Giannina Maradona

After dating briefly, Giannina married her boyfriend, football star Sergio Agüero, in 2008. Their marriage was a private event, held in the presence of their closest friends and family. Agüero is an Argentinian professional footballer who plays as a striker for ‘Premier League’ club ‘Manchester City’ and the Argentinean national football team.

Incidentally, Agüero’s record of being the youngest footballer to play in a first-division game for Argentina was previously held by his father-in-law, Diego Maradona.

On February 19, 2009, a year after her marriage to Agüero, Giannina gave birth to their son, Benjamin, in Madrid.

Giannina Maradona was born in Argentina, on May 16, 1989. She grew up in the limelight. She is the younger of the two children of retired Argentinean footballer Diego Maradona and his wife, Claudia Villafañe. Her elder sister, Dalma Nerea Maradona, was born two years prior to her.

Diego was an accomplished playmaker and attacking midfielder who is known for his classic number 10 jersey. He is regarded as the greatest footballer of all time by many sports reporters and football fanatics.

Giannina’s parents were introduced to each other when their families became neighbors in 1976. Their long-term relationship culminated in marriage in the latter half of the 20th century, after the birth of their younger daughter, Giannina.

Diego and Claudia’s marriage was alleged to be turbulent for the better part of their relationship, due to Diego’s substance abuse issues and frequent news reports of his extra-marital affairs. Eventually, they parted ways in 2004, citing irreconcilable differences. Giannina’s sister, Dalma, has been quoted as saying that the divorce was the best solution for all, as her parents remained friends after the divorce. However, Giannina was not happy with the divorce.
