Real Madrid ace Vinícius Júnior has finally confirmed his romance with influencer Virginia Fonseca after weeks of rumours he’d cheated with a model.
The 23-year-old footballer showed off his new relationship to his 56 million Instagram followers, sharing a string of loved-up snaps from their romantic getaway in Monaco.
In the pictures, the pair’s plush hotel suite was decked out with rose petals and heart-shaped balloons – one spelling out “LOVE” and another forming the words “V loves V” on the bed.

The couple were later seen leaving the hotel hand-in-hand, carrying red balloons and laughing together, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The post went viral within hours, racking up millions of likes and famous pals including Neymar and Rodrygo Goes jumping into the comments.
Virginia, who recently celebrated her daughter Maria Flor’s third birthday, has been spotted supporting Vinícius at several Real Madrid matches – even cheering him on from the stands at the Santiago Bernabéu.
She shares Maria with her ex partner, singer Zé Felipe.
Vinícius and Virginia’s relationship confirmation follows a rocky spell after reports the Brazilian forward had a fling with model Day Magalhães.

But it seems the couple have now put the drama behind them and are enjoying a much smoother ride.
During their Monaco break, the pair were seen dining out with friends including Éder Militão and his partner Tainá.
The duo are said to have started dating in September but briefly split after the cheating allegations surfaced.

At the time, Vinícius broke his silence with an emotional public apology, saying: “We all go through moments that make us reflect and grow.
“I recently experienced a situation that made me look inward, recognise attitudes that did not represent who I want to be and the type of relationship I want to build.
“Virginia is an incredible woman, an admirable mother, and someone for whom I have enormous affection and respect.
“Since we met, she has come to Madrid three times to see me, leaving her routine, commitments, and her life just to be with me.
“I met an admirable mother, an incredible partner.
“Even though we weren’t officially a couple yet, there was a sincere connection.
“I’m not ashamed to admit that I neglected her, didn’t reciprocate in the best way, and disappointed her.
“Therefore, I want to apologise publicly, with an open heart, because I understand that a true relationship only exists when there is respect, trust, and transparency.”
Looks like the Brazilian star has scored again – this time, in love.
