Arguably, the world’s best left-winger and Real Madrid’s heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s throne, Vinicius Junior continues to shine through another brilliant season.
The Brazilian netted 21 goals and provided 11 assists for Los Blancos this season so far. Partnering up with Karim Benzema up top, the duo has come alive once again at the business end of the season after a relatively slow start to the campaign.
The Madrid #20 also featured in the World Cup last year and scored a goal and provided three assists for his National team.
As he aims to finish off the season on a high once again, Vini was recently spotted with Spanish artist Lola Indigo in a picture that has the fans shipping the Madrid ace with the singer.
Also in a recent interview with Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Lola was asked about her interest in sports as the 31-year-old stated she’s “good friends with Vinicius Jr.”
However, to kill the hype surrounding the newest celebrity ship in football, Vinicius is already engaged to his fiance, Maria.
Being a football superstar who keeps their personal life under the shadows, not much has been covered concerning Vini’s love life. That said, the 22-year-old is publicly in a relationship with Brazilian model and influencer Maria Julia Mazalli.
Maria is a model and a social media influencer who rose to fame after appearing on the Brazilian reality show, De férias con o ex. She is also a brand ambassador for a clothing brand, Fashion Nova, and has gained over a million followers on her Instagram handle.
The two got together shortly after Vini’s move to the Spanish capital. The couple had initially decided to keep their relationships private but after a comical mistake from the two which saw both Vinicius and Julia post a selfie from the same bathroom of a hotel in Madrid, the eagle-eyed fans were quick to contemplate the relationship between the two.
After denying it for months, the couple made their relationship public early on in 2019 and have been together ever since. They later got engaged but little is known about their lives together. The Brazilian beauty has since been captured a couple of times supporting her partner from the stands.
Very little has been shared by Vinicius on his part when it comes to the Brazilian’s personal life. The story of how the 22-year-old met his Brazilian babe has remained a mystery ever since the news of the two dating broke out. No information on Vini’s previous love life has ever been made public.
After a slow start to life in Madrid on the pitch, Vinicius Jr came to life in the 2021/22 season when the Madrid left-winger tasted European glory for the first time, scoring Madrid’s title-winning goal in the final. The forward cemented his name among the best players in the world after finishing inside the top 10 in the Ballon d’Or rankings. With a foot in the semi-finals, Madridistas would be praying for Vini to be at his best yet again if Los Blancos are hopeful of securing back-to-back European success.
