La Albiceleste ended their 36-year wait, adding the third prestigious trophy to their collection after triumphs in 1978 and 1986.

Valentina Cervantes was born in Buenos Aires on February 4, 2000. She is a year older than Enzo Fernandez, who, on the other hand, was born on January 17, 2001, in San Martín, Argentina. While the details regarding her parents or siblings are not public, she is said to be brought up in a middle-class family background. After completing her education at a reputed school in Argentina, Cervantes pursued higher education to become a teacher. However, she had to drop her studies to become a homemaker and support Fernandez’s career. The extensive traveling required around the world made it difficult for her to continue her education simultaneously.
Regardless, life is much better than being a teacher for the 25-year-old as she is now a social media influencer and model. She has over 1.1 million followers on Instagram as of June 2024, where she is also friends with Lionel Messi’s beloved wife, Antonela Roccuzzo. Aside from sharing glimpses of spending quality time with her family, Valentina regularly posts about her work, promoting several brands on the Meta-owned platform. Majorly, she endorses ‘Aloyoga,’ a brand that Messi’s significant other also promotes on Instagram. While the basic details about Cervantes are known, let’s explore how her relationship began with Fernandez and whether they share any children.
