Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr has split with his girlfriend, Virginia Fonseca, after a brief seven-month romance. The Brazilian winger and the TV personality made their relationship public in October with a series of romantic photographs from a getaway in Monaco. However, the couple has now decided to part ways.
Virginia Fonseca's Statement
Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Virginia announced their split with a photo of the two and a heartfelt 170-word statement. She wrote: 'I'll always allow myself to live. Living something real, without fear, without calculations and without stopping who I am.'
'While we were together, I devoted myself a lot, as I dedicate myself to everything I intend to do in my life. After all, I've always worked hard, always been very focused on my dreams and my responsibilities.'
'But I'm also a woman, and I allowed myself to live this without creating any barriers, valuing the respect I have always had within any relationship. Throughout my life, I've learned never to negotiate what, in my opinion, is non-negotiable.'
'So when something doesn't make sense, I'd rather have the maturity to close with affection than remain for it. Today, we choose to respect each other's way.'
'I cheer a lot for Vinícius' happiness and success, and all of that with lots of affection. I ask for the respect of everyone and that it should be a page turned in the life of everyone, just as it will be in mine! Thank you.'
Who is Virginia Fonseca?
Virginia Fonseca is an influencer and entrepreneur with over 55 million followers on Instagram. The 27-year-old first gained popularity on YouTube in 2016, creating content about beauty, lifestyle, and family. Since then, she has expanded into television and business.
Vinicius Jr's Season and Future
The breakup comes during a challenging season for Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid. The Spanish giants missed out on the La Liga title to bitter rivals Barcelona earlier this month, suffering a crushing 2-0 loss at Camp Nou that saw the Catalans presented with silverware. Despite months of speculation about his future, the Brazilian winger has expressed his desire to remain at Real Madrid. He told Sport: 'I only think about Real Madrid and being there for a long time.' The 25-year-old is out of contract next summer, but it is believed that he will be offered an extension at the Bernabeu.
