Santiago Giménez touched down at Porto’s Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport on Sunday night alongside his wife, Fernanda Serrano, known as Fer Serrano. Their relationship began in lockdown through an online video game, Jornal de Notícias reports.

The 25-year-old Mexico international is beginning a new chapter in Portugal with Serrano by his side.

The pair first connected when Serrano posted on Instagram that she was playing Call of Duty. Giménez saw the post and asked for her username so they could play together.

What started with gaming sessions soon became regular conversations, and the couple grew closer as the striker’s career moved through different phases.

Now, with Giménez embarking on this next step in Portugal, Serrano remains alongside him, their story rooted in a video game.
