We’re both from San Martín, we have a group of friends in common. “He used to go on vacation to Mar del Tuyú, and in 2018 I went there with my family, and that’s when I really got to know him. “We’d see each other on the beach, we talked that summer, and it wasn’t until the end of the year that we actually got together. For our first date, he invited me to the nephew’s country house, which was for his birthday.” Olivia, their first born, arrived in 2020, and they soon became young parents. She revealed: “When Olivia was born, we were living in a studio apartment in Urquiza, which Enzo’s agent paid for. “During the pandemic, the three of us were there, and I was working at a call centre, while he didn’t have a salary yet. At that time, we bought our daughter’s used clothes on Facebook Marketplace. “We used to take the bus; Enzo would get off at General Paz and catch another one to River, and I’d keep going to the Urquiza station because I worked downtown at an empanada shop, and later at the call centre near the Obelisk.” In 2022, Enzo moved from River Plate to Benfica. Valentina and Olivia uprooted to Lisbon to start a new life. But, they weren’t there long. Some five months after he made his debut for the Portuguese giants, Enzo was transferred again. This time, it was Chelsea calling in a then British record £107million deal. Valentina and Olivia followed once more, before they could catch their breath in Portugal. In October 2023, Enzo and Valentina welcomed a son to their brood, when Benjamin was born.

But, underneath the surface, cracks were beginning to show. A brief split In November 2024, Enzo and Valentina had parted ways. Argentine journalist Julieta Argenta claimed that Fernandez told her he wanted to “live alone”. She added context in a social media post, writing: “They’re still family, but he feels the need to experience the stage he skipped by choosing family early on.” Valentina admitted she was blindsided by the break-up in an interview with Paparazzi magazine. She said: “Everything was fine and suddenly one day he told me that he didn’t want to be anymore. There are things that I still have to process, but that’s it, I accepted it.” In November 2024, Enzo and Valentina briefly went their separate ways Credit: Instagram Valentina was blindsided by the break-up Credit: Instagram Valentina confessed that she cried for five minutes when Fernandez told her about the breakup, but her background of being the daughter of separated parents shaped her perspective. It got complicated Barely three months after they went their separate ways, Enzo seemingly had a change of heart. They were seen walking around London kissing and holding hands, and it seemed their romance was back on But, reports in Argentina claimed that he moved to repair his relationship, after finding out an unnamed Argentina international team-mate had tried to seduce Valentina. In an explosive claim about the midfielder’s apparent decision to backtrack on his decision, journalist Daniel Fava revealed it was linked to a move by another member of Argentina’s winning World Cup squad on Enzo’s long-time partner. Fava said on TV show A la tarde in January 2025: “In the last few hours there’s been a reconciliation with his ex-partner Valentina Cervantes. They’re giving things another go.” He added: “The information I have is that Enzo Fernandez is desperately trying to win her back because he’s heard that a fellow world champion is sniffing around her.” Months after splitting up, Valentina and Enzo reconciled Credit: Instagram Reports said Valentina was approached by an unnamed Argentina teammate of Enzo’s Credit: Insagram The report added that Valentina had more than one suitor in the football world Credit: Instagram The Argentine journalist offered no further clues about the identity of the mystery player he was pointing the finger at, or whether he even knew his name.

A fly in the ointment Not long after Enzo and Valentina had rekindled their romance, it was claimed that blonde beauty Wanda Nara had slipped into his DM’s.

Reports in Argentina said Wanda and Valentina appeared frosty with each other, and apparently for good reason too. According to La Nacion, Wanda sent Enzo a flirty message that read: “I just saw you around the neighbourhood, write to me if you want.” It’s claimed that, rather than respond, he immediately showed the message to Valentina.
