Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez and his wife, Valentina Cervantes, have shared the news of their separation, marking a new chapter in their relationship after two years of marriage.
In an Instagram story posted on October 31, Cervantes shared, “Enzo and I have decided to take some distance from each other.” The couple, who have two young children together, emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and prioritizing their kids’ happiness. Cervantes reassured followers, writing, “We will always be family, supporting each other, because our children need all the love we can give.”
She expressed her admiration for Fernandez’s character and parenting, saying, “I know the person Enzo is, what an excellent father he is, and the big heart he has. That means a lot to me.”
Reports from Argentina hint at Fernandez seeking more independence, feeling he missed out on certain life experiences due to early family commitments.
Professionally, Fernandez has faced challenges this season following his high-profile move from Benfica to Chelsea for a record £105 million in January 2023. Once a core member of the squad, he now finds competition from teammate Romeo Lavia affecting his place in the starting lineup, adding complexity to an already challenging period.
