CHELSEA midfielder Enzo Fernandez posed publicly with his girlfriend Valentina Cervantes for the first time since their brief split last October.
The midfielder delighted fans with a snap from the Stamford Bridge pitch of the couple alongside their children Olivia, four, and Benjamin, one.
Enzo Fernandes posed publicly with Valentina Cervantes for the first time since their split
The couple went their separate ways in October
They re-united in January amid rumours one of Fernandez's team-mates was speaking to Valentina
Fernandez, whose pass led to Spain defender Marc Cucurella’s winning goal against struggling Leicester, had posted several photos of their kids but none of 24-year-old influencer Valentina since she announced the end of the relationship.
She confirmed last month they were back together - after reports Fernandez had tried to fix their relationship when he discovered an Argentina team-mate was trying to seduce her - but has yet to post her own pics with the Chelsea star.
One of Fernandez’s 11.3 million followers on Instagram reacted to the happy family snap by saying: “Very good. You couldn’t lose that amazing woman.”
Another, referencing the reports about Valentina and other footballers which she was quick to refute after confirming she had patched things up with Fernandez, said: “She did it very well. He wanted to be alone?
“With great dignity, she told him that it was perfect and literally left him alone: she took the kids to Argentina, got a job where she is doing well, and told him, “Calm down, I don't need you.”
“By the way, she sent word that many footballers invited her out and that she was willing to fall in love again. My new idol.”
Another fan added: “The photo more than half the world were waiting for.”
Fernandez and Valentina had sparked reunion rumours at the end of January after being spotted kissing and holding hands as it emerged she was still in London and had yet to return to Argentina with their two children nearly a month after flying to the UK for New Year to “stay a few days.”
She went on to fuel fans’ expectations by posting photos showing her having breakfast in a dressing gown on a hotel balcony opposite Rome’s Colosseum with two coffee cups on the table.
Confirming they were back together as she prepared to head back to London last month after a modelling assignment in Buenos Aires, Valentina told an Argentine TV programme: “When I took the children to the UK for New Year we were able to speak.
“We’re a family, we’re very young, our children are still very small and while there’s love and good communication, I don’t think there’s anything that can’t be fixed.”
She added in an impromptu airport interview before catching her flight: “Maybe by being with Fernandez in the UK, we realised, he more than anything, that he missed us as his family, that he missed me, and I think it was that.
“This separation was good for us so that he realised a lot of things.
“Thankfully I'm doing very well. From the beginning, even when we were apart, I had good expectations and I still have them now.
“There are worse crises and thankfully ours never became a big thing.”
Valentina has just signed for Buenos Aires-based model and talent agency Multitalent Agency and has said she will leave Olivia, who is now enrolled at school in the UK, with Fernandez and fly back to Argentina with their toddler son for future work commitments.
Reports around the time the first reunion rumours emerged at the end of January centred on Fernandez trying to fix their love affair after discovering an Argentina team-mate was trying to seduce Valentina.
Journalist Daniel Fava said on America TV show A la Tarde he had been told a fellow world champion was "sniffing around her" and then added in a second bombshell claim "more than one footballer" had contacted her over social media since the couple's shock split.
Valentina rubbished the claims as she confirmed she and Fernandez were back together, saying: “I don’t know how that came out or where it came from, but it’s false that one of Fernandez’s team-mates wrote to me.
“If one had I probably wouldn’t say so publicly anyway, but I’d tell Fernandez and I haven’t said anything because it’s not true what’s been said.”
She also admitted she hadn’t asked the footballer whether he’d slept with anyone else during their near-four month break but revealed Fernandez had asked her.
Valentina announced the end of their relationship in late October by writing on Instagram: “With Enzo, today we decided to put space between us.
“But we will always be family and we will support each other in everything because there are two children in the middle who need a lot of our love for them.
“I know the person and the excellent father that Enzo is, and the heart he has and with that, I'm satisfied.
“Don't try to create wars where there are none.”
In an interview with Argentine newspaper La Nacion in December where she revealed the New Year family reunion, Valentina admitted she and Fernandez lived and slept together for another 10 days after he left her shell-shocked by telling her “from one day to the next” he didn’t want to be with her anymore.
Speaking of his decision to call time on their relationship, she added: “I think it was a combination of things on his part. He made the decision and I respected it. We have two children together.
“To this day, we try to have a good relationship, we try to share, so that the kids can continue living together.
“If you ask me what happened, I have nothing specific to tell you.
“I just think that he decided to focus 100 per cent on his career, on performing, on finding himself.
“He might not have been at his best as a player and tried to find it. Today, fortunately, things are going well for him. That's why I'm also happy.”
