After years navigating the high-profile world of UK football WAGs, Rebekah Vardy is turning a new page—this time in Italy.
With her husband Jamie’s recent move to Serie A side US Cremonese, the couple has flown to Lombardy, leaving behind Leicester and the social drama of the UK.
The 38-year-old took a moment on Instagram to pay tribute to the city they’ve called home for 13 years, writing: “Where history was made.
Never thought saying goodbye and moving on would be so hard.
Forever in our hearts. Will always be watching! Go smash it lads.”
A Fresh Start After WAGatha Christie
Rebekah’s relocation comes after the infamous “WAGatha Christie” scandal in 2019, when Coleen Rooney accused her of leaking private stories to the press.
The ensuing libel case ended in 2022 with Justice Karen Steyn ruling in Coleen’s favor, and Rebekah was ordered to pay a substantial £1.6 million in legal costs.
Sources have suggested that Rebekah is hoping Jamie’s football career can help her regain financial stability and rebuild her public profile away from the UK spotlight.
Moving abroad, whether to Italy, Saudi Arabia, or the US, could give her the opportunity to start fresh and surround herself with a new social circle.
Jamie Vardy’s Move and Its Implications
Jamie, 38, left Leicester at the end of last season, attracting attention from clubs across Europe.
For Rebekah, his next contract isn’t just about football—it’s about securing the lifestyle she’s accustomed to while also covering the lingering legal debts.
With limited personal earning potential outside her property portfolio, ensuring Jamie’s success on the pitch is crucial for maintaining their “ultimate WAG life.”
Who Could Join Rebekah’s New WAG Circle?
Now in Italy, Rebekah could find herself mingling with partners of the Cremonese squad.
Here’s a look at some of the WAGs she might encounter:
Marika D’Angelo, Partner of Federico Baschirotto
Central defender Federico Baschirotto, 28, may be one of the most handsome players in Italian football, but his upbringing on a pig farm instilled a strong work ethic.
He wears number six to honor his parents and siblings, and he’s open about the role Marika plays in his life.
Marika, a model with around 25,000 Instagram followers, often shares stylish couple photos from exotic locations, as well as supporting Federico at matches.
Their social media displays a mix of affection and glamorous travel shots, including sunset beach moments captioned simply: “Ti amo.”
Federica Boccardo, Partner of Emil Audero
Goalkeeper Emil Audero, who has Italian and Indonesian heritage, is currently playing on loan for Cremonese.
His partner, Federica Boccardo, works in beauty and aesthetics and describes herself as “music addicted” and “metal AF” on Instagram.
With about 30,000 followers, Federica shares glimpses of her work life and travels with Emil, blending professional content with personal moments.
Valentina Guglielmetti, Partner of Alessio Zerbin
Alessio Zerbin, 26, has played for Cremonese since joining from Napoli.
Valentina, his girlfriend and a graduate of the European Institute of Design in Milan, works as an interior designer.
She documents her travels with Alessio, from Paris to South Africa, and showcases her interior design projects, creating a stylish, aspirational social media presence.
Alessia Gamba, Fiancée of Michele Collocolo
Alessia Gamba, 24, is engaged to midfielder Michele Collocolo, 25.
The couple has a seven-month-old son, Federico, and shares a mix of family and travel content on Instagram.
Alessia frequently posts about fashion, holidays, and football, maintaining a modest yet glamorous online persona while traveling frequently for work and leisure.
Debora Bolzacchini, Partner of Matteo Bianchetti
Debora Bolzacchini is married to Cremonese captain Matteo Bianchetti, 32.
The couple, who met in Verona in 2013, have two daughters and often celebrate football milestones together.
Debora’s Instagram reflects a supportive, family-focused lifestyle, including celebrations of Matteo’s promotion to Serie A this summer.
Nicole Pasini, Partner of Filippo Terracciano
At just 24, Filippo Terracciano has already made a name for himself in Italian football.
His partner Nicole Pasini keeps a relatively simple Instagram presence, showcasing their life together through trips, meals, and match-day moments.
Her down-to-earth persona balances the glamour often associated with WAG life, making her an interesting figure in Rebekah’s potential social circle.
A New Chapter in Lombardy
With the move to Italy, Rebekah Vardy has the chance to redefine her public image, make new friends, and support Jamie as he continues his football career.
Whether she builds a circle among Cremonese WAGs or forges new connections entirely, the Lombardy chapter promises fresh opportunities both socially and professionally.
