“I was very happy, because I was already imagining that Vini was going to score. I was really rooting for him and for the National Team. When he scored, all I could do was jump, celebrate, and cheer,” she said on a Rede Globo program.

When did Vini Jr and Virgínia break up?

On May 15, Virginia Fonseca announced the end of her relationship with Vini Jr. Through a post on social media, the businesswoman thanked him for their time together and wished the player happiness.

“I will always allow myself to live. To live something real, without fear, without calculation, and without stopping being who I am.

While we were together, I dedicated myself a lot, just as I dedicate myself to everything I set out to live in my life. After all, I have always worked very hard, always been very focused on my dreams and my responsibilities. But I am also a woman, and I allowed myself to live this without creating any barriers, valuing the respect I have always had in any relationship.

Throughout my life, I learned never to negotiate what, for me, is non-negotiable. So, when something stops making sense, I prefer to have the maturity to end it with affection rather than stay just for the sake of staying.

Today, we chose to respect each other’s path. I truly wish Vinícius happiness and success, and I say all this with great affection.

I ask for everyone’s respect and that this be a turned page in each of our lives, just as it will be in mine! Thank you,” said Virginia.
