Edinson Cavani and Jocelyn Burgardt are believed to have first met in 2014. According to Télé Loisirs, at that time, Cavani was in the midst of a contentious separation from his previous wife, Maria Soledad Cabris Yarrús, whom he had been married to since 2007 until their divorce seven years later. Following the separation, Cavani and Burgardt began dating during the player’s time with PSG.
