulations on the news. Neymar joked, "little boy is loving it," while Eduardo Camavinga added, "things in loveeee."
But who exactly is Virginia Fonseca, the new influencer-turned-presenter at the Bernabeu?
Fonseca is a well-known name in Brazil, with an impressive following of 53 million on Instagram and around 40 million on TikTok. 
She first gained fame on YouTube when she was 17, almost a decade ago. Born in Connecticut, United States, she grew up in Brazil. She once said, "I started working with YouTube in 2017. I discovered that I wanted to do this when I moved to Portugal. My Instagram had grown a bit. I already had 10,000 followers, and a friend of mine here in Brazil said that I should create a channel. My cousin from Portugal already had one and helped me. I created it and started to enjoy it. By my third video, I already had 100,000 subscribers."
Her online presence continued to grow, and she eventually landed her own television show called Sabadou com Virginia, or Saturday with Virginia, on the major South American TV network SBT.
During her professional success, she also began dating Brazilian country music star Ze Felipe in the late-2010s. Felipe has around 13 million monthly listeners on Spotify. 
The pair married in 2021 and have three children: Maria Alice, Maria Flor, and Jose Leonardo. However, their relationship ended earlier this year, which shocked fans in Brazil.
Announcing their split on Instagram in July, the former couple wrote, "Always together and now in a different way. Not being together as a couple will never be a reason for us not to value everything we've built, a beautiful family. We lived it intensely, we grew closer, we discovered the joy of being parents, and we were partners in every moment. We root for each other and that's how we'll continue. We chose honesty and not a life of appearances, because this is who we are."
They later added that they "cried all night" after deciding to end things in the best way possible.
However, it was just months later that Fonseca moved on with Vinicius. While the pair did not initially confirm their relationship, she was reportedly seen in the stands at the Bernabeu up to three times during the early weeks of this season.
Their relationship faced challenges in early October when rumors surfaced that Vinicius had been messaging another model. Fonseca ended their romance briefly before taking him back after he issued a heartfelt apology in an Instagram story.
Vinicius wrote, "We all go through moments that make us reflect and grow. Recently, I experienced a situation that made me reflect and recognize attitudes that did not represent who I want to be or the type of relationships I want to build. Virginia is an incredible woman, an admirable mother, and someone for whom I feel enormous affection and respect. Since we met, she has come to Madrid three times to see me, leaving behind her routine, her commitments, and her life just to be with me. I met an admirable mother and an incredible partner. Although we were not yet officially a couple, there was a sincere connection. I am not ashamed to admit that I was careless, that I did not respond in the best possible way, and that I disappointed her."
The apology worked, and the couple officially went public this week. After sharing the sweet photos expressing their romance, Fonseca also posted glamorous pictures from the stands of the Bernabeu. Dressed in the new Real Madrid kit, the influencer-turned-presenter showed that she and Vinicius are well and truly back on track by supporting him at El Clasico on Sunday.
