It’s not just Real Madrid fans celebrating lately — winger Vinicius Junior has also scored big off the pitch.
The 25-year-old Brazilian football star has officially confirmed his new relationship with influencer and TV personality Virginia Fonseca, 26.
After months of rumors and a short-lived breakup, the couple made things Instagram official this week, melting hearts across Brazil and Spain with their cozy new photos.
Vinicius and Virginia Go Public
The couple shared a sweet picture on Instagram, cuddling in front of a glowing “love” sign — a post that confirmed what fans had long suspected.
Vinicius’s teammates were quick to flood the comments with playful reactions.
Neymar joked, “Little boy is loving it,” while Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga chimed in with, “Things in loveeee.”
Their romance had been making waves for weeks, especially after Fonseca was spotted multiple times in the stands at the Santiago Bernabéu.
But this time, it’s official — and the football world can’t stop talking about it.
Who Is Virginia Fonseca?
For those outside Brazil, Virginia Fonseca might seem like a new face. But back home, she’s practically a household name.
With over 53 million Instagram followers and 40 million TikTok fans, she’s one of the most influential digital creators in Latin America.
Born in Connecticut, USA, and raised in Brazil, Virginia started her career as a YouTuber at just 17 years old.
Her charm and humor quickly built a massive following.
“I started working with YouTube in 2017,” she once said. “By my third video, I already had 100,000 subscribers.”
Her success only grew from there. Fonseca later transitioned into television, landing her own show, Sabadou com Virginia (which translates to Saturday with Virginia), on Brazil’s major TV network SBT.
From Music Royalty to Single Mom
Before her romance with Vinicius, Fonseca was married to Brazilian country singer Zé Felipe, who boasts 13 million monthly Spotify listeners.
The pair tied the knot in 2021 and share three young children — Maria Alice, Maria Flor, and José Leonardo.
Earlier this year, their marriage came to a surprising end. Announcing their split in July, they shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, writing:
“Always together, but now in a different way.
Not being together as a couple will never erase everything we built — a beautiful family.”
They admitted the breakup was emotional, saying they “cried all night” before deciding to part ways “in the best way possible.”
A Rocky Start with Vinicius
Not long after her divorce, Virginia found herself linked to Vinicius Junior.
The influencer was spotted cheering him on at Real Madrid games several times earlier this season.
But by early October, the couple briefly split amid rumors that Vinicius had been messaging another model.
When the relationship hit trouble, the footballer took to Instagram with a lengthy public apology, showing a rare vulnerable side.
“I went through a situation that made me reflect and recognise attitudes that didn’t represent who I want to be,” he wrote.
“Virginia is an incredible woman, an admirable mother, and someone I have enormous respect for.”
The message seemed to do the trick — and the couple soon reconciled.
Back Together and Stronger
Now, Vinicius and Virginia are officially back on track. Their latest joint post didn’t just confirm their romance; it celebrated it.
Fonseca also shared glamorous photos from El Clásico, proudly wearing the new Real Madrid kit while cheering from the stands.
It’s safe to say love is in full bloom for this high-profile pair — a mix of football, fame, and forgiveness that’s captured fans’ hearts across continents.
What’s Next for the Couple?
For now, the two seem focused on keeping things happy and grounded.
Vinicius continues to shine at Real Madrid, while Virginia juggles motherhood, her booming influencer career, and now, her new life as one of football’s most talked-about WAGs.
