In a star-studded lineup like that of Real Madrid, Fede Valverde is a name that often goes overlooked. Nevertheless, his contributions are invaluable, having played a pivotal role throughout his six seasons with the Spanish giants. Interestingly, for Valverde, one individual remains particularly challenging to impress—his wife and biggest supporter, Mina Bonino.

Regardless of whether it pertains to Valverde’s on-field performance or various controversies, Bonino frequently finds herself in the spotlight. Let’s explore everything we know about her.

Who is Mina Bonino?

Mina Bonino is a 30-year-old journalist and TV presenter. She hails from Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina, born on 13th October 1993.  Achieving professional acclaim early in her career, Bonino has interviewed numerous high-profile individuals and hosted various television programs.

Apart from her career achievements, the Argentine is an avid soccer enthusiast. She ardently supports the Argentine club River Plate and also cheers for Real Madrid, aligning with her husband’s allegiance to the team. Known for her outspoken opinions on soccer, she famously referred to Lionel Messi as the ‘GOAT’ during Argentina’s success in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which even sparked some controversy among fans.

When Casemiro departed from Real Madrid, as reported by Marca, Bonino made a unique plea for him to stay, saying, “Gil de mierda! No te vayas,” which translates to “Don’t leave, you sh*t b*****d.” Even Fede Valverde is not spared from her critiques, especially after poor performances. One such incident is when Fede received an earful following Ajax’s victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The couple initially met online through Instagram. Their virtual interactions led Bonina to travel to Spain. They made their relationship public in March 2019. Since then their partnership has thrived both personally and professionally resulting in a harmonious family life blessed with children.

How many children does Fede Valverde have?

Fede Valverde and Mina Bonino are proud parents to two sons. Their eldest, Benicio, was born on February 20, 2020, followed by their second child, Bautista, who arrived on June 25, 2023. The couple faced significant complications during Bonino’s second pregnancy. Reports indicated that they initially experienced the tragic loss of their unborn child after being informed by medical professionals that the pregnancy could not continue.

However, against those daunting odds, they were eventually able to welcome their second son a few months later. Presently, the family appears to be in good spirits and thriving together. The bond between this Uruguayan and Argentinian couple is truly heartwarming for Real Madrid fans.
